Proform treadmill
Proform treadmills are manufactured by the company Proform.
Proform is another subsidiary of Icon Health and Fitness, Inc.
Proform is one of the best known names in home treadmills since
they've been around for years.
Proform treadmills are economical and do offer lots of workout
features. With the advent of higher quality treadmills for a
similar price, it only makes sense to consider a Proform
treadmill if individuals budget is extremely limited. Proform
treadmill is a better option for users who are looking for a
standard treadmill under $1000.
Proform treadmill is not suitable for frequent treadmill users,
heavier individuals or competitive runners.
The main strength of Proform treadmills is their affordability
since they range in price from $500 to $1000. Another strength
of Proform treadmills is that if users want features like iFit
compatibility (download new treadmill workout programs from the
Internet), CD players, workout fans and hand weights, they can
probably find it in a Proform treadmill.
Proform has one of the largest treadmill line ups in the market
and there are tons of treadmill options to choose from.
The Proform 540 treadmill ranges from $500 to $799. This model
offers running surface up to 19 x 55", incline adjustment up to
10%, 300 pound user weight capacity, cool air workout fan
operating at 2 speeds and a 2.75HP motor capable of speeds up to
10 mph. This Proform treadmill model has a space saving design
and can be folded away after use. The Proform 540 treadmill
offers a 10 year warranty on motor and 90 day warranty on all
other parts and labor. The warranty period of this model is very
impressive especially considering the point that this model can
be purchased just under $800. This treadmill model is not
suitable for runners or heavier users.
The Proform 995 SEL treadmill can be purchased for $689. This
treadmill model offers running surface up to 20 x 55", incline

mph, 200 pounds user weight capacity, free 2 pounds hand weights

model of Proform also comes in space saving design and can be
folded away after use. The Proform 995 SEL treadmill rates
fairly well with buyers and is an affordable price machine. This
Proform treadmill model is not suitable for runners or heavier
users. The major disadvantage of this treadmill is that it
offers no warranty and is a large & heavy machine.
Proform Crosswalk Caliber treadmill provides users a treadmill
plus upper body workout arms. The Crosswalk's adjustable
resistance arms allow the user to customize the intensity of
their arm workout. This treadmill offers running surface up to

iFit CDs and folding option. The main advantage of this
treadmill is its ability to cross strain by using the arms. This
model can be purchased for $799.
Proform Pacetrainer treadmill is available at a price of $399
and is probably the cheapest Proform treadmills. It offers a
motor of 2.25 HP capable of speeds up to 10 mph, incline
adjustment up to 10%, running surface area up to 16 x 50", 3
year motor warranty, EKG thumb pulse sensor to monitor heart
rate, cool air workout fans and space spacing design.
Advantage of this Proform treadmill is obviously the price and
the warranty period of the motor. Proform Pacetrainer treadmill
has a very small area to move and run on.
Proform treadmills are a good option for users who have a budget
limited under $1000. Proform treadmills are neither solid nor
reliable. However, features like space saving design, iFit
compatibility, heart rate monitoring, workout programs, etc are
noteworthy especially considering the price of these treadmills.
