Note: This picture is of the 400 X not the 400 GL.
When I first went to review the 400 GL Treadmill by ProForm I wasn’t going to compare it to another machine. I then thought about it and realized that people might wonder what differences there are between the 400 GL and ProForm’s CX18i. At $800 the ProForm 400 GL Treadmill is on the higher end of ProForm’s treadmills and is only $100 less than the CX18i. So let’s take a look at which one I like better and why.
The 400 GL Treadmill:

Many people are e-mailing me requests to review fitness equipment. One of the reasons is that there are so many choices; the prices are not all that different; and people don’t know how to decide. I am reviewing ProForm’s CX18i Treadmill. I like the ProForm 840 a lot. The CX18i which sells for around $700 is less money than the 840. People have told me they like when I compare products. I will only compare two at a time since I think it is very confusing to compare more than two in one review. Since I like the 840 but it is a bit more expensive than the CX18i it is the 840 I will compare to the CX18i and we’ll see my rating.

The Landice aluminum frame,with up to a 400-pound capacity is the strongest in the industry Landice use a 3 horsepower continuous-duty drive motor. Made in the USA, this motor can continuously deliver 3 HP without overheating. Landice treadmills feature the " Softer than Grass" VFX shock absorption system. Landice large diameter rollers require less tension than smaller rollers since they have more surface area to grab the belt The Landice high-inertia cast flywheel not only provides for a smooth feel, it also protects the motor and electronics from damaging foot-plant spikes that reduce life.
ProForm’s 525 X Treadmill is the first treadmill I have reviewed that comes with dumbbells. This machine retails for $700 but if you look around you can find it for as low as $500. Please note: ProForm makes many versions of the 525 X including the ProForm CrossWalk Advanced 525x. The latter is a very different model with moving arms and iFit technology.
About the 525 X:
The 525 X is a space saving model meaning it folds. To fold the machine I pulled a pin out and the machine folded quite easily for a treadmill.

ProForm’s 350 Treadmill is at the lowest end in terms of the company’s treadmills. At $400 it may be hard to believe you can buy a decent but very, very simple treadmill.

There are several important features about a treadmill that I will start off with.
