Proform C525 Treadmill - ReviewThe Proform C525 treadmill is one of the best value treadmills on the market. Many fitness experts will say that any treadmill that is under a $1,000 is likely to be poor quality. That's simply not true. This machine will prove to be popular among many people looking for a budget price fitness machine.
The Proform C525 treadmill is built around a 1.75 horse power motor. Sure, this is far from the most powerful unit on the market, but for walkers, joggers and intermediate users it will be just fine. The running deck is 19" x 50" which is ample room to provide a comfortable workout. The deck itself is cushioned which is less stressful on the joints of the legs and spine. This is one of the main advantages of running on a treadmill compared to the road. There is a Coolaire fan built into the console. These used to be found only on expensive highend treadmills but they are now available even on budget priced units such as this Proform. There is the choice of 8 pre-programmed workouts that will help you reach your fitness goals. These include weightloss, aerobics and performance programs. If you want a more demanding workout you have the option to use the incline feature that will allow you experience the effect of running uphill. This will also use slightly different muscles, so it is useful for overall fitness levels and adding variety to your fitness regime. To make things easy there is a quick select option on the console that allows you to quickly control the speed and incline of the machine. The Proform C525 treadmill has an inbuilt heart rate monitor, that allows you to keep track of your workout and ensure that you are in the 'optimum training zone'. The treadmill has a handy fold up styling that saves space in your home. This is achieved by simply lifting the running deck. Features 1.75 hp motor Summary The Proform C525 treadmill is an ideal entry-level machine. Don't expect it to stand up to constant punishment if you are training to run a marathon. But for walkers and jogging enthusiasts it will be a suitable machine. More information on the range of Proform treadmills can be found here. Back to the home page of My Treadmill |
