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



… the power to drive you forward!

The ProForm Perspective 1.0 LX TV utilizes a powerful 2.25 Continuous 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.

This powerful commercial motor employs an internal fan which helps reduce noise as it cools internal components and extends the motor's life. The unit has ample power to keep you in good shape.


… 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 ProShox™ Cushioning impact absorption system employed on the ProForm Perspective 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.

... let us entertain you!

The 1.0 LX features an inbuilt, cable ready, interactive, 7" flat screen TV mounted within the control console. The screen will display all of the fitness data from your workout or with a push of a button you can clear the screen and watch the news or catch up with your favorite soap!

… you have control!

The Perspective 1.0 LX 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.


...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 Perspective 1.0 LX scores here with a total of 12 built-in Workouts.

Eight of the programs are designed for cardio health and weight loss, whilst two programs keep you in your target heart rate and two more programs are customizable to fit your individual personal goals.


…running up those hills!

The ProForm Perspective 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.


… finger on the pulse!

The ProForm Perspective is equiped with a EKG Grip Pulse™ technology. 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 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.


... don't lose your cool!

The Perspective 1.0 LX 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.


... and so to bed!

If you are concerned that you haven't enough room to store a treadmill the Perspective 1.0 LX addresses this problem with it's space saving, "Air LIft" 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. The mechanism is assisted by a pair of powerful air-shoks so that you can fold the machine up with minimum effort.
