ProForm iLOG 750 Treadmill Review

When selling for $999, the ProForm iLOG 750 treadmill is one of the better deals at that price range. Typical of ProForm, they load up their machines with numerous options, and the 750 is no exception.

Here are some of the features you get…

Powerful 3.5 continuous duty HP motor - To be honest, this motor is probably overkill for this range of treadmill. This is the size motor you would use in a treadmill built for serious runners. Since the rest of the treadmill is engineered towards walkers or joggers, ProForm could have gotten by with a 2.5 HP motor. Regardless, at 3.5 HP you are getting a motor that will run effortlessly at high speeds and steep inclines. It comes with a lifetime warranty.

Note: As of 7/22/08 the ProForm iLOG 750 was selling for $1,399 with shipping. It has sold for hundreds less in the past. Go to www.ProForm.com for the latest prices.

iFit Fitness Journal - The company that builds ProForm also builds NordicTrack, Epic and Reebok treadmills. The one thing you can say about all these brands, for the price, you are getting some innovative features. The Fitness Journal is an example. Through your treadmill you are able to monitor your progress over various periods of time. The iLOG 750 generates daily, weekly, monthly and yearly workout totals for up to two individual users.

Progress is what you fitness goals should be all about. Once you plateau, you cease to make progress. Meaning you are not losing any more weight or getting fitter. By tracking your progress, you can push yourself to new levels and reach new goals.

Speaker System with iPod Docking - In general music can motivate you to workout harder unless you are listening to Brahms. You can plug in your iPod into the console and output to the built-in speakers.

Workout Programs - You get a combination of 8 training programs and 10 customizable programs. These programs give a variety of challenges and help to break up the monotony of walking or jogging in place.

Our Review - ProForm iLOG 750

As mentioned, when selling a $999, with shipping, this treadmill is a decent value. However, I need to add a couple of footnotes. Although you are getting a monster of a motor, I would suggest this treadmill is geared for walkers and moderate joggers. This ranks at the upper range of a budget machine and by no means is commercial grade. Regarding the weight limit, I would put it somewhere at the 230 lb. range.

This web site only mentions the lifetime warranty on the motor. If it comes with a 90-day parts and labor warranty, you definitely want to upgrade. Even if it comes with 1-year parts and labor, I would go for the 2-year coverage.
