ProForm 7.5 Distance Trainer Treadmill Review

ProForm 7.5 Distance Trainer

A vital component of becoming and keeping fit is setting fitness goals for yourself. The ProForm 7.5 Distance Trainer makes monitoring your progress towards those goals a lot easier with its computerized fitness logging system.

The treadmill is very comfortable to run on due to the “ProResponse” impact-reducing cushioning, which results in less stress on ankles, knees, and hips.

The treadmill features “QuickSpeed” buttons to instantly adjust speed from 0-12 mph, one-touch Power Incline from 0-12%, and a dual-grip EKG heart rate monitor 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 on this treadmill. Featuring a universal iPod connection with built-in speakers, the trainer lets you rock through any workout as you play your favorite music through 2 high-quality speakers.

The machine also offers “ProStride” impact-reducing cushioning, EKG pulse sensors, and QuickSpeed control, all of which are standard.

The product is covered by a lifetime frame and motor warranty and 2 years in-home service.

Main Features

Workout Programs: The treadmill comes pre-loaded with a total of 28 built-in fitness workouts. These showcase everything this treadmill is capable of and allow you to achieve your full fitness potential.

Incline Control: A “Power Incline” control allows the user to vary the angle of the running deck. The degree of slope can be varied up or down throughout the workout from the control panel. You can simulate running uphill and add both challenge and variety to your exercise session.

Heart Rate Monitor: The ProForm 7.5 Distance Trainer is equipped 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.
