Proform Elliptical Trainers – Excellent Value for Under $1000

Proform Elliptical Reviews

Proform elliptical trainers are a division of ICON Fitness, backed by ICON’s considerable resources. The Proform line fills an otherwise relatively empty field in the fitness industry. There are a lot of high-end elliptical machines and a lot of budget models, but the $500-$900 price range is pretty sparse for some reason. Proform recognized this and has strived to fill this niche with an impressive assortment of elliptical machines for those who don’t want to break the $1,000 mark, but are willing to pay a bit more for some extra features. You could say these are for exercise beginners with a few extra bucks.

Impressive Features

Another reason to like ProForm elliptical trainers is the many different models currently offered. This includes elliptical machines that fold up for storage, one with a CD sound system, one with a built in gaming system to entertain you if you are easily bored with exercising and even one that is combined with a resistance weight training system in one machine. Almost no other manufacturer offers such a wide variety, let alone in this price range.

High-End Perks at a Reasonable Price

Trainers usually recommend Proform elliptical trainers for people who are looking for a good mid-priced machine that comes with a few of the extras usually reserved for higher priced versions.

Proform can offer these extras because the cost of research and development is spread out at ICON over several different brand names, and Proform benefits from the trickle-down effect from the top lines. Trainers compare Proform elliptical machines to lower priced ones and find that Proform models consistently out-perform them and have innovative features that are rare in machines under $1,000.

Excellent Value for Your Money

The average buyer recognizes Proform elliptical trainers as an excellent value for the money. You may want to buy one of these if you’ve been disappointed with a budget elliptical machine that didn’t hold up well over the long haul, especially when you simply aren’t able or willing to spend thousands of dollars on a machine at the high end of the scale – and that’s a lot of the buying public. The only down side that is mentioned frequently is that the overall design doesn’t seem to accommodate you if you are over six feet tall; it still functions well, but the comfort level is somewhat compromised because the design seems to cater to shorter individuals.
