ProForm PRO 2000 Treadmill

This model is part of ProForm’s new PRO range of treadmills. The ProForm PRO 2000 is a space saver (folding) model and is driven by a powerful 3.5 CHP Mach Z Commercial Pro Motor.

This iFit Coach Ready treadmill automatically adjusts the incline to recreate trails, from all around the globe. Customize your training regime with workouts designed by certified personal trainers. It should be noted that a subscription to this service is required.

… speed adjustment

The treadmill comes equipped with “QuickSpeed” control. This means that you can easily jump to any speed within the range 0 – 12 MPH with one touch at any time during your workout. You can decrease your speed immediately when you are tired and need a break, or increase it instantly for a challenging burst.
… incline AND decline

In addition to the 15 % of positive inclination that can be adjusted by a simple “Quick control” system the deck is also able to decline to – 3 %.

This feature is usually only found on more expensive treadmills and has the benefit of activating different muscles by walking at a decline. This is claimed to burn more calories than walking on a flat surface and stimulate more muscle for faster results.

… audio auxillary port

The treadmill features an auxilliary audio port. You can now enjoy your workout while you play your favorite music through the built-in dual speakers.

The built-in dual Bluetooth speakers let you hear your music or videos wirelessly with even less complication.

Simply plug in, press play and listen to your favorite music while you exercise.

… workout cooling fan

A “CoolAire” workout fan is built into the console. It has two speed settings so that you can regulate the air stream to your preference.

This console mounted fan will help you to stay cool and comfortable during your workout.

… safety key

A safety key and lanyard is provided with the treadmill. In order for the treadmill to be operational the key must be present in the control console. This means that with the key withdrawn the treadmill cannot be operated by unauthorized users such as small children.

The safety key has a lanyard with a small plastic clip attached to one end which can be clipped onto the users clothing. If the user were to accidentally trip or fall while on the treadmill the key is pulled away from the console causing the treadmill’s walking belt to slow to a stop.

... fold and store

This is a “space saver” model which means that when not in use the treadmill can be folded into a near upright position where it will then occupy a lot smaller floor area.

The folding mechanism also incorporates an “easy lift” system which uses a hydraulic shock that slowly lowers the deck into place ready for use or assists in raising it to it’s stored position.

With the deck raised into its upright “stored” position the deck automatically locks into place.
