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

The Ideal Elliptical: Precor EFX 5.23 or Life Fitness X9i?
I have searched for the perfect elliptical trainer for about 3 months. I sampled machines from Sears, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Sam’s Club, Costco, Fitness Resource and Leisure Fitness. I also researched and evaluated many websites related to elliptical trainers. I would like to share some of my findings in the hope that it might make someone else’s search easier.
My Goal: The Landice treadmill that I have used over the past 2 years began to take a toll on my ankles and I decided that I wanted to get an elliptical trainer that would provide a low impact cardiovascular workout.

Landice has over 20,000 treadmills placed in health clubs and fitness centers around the world.

Perhaps because the holidays will soon be upon us or perhaps it is just the simple factor of cost but I have been inundated with requests to review machines by ProForm, a company owned by ICON. It is hard to keep up with the changing numbers on the models so I hope my reviews will help you decipher some differences For the purpose of making my reviews a bit easier to follow I will at times compare machines. I will be comparing the ProForm 840 treadmill to the ProForm CS17e. For starters the 840 is a couple of hundred dollars less coming in at around $850. Please note that due to the nature of the reviews some information will be overlapping.
