ProForm Elliptical Trainers review
Meet Proform, a subsidiary of Icon Health and Fitness, the largest retail fitness company. If you haven’t heard of Proform, you might be familiar with most of their brands namely Reebok, Weider, Nordic Track, and Weslo.
Proform elliptical machines are designed for the casual user. This machine may not be for you if you plan to work out on a regular basis. We strongly recommend you to consider other brands in the market. As a matter of fact, Runner’s World categorized Proform treadmills as a “light duty machine.”
You should look for elliptical above the $600 price range. Below that price range may have a questionable quality.
Inexpensive machines are meant to look similar to more expensive models thanks to genius marketing people. Plastic comes way lot cheaper than durable all-steel models. Icon is also big on bells and whistles. iFit technology is a perfect example, which controls your workouts with different kinds of challenges. The only drawback is the quality of their parts.
Proform elliptical trainers has surprisingly short period of warranty. It includes 90 days service and 90 days on parts. Another concern regarding Icon products is that support and service does not seem to be a high priority by the time warranty is over.
The good news is that you can purchase a separate three-year fitness equipment warranty worth $94.99. Plus, you can also consider checking out other high-end Proform Elliptical trainer such as ProForm Spacesaver DX Elliptical Trainer
