Manufacturer's Warranty
Motor - three years; parts and labor - 90 days About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home. From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface. While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

 An older model but a good one if you can find it March 29, 2010
Yarii (the USA)
This is an older ProForm model, I have owned it almost 5 years now, and it appears to be well made. I've put a lot of mileage on it and never a breakdown of any mechanical parts. The console electronics conked out on me while it was still under warranty and I've had no trouble since then. This one seems to be better built than the newer models and less flimsy overall. Plus very few have two sets of hand weights that store right below the console like this model does.
The worst part of the assembly is just getting the treadmill out of the box. ProForm provides the allen wrench for assembly, but you have to provide a Phillips screwdriver. It took me all of 30 minutes, and I'm female.
The treadmill features:
>Speed adjustable from 0.5 to 10 MPH
>Incline adjustable from 0% to 10%
>2.75 THP (total horsepower) motor
>Fan is located center-console area above magazine holder- off/low/high settings - this fan keeps me cool and keeps me working out longer - however, if you want to read a book or magazine while walking, you can't run the fan as the book lays on top of this area
>EKG heart rate monitor hand-grips
>Back-lit LCD window displays speed in MPH or kilometers, time, carbs burned, pulse, distance and incline
>Space-Saver fold-up design
>Walking belt measures 17" wide by 53" long - OK for walking, but in my opinion, you need at least 18", preferably 19" or 20" to comfortably jog or run
>6 pre-programmed workouts - 2 of them are controlled by your heart rate and the speed/incline of the treadmill is constantly adjusted to keep your heart in the target fan burning zone
>iFit compatible - (with a paid membership) plug into your computer (with purchased audio cable as the one included is very short), Ipod, VCR or CD player for extra programmed workouts
>300 pound weight capacity (most treadmills are 250 pounds) - This wasn't a factor for me, but I figured, what the heck - you might as well get one with the highest rated weight capacity as it probably means the motor is better.
The treadmill also comes equipped with two sets of dumbbells - 2 pound and 3 pound - and these are stored in a rack right underneath the console. They should be used for walking only (no running) and are conveniently located so you don't have to bend down to retrieve them in the middle of your workout.
The treadmill is the fold-up Space Saver design, and when folded, takes up about the same amount of space as a bathtub mat. It has a set of wheels for rolling out of the way, but let's face it, if you are trying to roll this treadmill on carpeting, it is VERY hard to move it. After all, the treadmill weighs way over 200 lbs. and unless you are rolling it across hardwood floors, it will be tough to move.
I think the only area ProForm is lacking in is their warranty. Hopefully, I won't have to use it. The standard warranty with this model is 5 years on the motor and 90 days parts/labor on the remainder. I purchased the extended warranty for $119.00 which adds 3 years of extra warranty to both the motor and parts/labor. However if you read the FINE PRINT on the standard warranty, and the serviceman makes a visit to your home, you have to pay a "minimal trip charge". As to what is "minimal" - I have no idea.
Even though ProForm is a U.S. company, most of the parts come from China and it is assembled here. So far, the treadmill seems to be of high quality for the low dollar amount paid for it. I can't afford a high-end treadmill, and ProForm makes a good, economical treadmill that appeals to the masses. It is well worth the money spent for a healthier lifestyle.
 Great for the Price! May 14, 2007

I love this treadmill! It is a great bargain amongst treadmills. I am not a serious runner, just starting out. I love the automatic speed and incline controls, and I like that there is a magazine rack, cubby holes for my drink and ipod. I do find it is loud when I go over 6.5mp, so I do not recommend it for people who are looking to run a quick pace. I do also use the fan, which someone said on high speed was too loud to hear their music, but I did not find that to be a problem. So if you are looking to get in shape, are just starting out, and are on a limited budget, I highly recommend this treadmill.

Everything is ok. I am 50, high blood pressure, so I have to make sure my heart rate doesn't go over a certain number. That is where the problem lies, the device for measuring you heart rate is useless. It jumps from 50 to 133 beats per minute (bpm), down to 40bpm, up to 161bpm. When I check my pulse myself it's 112bpm, hmmm. Everything else about it is just fine, the fan though, yeah loud, but effective. Folds up nicely, still looks like a treadmill, makes a nice place to hang clothes. Sort of easy to move, better than nothing. Comfortable to walk on (I don't run).

Pros:
very easy setup, instructions are concise
powerful motor, sturdy frame
well coushioned belt
easy to read panel with handy quarter mile track readout
Cons:
Forget getting any tech-support from ProForm. Impossible to get them on the phone, be prepared to spend HOURS to contact.
Only ninety day full warranty
Fan real noisy, can't use fan and hear iPod at same time
Heart rate monitor on handgrips worthless. If you are buying for a cardio-workout and want accurate information be prepared to buy separate monitor with chest strap.
Display panel settings cannot be changed. You can't just monitor heart rate for example.
Bottom line
this is NOT a $699.00 treadmill; it is maybe a bargin @ 599.00 with free shipping.
IMHO this a $ 499.00 treadmill

I bought a treadmill from proform and a month later it broke down. I sent them an e-mail and told them about it. They keep telling me to try this and to try that and one day the E-mails stopped. I called them and said non of this is working could you send somebody out. They said sure for $140. I said no this is covered in the warranty. Turns out since I never actually "asked" them to come out and fix it that it was not included in the warranty and since the 90 days was up they were no longer obligated to fix it. A dirty little trick since I complained of the malfunction while the warranty was still active. Turns out that the e-mails stopped right at the 90 day mark when the warranty expired.
I paid the $140 to have somebody come out. The money was withdrawn from my account withing minutes of the phone call. However, a technician was not sent out until 8 weeks later after I called them several times. One time they tried to charge me again for the repair call. To fix the machine would have cost me more than I paid so it ended up going to salvation army. Even the technician said that proform was a shady company. Not only do they pull this type of thing all the time but they lie about the treadmills. This treadmill advertised that it could handle people up to 250 pounds, yet the repair man told me he would not suggest that any one over 160 pounds use it.
Proform is a terrible company who makes a terrible product and I will never do business with them again. Don't waste you time or your money on this piece of garbage. I cannot stress enough that you should stay clear from these scam artists.
