ProForm 7.5 Distance Runner Treadmill Review

For the money, the ProForm 7.5 Distance Trainer Treadmill is a good value, particularly when it is selling for $799, with shipping. However, I have one issue with the name "Distance Trainer. "This a budget treadmill, and is not designed for distance training or marathon training.

However, if you are looking for a walking or a light jogging treadmill, this machine is worth considering.

ProForm has had a problem with buyers expecting more out of their treadmill than they can delivery, resulting in dissatisfied customers. That is why you will find with my reviews that I try to manage your expectations.

So, this is what you can expect from the ProForm 7.5 Distance Trainer. It is a budget treadmill, which is designed for walking and light jogging, and the user weight limit should be set about 235 lbs. If you plan to jog regularly and/or have multiple users, you should be looking at a $1,000+ treadmill.
