PROFORM PRO 2000 REVIEW

OUR TAKE

Is there a secret to burning more calories in less time? YES, and it’s called incline training — where you can Burn multiple times the calories when you walk or run uphill at an incline. The popular Pro 2000 supports both 12% incline and a -3% decline usually found on more expensive treadmill options. The newly redesigned Pro 2000 treadmill includes the first 30 days of iFit a $39 value. iFit provides excellent well-designed trainer-led workouts that deliver on the promise to help hit your wellness goals for fitness or weight loss and burn more calories whether running, walking, or hiking with workouts streamed to its Full HD 10-inch touchscreen. This is a highly recommended treadmill that is dependable (durable) and with iFit-connected fitness trainers and technology — extremely Motivating and engaging.

Durable feature-Packed Proform Treadmill

GREAT FOR HOME WORKOUTS

Except for the usual treadmill foot-strike on the running deck the Proform Pro 2000 runs quiet for a treadmill at home – workout most anytime. Its powerful motor and running deck were surprisingly silent throughout workouts, well suited for early or late-night routines when power walking or hiking with an iFit trainer using Bluetooth wireless headphones of course.

The Pro 2000 treadmill has balanced non-flex rollers, for smooth use – we did not find any slippage with the running deck’s belt. We also enjoyed how easy it was to fold-up and lower the running deck. A clever Space-saving design feature includes a smooth hydraulic assist that lifts, and, with a quick tap of the foot, the treadmill deck lowers itself effortlessly floor. While in its folded position the treadmill can be easily moved or is just out of the way if floorspace is an issue.

Trust Our Reviews of Fitness Equipment

Our team knows what makes good fitness equipment – indoor bikes, rowers, treadmills, ellipticals, and strength equipment. If it’s good, it’s good; if it’s bad, it’s bad, we will tell you. Over the past ten years, we have tested and published exercise equipment reviews. We get hands-on with gear and discuss overall design and function, including the feel, price, drilling down on components such as the motor, the screen display (if applicable), subscription content, adjustment features, noise levels, and durability.

Based on extensive use and testing, we discuss, summarize, and compare equipment to help you determine if it’s the right one.

When testing and evaluating the Proform Pro 2000 Treadmill, we compared it to comparable models like the NordicTrack EXP 7i and 10i, Proform 9000, and other running machines.

Powerful • Deck Cushioning • 10” FHD touchscreen • iFit enabled

HIGH QUALITY CONSTRUCTION

The Pro 2000 is a treadmill that will stand up to heavy use powered by a 3.25 CHP (continuous horsepower) commercial motor. Built to handle dedicated daily runners, power walkers, or the easy-going jogger, the motor is self-cooling for long-lasting life and durability.

Accomplish More with your Workout

Workout longer and experience a quicker recovery time. The Rebound Pro™ Cushioning absorption system on the running deck is designed to keep impact to a minimum protecting your knees, back, hips, and ankle joints so you can keep on moving. The Pro 2000 running deck is capable of up to a 12% incline perfect to add a challenge to your workout that increases intensity and calorie burn at the same time.

We found the running deck had a spacious feel and allows plenty of room as you walk, jog, and run. The 60-inch length gives you extra space to stretch out your stride. And the width allows your upper-body extra elbow room, so you don’t feel squished or constricted.

It was easy to monitor progress with the iFit stats like distance covered, speed, calorie burn, heart rate, and time all well laid-out displayed on the 10-inch full HD touchscreen.

The PRO 2000 is protected with a 10 years Frame Warranty, 2-Year Parts Warranty, and a 1-Year Labor Warranty.

AT THE END ─ Final thoughts

A Pro 2000 is a great addition to any home gym – workout anytime

─ The Proform Pro 2000 with a 10-inch full HD touchscreen is a buy. It is durable, hard-working, and has a decent 22-inch x 60" deck. With an incline up to 12%, a negative decline of -3% a feature that is usually reserved for treadmills that cost hundreds of dollars more. Using a decline works different groups of muscles so you get a better overall workout.

The 3.25 CHP motor is self-cooling and works well for daily and longer runs supporting speeds of up to 12 mph, this machine has the power and options to support most any fitness goals and for longer runs for multiple users.

We have no doubts about the performance aspect of this running machine. This is a good treadmill for anyone within a budget looking for a reliable treadmill. The first 30-days of iFit is included which is a great addition. iFit is motivating, engaging, and amps up the intensity for better training and guidance.
