category. And yes, I would remove it.

Also, to make the URL shorter, remove the www (redirect www to non-www)

So:
http:// domain.co.uk/fitness-equipment/treadmills/lifefitness-t9i

Fits on a line perfectly :-)

Otherwise, set up a URL redirection service on your domain (I am about to
do so), meaning you can give someone a link via email, etc. that's
shorter, e.g. if someone wants info on the lifefitness-t9i, just
mail

http:// domain.co.uk/3efc/lifefitness-t9i

with 3efc the id of that page. And of course that URL 301 redirects.

The URL clearly shows that it's about the t9i.
