Proform Treadmills are a top selling brand of treadmills
produced by Icon Health and Fitness, one of the biggest manufacturers
of exercise equipment. Proform treadmills are a low priced but high
performance product that well serves the budget conscious purchaser
looking for home fitness equipment for light to moderate useage. Prices
are generally range between $500 and $1000 per unit, are well designed
and are packed with an impressive array of features. For walkers or
light useage, these models will serve well.
If you anticipate heavier useage requirements, you would
be well advised to avoid lower priced models ( from any manufacturer).
Also, keep in mind that lower priced treadmills typically
have a more limited warranty - coverage often extends for only 90
days. Customer service is not as good as some of it's lower volume
competitors.
Genreally speaking, you get what you pay for. Having
said that, Preform treadmills can offer good value for your treadmill
dollar and often include features not typically found on other treadmills
in the same price category.
Here's a rundown on some of these features:
ProTech Cushioning - helps to cushion and protect your
joints from stress
ProTeck Custom Cushioning - allows you to manually adjust
the deck for the most comfortable feel
ProShox Cushioning - helps to reduce impact. Stepping
on the pressure responsive air shock located beneath the treadmill
deck will compress the air chamber and mimimizes the impact.
EKG2 Grip Pulse - grip the built in heart rate sensor
for a quick reading on your pulse. This helps you determine if you
are exercising in your target heart rate zone.
iFIT - provides additional interactive workouts to help
keep you going
Heart rate monitors - optional - chest strap version
for more accurate readings.
Space saving - every Proform treadmill folds for storage
convenience.
