ProForm® 595 pi treadmill Review

ProForm 595 Pi treadmills are great for people who love to jog or walk. They are economical and built for low intensity workouts. If you are looking for an affordable starter treadmill, look no further- the ProForm 595 Pi treadmill is perfect. It is manufactured and marketed by Icon Health and Fitness Company, the market leader and reliable supplier. It features a sturdy 2.5 THP Mach drive motor that works quietly and efficiently, to handle the toughest work out. The maximum weight is 275 lb. The warranty is 90 days on parts and labor and an amazing 5 years on the motor, which is higher compared to ProForm’s other model, the ProForm 350 treadmill.

A large sized 18 x 52 inch tread belt will accommodate the widest stride and makes the deck really roomy. The deck has Prosoft impact absorption cushioning system that softens impact on joints and feet by about 15 percent.

The machine has a 4 window 6x 6 LED matrix console that shows time, speed, distance, incline, and calories burnt and a pulse reading. It has EKG grip bar sensors that take heart rate reading. It has a Race Track monitor to keep track of the progress of the workout.

The ProForm 595 pi treadmill has 4 built in programs. You may be able to custom make your programs, use the manual setting or pick 1 or 2 trainer programs. Another attractive feature is the Quick controls. The Quick Speed button allows you to alter speed from 0 to 10 mph without missing a step. The Quick incline button will adjust incline from 2.0 percent to10 percent.10 mph is a good speed unless you are a professional marathon runner.

The design of the ProForm 595 Pi treadmill is also attractive and ergonomic. It has loop shaped handles that are sturdy for use by elderly. If a person loses balance he has something to hold on to. There is also a key clip which is a safety feature-.A cord from the machine is attached to your fingers or your clothes and when it is pulled the machine stops.

The CoolAire fan keeps you cool during a grueling workout with gusts of cool breeze of 3-4 mph. The best feature maybe the Space saver design that allows you to pack away the machine without cluttering your room.

Compare to the similar priced ProForm 350 treadmill, the ProForm 595 Pi treadmill is a heavier machine, has a better warranty, can handle more weight, has better handles and a track to monitor your work out. But critics have labeled the 595 PI as an ‘elegant clothes hanger’ at the most. ProForm models are criticized as lacking in cushioning system, motor power, stability and short warranties. Yet it is the most budget friendly machine packed with maximum features.
