Proform 350 Treadmill
Review

ProForm 350 Treadmill - this is in our opinion is the best treadmill available on the market today at the sub $400 price point. Allowing for the huge choice of treadmills available in this price range that is quite a feat. Lets find out why.

To begin with we particularly like the powerful 2.25 THP Mach™ Drive Motor which allows speeds of up to 10 mph.

The ProForm 350 also features the ProSoft™ Impact Absorption system that delivers the perfect balance of comfort and joint protection.

Ok, now lets have a close look under the hood!



… the power to drive you forward!

The ProForm 350 utilizes a powerful 2.25 THP Motor. This is more powerful than many of it's competitors in this price range and delivers more than enough power to keep you in good shape.


… you have control!

The ProForm 350 comes equiped with "QuickSpeed" control. This means that you can easily jump to any speed with one touch throughout your workout. Decrease your speed immediately when you need a break, or increase it instantly for a challenging burst.


…running up those hills!

The ProForm 350 incorporates a "Power Incline" control . This feature allows you to electronically change the degree of slope up or down throughout your workout from the control panel. Simulate running uphill and add both challenge and variety to your exercise session.


… take the shock out of running

Walking and running are the most natural and enjoyable forms of exercising that you can engage in but the continual pounding can take a toll on your joints. Running on some treadmills can feel like running on concrete.

The ProSoft™ Impact Absorption system employed on the ProForm 350 reduces impact on your joints by up to 15% as compared to running on the road. With this superior absorption system, you can enjoy the perfect combination of comfort and joint protection.



… finger (thumb) on the pulse

The ProForm 350 is equiped with a "Thumb Pulse Sensor Grip". These built-in precision sensors allow you to quickly and accurately monitor your heart rate. This facility allows you to stay within your optimum training zone and ultimately to burn more fat.

… count those calories!

Many people use their treadmill in order to help them lose weight. The ProForm 350 features the "MyCalories" personal calorie center. This facility not only allows for individualized tracking, but additionally the calorie counter lets you set your weight and then calculates the calories burned during your workout.


... don't lose your cool!

The ProForm 350 comes equipped with a CoolAire™ Fan. This console mounted fan means that you can enjoy a cool refreshing breeze and stay cool and comfortable during the most vigorous workout.


… what if it breaks?

The ProForm 350 is underwritten by a 3-year warranty on the motor and 90-day parts and labor warranty.
