Popular Proform Ellipticals, but a question about quality


Proform Ellipticals are some of the most popular available in the budget and the under $1000 section of the market today. Pro Form ellipticals are just one of many elliptical brands that belong to ICON Health and Fitness. ICON also own and manufacture NordicTrack, HealthRider and Weslo crosstrainers as well as licensing the popular Reebok gliders.

I mention all this up front just to highlight one major reservation I have with Proform ellipticals before we have a look at what they have to offer.

If you checkout the Reebok(part of the ICON group, remember) fitness site there is a web page that lists a few features to consider when buying an elliptical. One is that you can judge the quality of a crosstrainer by the length of the warranty offered, a year being pretty standard in the under $1000 market.

How long is the Proform elliptical warranty? 90 days.

So, bearing in mind that quality is questionable what makes Proform elliptical's so popular.

 

 

A hugh range of Proform Elliptical models

Last time I counted there was 9 different Proform elliptical trainer available ranging from the budget 650 CardioCross at less than $300 to the top of the range 1280s Interactive Trainer at just under $1000.

The basic Proform 650 features integrated handles for an upper body workout, magnetic resistance for quite operation, patented Reflex Step rails for a smoother stride, pulse grip handle bars and a LCD feedback console.

As you move up through the model range features are added at a cost of approximately $50 to a $100 a jump. So, for the ProForm 800 Elliptical as well as the features found in the 650 you will in addition get

By the time you are nearing the top of the range with the 1080s you have as many features as you will find in some club ellipticals
