Good cushioning, a powerful motor, bargain price, reliability, ease of use, and additional features are the main criterions one should lookout for when purchasing a treadmill. A high quality machine at the right price is often difficult to come by.
However, the ProForm Pro 2000 Treadmill weighs up well against others in its class. Treadmill Doctor tagged this treadmill as the 2013 Best Buy winner. The combination of quality, performance, and ability makes this piece worthy of a second look.

What Customers Are Saying
So far, ProForm Pro 2000 treadmill users have given plenty of positive feedback. The onboard workouts offers a variety of workout programs and combined with the iFit® Technology, users found it near impossible to run out of workout choices. Customers also found the ability to quickly adjust the speed and incline a bonus. Those who have experienced running on the ProFrom have loved how quiet and comfortable it is. They say:
“The unit is well made with quality materials. It has great features for tracking your usage and performance.”
“This is a really good quality treadmill for home use. The speakers were surprisingly good.”
“We wanted a good, reliable treadmill and this is it.”
But with every positive there is a negative; and several found this machine really heavy and slightly difficult to assemble. The iFit® Technology also requires subscription but with the 24 built-in workouts programs, not many are quick to complain about this.
Conclusion
At the end of the day, the combination of what the ProForm 2000 Treadmill offers in stability, quality, features and performance, makes this treadmill worth considering. Ranking slightly above average when compared to others in its class, its price is what makes this machine a winner. Value for money is what will bring this machine home.
