Use Proform Elliptical Trainers For Low Intensity Workouts Only
These machines are not built very well, but there are many people who are satisfied with their Proform machine. They do just fine if you are not a serious or regular user. But for high intensity use and high goals, you should look for another brand.
Warranty is another big drawback to all Proform fitness equipment on the market, since you will be covered for first 90 days only. If you do decide on an elliptical trainer from this brand you should certainly invest in the extended warranty. There are many customer who complain that once the warranty is over, it is very hard to get some help from the company when machine gets broken.
Good looks of all Proform ellipticals hide their quality and faults they have to the consumer. For instance the Proform elliptical 800 comes with six programs,and a fan to cool you off while you workout. There is an option of downloading some more exercising programs via Internet. The handlebars move to work your upper body and the unit has a heart rate monitor.
Icon Fitness is the manufacturer of these machines. There are several other brands Icon makes elliptical trainers for. It’s bad to hear that these elliptical trainers had problems when tested in the lab, even on the first use. One of the machines had to be repaired, and the other actually required a brand new part. The lab also found the Proform elliptical to be somewhat noisy when being used.
Famous elliptical trainers from this brands are Proform 675, Proform 400 elliptical and Proform 900. These units are used at home since they have very low price and people think they will save money by doing that. Too many users complain about malfunctions that are impossible to fix and parts that break all the time. In case you heard some of these 3 models; 675, 400 and 900 are good, just forget about it.
It is important that when shopping for an elliptical you make sure to try it out in the store before you make a final decision.
