ProForm 790T Treadmill Review

The ProForm 790T treadmill has some decent features and is worth considering when priced aggressively.

Being part of the largest fitness equipment company in the world, ProForm can offer more for less. In general, their sale items will out spec the competition. That doesn't mean they are always better quality treadmill, but often they are.

Note: As of 7/29/10 the ProForm 790T treadmill was selling for $1,299 with shipping. Worth Considerably less. Go to www.ProFormTreadmill.com for the latest price.*

ProForm 790T Treadmill Features...

iFit —The iFit® Technology is the features that makes this treadmill stand out from others in its price category.  With iFit technology, you can purchase iFit workout cards, which guide you through eight weeks of exercise sessions.  These workouts cards are like having your own personal trainer to push you and keep you motivated to reach your fitness and/or weight-loss goals. The cards control the speed and incline of your workout and are progressive. They also include audio coaching. Several of the card series are designed by Jillian Michaels of Biggest Loser fame.

2.5 Continuous Duty Motor — They claim the motor on the ProForm 790T treadmill is commercial grade, but that is pushing it. However, this motor is sufficient for both walking and jogging.  It comes with a lifetime warranty, which means it is built to last.

Our Review — ProForm 790T Treadmill

When selling for $800 or less the ProForm 790T is a consideration. This is not a heavy duty treadmill, but adequate for walkers and light joggers. I would not recommend it for extremely overweight individuals. They place the weight capacity at 325 lbs. I would max suggest around 240 lbs.

If you are looking for motivation with your cardio machine, the iFit Technology and the 16 workout programs can give you plenty of challenges.

Compare the 790T to comparable ProForm and NordicTrack treadmills. Both are built by the same company, and usually you will find one model in this price range that has the best features for a bargain price.
