OK, now lets have a look under the hood!




… the power to drive you forward!

The ProForm 9.0 Competitor utilizes a powerful 2.5 HP motor. With more power than a regular drive system, the Commercial Grade Mach Z Motor allows you to exercise for longer periods of time while maintaining smooth, consistent operation.




… more room to run

The ProForm 9.0 Competitor incorporates a 20" wide running belt. Other treadmills in this price range usually have narrower belts - you will appreciate the advantages of this larger running space when you come to use the treadmill.




… 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 ProTech 5 adjustable cushioning system employed on the ProForm 9.0 Competitor allows you to adjust the amount of cushioning to your own preference.




… you have control!

The 9.0 Competitor comes equipped 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.




...programmed for success!

The key to staying motivated when using a treadmill and achieving your fitness goals is having a variety of preset programs. The Pro Form 9.0 Competitor scores here with a total of 20 built-in personal trainer workouts.

These programs automatically change the speed and incline of the treadmill throughout the workout and center around either performance, aerobic or weight loss goals. These showcase everything this treadmill is capable of and allow you achieve your full fitness potential.

Additionally there are a total of 4 "Create & Save" workouts-which allow you to design customized workouts and save them for future use.




...check your metrics!

The ProForm 9.0 Competitor is equipped with a Grafixx™ display which shows your workout data clearly in a bold and easy to read format. You can display distance, elapsed time, and calories burned in numbers almost 1" high.

It will also display your heart rate or show an animated figure which walks, jogs or runs with you! The display also tracks your speed, time, distance, pace, pulse and calories burned. Additionally all calendar and statistical information provided by the iFIT Fitness Journal can be shown.




…running up those hills!

The ProForm 9.0 Competitor incorporates a "Quick Incline" control . This feature allows you to electronically change the degree of slope up or down with a single touch of a button instead having to scroll through options. Simulate running uphill and add both challenge and variety to your exercise session.




… finger on the pulse!

The ProForm 9.0 Competitor is equiped with a Dual-Grip EKG Heart Rate Monitor. The built-in precision sensors allow you to quickly and accurately monitor your heart rate. Simply grip the built-in sensors to obtain an instaneous reading of your heart rate - stay within your optimum training zone and burn more fat.




... hit the deck running!

An often underestimated component of an exercise treadmill is the deck. The design and quality of material the deck is made from can radically alter the performance of the treadmill.

With a 300 lb. weight-capacity the ProForm has the strength and durability you should expect from a mid range treadmill. Built to support the toughest of workouts, this robust deck is built to last.





... and so to bed!

If you are concerned that you haven't enough room to store a treadmill the ProForm 9.0 Competitor addresses this problem with it's "Space saver" technology. This facility allows you to fold the treadmill into an upright position after your workout where it will then occupy a lot smaller floor area.
