ProForm exercise treadmills compete well against the other marques, because they serve their purpose so well. It is a low priced treadmill that performs exeptionally well.

While it can't compete with the "big boys", for consumers on a budget, Proform is a safe bet. It should be remembered that if it wasn't for Icon there would be very few exercise treadmills under $1000.

The reason no other fitness equioment companies strongly compete in this category is that making a truly hard core, long lasting, abuse eating exercise treadmill for less than $1000 is difficult.

ProForm have one of the most comprehensive range of exercise treadmills on the market. You could argue it's too comprehensive - almost overwhelming.

The majority of their treadmills span from very low cost, entry-level models up to treadmills you would class in the mid price range. Typically that equates to a price range of $400 to $1300.

If you consider yourself a more serious fitness enthusiast , a seasoned runner or expect your treadmill to receive heavy usage, avoid the lowest priced Proform treadmills.

One of the problems you will encounter with lower priced exercise treadmills is the short warranty. Most treadmills in this price category are covered for 90 days and Proform treadmills are no different. Of course it only becomes a problem should your machine break down in the first few years.

To be fair though, you do get what you pay for and some Proform treadmills offer quite good value for money with features not found on most budget machines of the same price. Some of these branded features sound very similar and can make comparisions confusing, so here's a quick summary:

ProTech Cushioning: basic fixed cushioning that helps protect your joints from unnecessary stress and injury.

ProShox Cushioning: works using a pressure-responsive air shock beneath the center of the treadmill deck. When you step down, the shock's air chamber compresses, helping to reduce impact.

ProTech Custom Cushioning: With the Custom Cushioning System, you can manually adjust the deck for the best feel.

EKG2 Grip Pulse: helps you exercise in your target heart rate zone for maximum fitness efficiency. Simply grip the built in heart rate sensors for quick pulse data.

If you're a fan of heart rate monitors then go for the optional chest strap for more accurate readings.

iFIT: provides additional interactive exercise workouts that can be run from videos, CDs and downloaded from the Internet.
