ProForm Treadmills

ProForm are most renowned for their Treadmill ranges, as each year more designs are improved and updated with the experience and knowledge gained from the previous range. By buying a ProForm Treadmill from Connection Fitness, you can be sure you are getting an up to date machine that combines a perfect balance of technology, quality and design.

ProForm Shock Absorption Running Decks

One of our favourite features of the ProForm Treadmill range is the shock absorption systems that are built into the running deck. The systems are often very visible on the sides of the running deck and they are constantly improving the technology in them. Many tests have shown that some of the shock absorption systems in the ProForm Treadmills can reduce the impact on your knees and joints by up to 33% in comparison with road running. Running to improve your health and fitness has many benefits, especially as the cardio vascular exercise works your heart and lungs and helps burn body fat. One of the only negative factors associated with running can be the strain put on your lower body; however, with ProForm Treadmills you can enjoy all the benefits that running brings whilst keeping impact on your joints to a minimum.

ProForm Treadmill Motors

ProForm Treadmills always have durable motors that are built to last. The latest range has Mach-Z™ motors with inbuilt cooling systems that help increase the longevity of the running machine, as well as providing a very quiet operating noise level. Looking at the HP ratings of motors can often be quite confusing as different measurements can be used. For example some ratings can be 'peak' and some 'continuous'. The peak performance is often a lot higher than that of the continuous rating and can sometimes mislead people. All ProForm Treadmills Horse Power Ratings are continuous so you can be sure you are getting a reliable product which offers a simple and effective means of comparison. ProForm Running Machines always have a sturdy design and a high max user weight, which is a good indication of the build quality and reliability of both the motor and supporting frame.

iFit Programs

iFit Programs are unique to ProForm Treadmills and are like having a personal trainer there with you. They focus on your goal such as weight loss, improved performance or endurance, and provide you with the ability to create and save custom workouts that will help you reach your targets more effectively. There are many iFit programs that can be downloaded from the Icon Health and Fitness support website when you register your product; these include popular programs such as Marathon Training, Weight Loss and Fat Burn.

ProForm Reliability & Warranties

ProForm Products usually carry a 2 Year's onsite warranty. If any problems occur, you will be provided with an on site engineer or replacement free of charge. On some of the new machines the warranties can often be extended by registering the warranty card that comes with the Treadmill. Whilst some companies can offer unlimited lifetime warranties, it is all relative to the price of the machine. It can often mean you are paying more than you should be for the functions and features so that the lifetime warranty cost is absorbed. The other factor to consider is that the warranty can only be as good as the company that provide the support. With ProForm, part of Icon Health and Fitness, you are buying a product from the largest and most successful Fitness Equipment Manufacturer in the world.
