ProForm

The Proform brand is owned by the world’s largest manufacturer of retail fitness equipment—Icon Health and Fitness Ltd. The brand which is synonymous with treadmills, due to its revolutionary space saver foldaway treadmills, today manufactures a large variety of fitness equipment which includes ellipticals, treadmills, stationary bikes, strength training equipments, ab workout machines, steppers as well as Yoga and Pilates accessories.

In spite of having a huge stable of health equipment, Proform treadmills still remain the brand’s flag bearer. The brand offers one of the largest ranges of treadmills in the market today, but most of the products are in the entry level market segments and range from $500-$1500. Proform’s treadmills offer huge value for money and are among the cheapest treadmills available in the market. They are also loaded with a large number of great features and are a good buy for beginners. However, these machines are made for low intensity workouts and durability may prove to be an issue. One of the main things that deter people from buying Pro form treadmills is the limited 90 day warranty that it comes with. On top of that, these machines are not known to stand intense workouts and a lot of users develop complaints regarding Proform treadmill parts.

However, to combat warranty and quality issues, the company has come up with new models which come with longer guarantees and better motors. The best Proform treadmill in the market right now is the Proform 5 Star Interactive Trainer 1800 Treadmill at $1899. However, this is a price range where many others treadmill companies start their range. The Proform 755 treadmill, which comes with a voice cross trainer is one of the most popular models at $799.Among the low range treadmills, the C525 is a very good option since it comes loaded with a lot of features at only $499.The J8, at the base level is another popular treadmill that is reasonably priced.

Apart from treadmills, the company has made a huge headway in the ellipticals market. The Proform 900 Space Saver Elliptical is a popular design, because it can be folded away after the work out, thus saving loads of space. The cheapest Proform elliptical available at just $ 249 is the Proform 630 and comes with a good digital resistance control which ensures that you have a powerful workout. The 600 range also include the Proform C680.

Apart from these, the company is also trying to corner the stationary bikes market and The Proform Whirlwind cycle at $199 is a great base level bike with many features and a full 2 year parts and labor warranty.
