OK, now lets have a look under the hood!




… the power to drive you forward!

The ProForm Crosswalk 500 utilizes a powerful 2.75 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.




… 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 ProFlex™ Impact-Reducing Cushioning absorption system employed on the ProForm Crosswalk 500 reduces impact on your joints by up to 22% as compared to running on the road. With this superior absorption system, you can enjoy the perfect combination of comfort and joint protection.




… you have control!

The ProForm Crosswalk 500 comes equiped with QuickSpeed™ Control. This facility allows you to 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.

...get ready to lose some weight!

The ProForm 500 has been designed to help you lose weight, while strengthening your entire body. With the built-in CrossWalk Upper-Body Arms, 6 Cross Training Workouts and 4 weight-loss workouts, you can burn calories, while sculpting your arms, shoulders and back.




…running up those hills!

The ProForm CrossWalk 500 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.




...your own personal trainer!

The built in Interactive Audio CrossTrainer - lets you achieve great results by instructing you when to perform a variety of strength-training exercises throughout your cardio workout, allowing you to burn calories while building and maintaining muscle mass




… finger on the pulse!

The ProForm Crosswalk 500 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 quickly and accurately monitor 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 350 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.
