You will be able to find a lot of people who like their elliptical trainers from this brand, but the fact is, they are not of good quality. These machines are good enough for ocasional exercises. But for high intensity use and high goals, you should look for another brand.

Since you can get only 90 days labor and parts warranty, it is clear that this is just another big disadvantage of a Proform crosswalk trainers. If you do decide on an elliptical trainer from this brand you should certainly invest in the extended warranty. Some people have also complained that after the warranty has run out it’s been difficult to get the company interested in your problems with the machine.

Good looks of all Proform ellipticals hide their quality and faults they have to the consumer. For instance the Proform elliptical 800 comes with six programs,and a fan to cool you off while you workout. New exercising programs can be downloaded from the net with these machines. The handlebars move to work your upper body and the unit has a heart rate monitor.

These elliptical machines are made by Icon Fitness. There are several other brands Icon makes elliptical trainers for. It’s bad to hear that these elliptical trainers had problems when tested in the lab, even on the first use. One of the machines had to be repaired, and the other actually required a brand new part. And another problem is the noise, these trainers failed that test in the lab too.

Some models you probably heard of are: Proform 900, Proform 675 and Proform 400. These units are used at home since they have very low price and people think they will save money by doing that. There are many complaints on malfunctions that can not be repaired and parts that keep breaking often. If you though about buying 900, 400 or 675, you should think twice.

It is important that when shopping for an elliptical you make sure to try it out in the store before you make a final decision.
