ProForm Perspective ES
Treadmill Review

ProForm Perspective ES Treadmill - driven by a power house 3.0HP motor, and incorporating a vivid 7" flat screen TV, this is the most advanced entertainment treadmill that ProForm has produced.

The ProForm Perspective ES Treadmill is very comfortable to run on due to the ProStride™ Impact-Reducing Cushioning, which results in less stress on ankles, knees and hips. The Perspective ES is a real winner in this area.

Take advantage of 0-10 mph QuickSpeed™ buttons, one touch Power Incline™ from 0 -12 %, and EKG Grip Pulse™ technology which allows you to stay in your target heart-rate range by glancing at the console window during your fitness workout.

Exercise and entertainment come together in the ProForm Perspective ES treadmill. Featuring a 7'' flat screen TV with built-in speakers, the Perspective ES lets you monitor your fitness workout progress via Multi-Colored Displays and watch your favorite shows at the same time!

The amazing entertainment features that are built into this treadmill also include a high quality sound system generated by the Intermix Acoustics™ unit and also an Interplay™ Music Port which gives you the ability to plug in virtually any electronic music player.

The ProForm Perspective ES Treadmill is iFIT technology compatible. The iFIT technology uses CD, video, and Internet programs to automatically control the speed, incline, or resistance of your machine, giving you a more enjoyable fitness workout.

This allows you to use videos, audio cd's, and the internet to change the way your treadmill works. You can download new performance programs off the internet, and watch footage of a run through a canyon as the treadmill changes speed and incline to the video.

It is just like having a personal fitness trainer in your living room - you can burn nearly 250 calories each time during your fitness workout.

The Perspective ES also offers ProStride™ Impact-Reducing Cushioning, EKG™ pulse sensors and QuickSpeed™ control all of which are standard.

To ease any concerns over reliability the ProForm Perspective ES Treadmill comes with a truly amazing 20 year Motor Warranty.
