ProForm Treadmill Just Keeps Innovating

ProForm Treadmill has been a player in the industry for a long time. Obviously, it’s a relatively young sector and it has allowed many innovative companies to continually change and shift the landscape. The most promising update has probably been how prices have come down over the last decade or so. I remember when these running machines first came out, and you seriously had to pay an arm, a leg, and still another arm just to get one. (And they were big clunkers back then, without many of the perks that come with modern ProForm treadmills.)

For those of you who may not be familiar with this fine company, let me be the one to introduce them to you. Pro Form Treadmills is famous for being the company which introduced the SpaceSaver fold-away design way back when. This was an amazing insight that revolutionized the entire industry immediately. They were able to see that one of the major drawbacks to treadmills was that they took up so much space.

But then they went further and innovated a way to build them which enabled folding up of the running machines. I suspect they took their cues from some of those ab roller infomercials which were all about being able to hide the thing under your bed. But ProForm treadmills are way bigger than any of that yet they still accomplished their foldability

Nowadays, the ProForm has a fine portfolio of electric treadmills that it markets under the names Crosswalk, Trainer, Crosstrainer, Perspective, and of course the Audio Trainer. Let’s look at the Audio Trainer ProForm treadmill, because this one is particularly intriguing (at least to me).

The Audio Trainer ProForm Treadmill

The first thing you notice when you check this baby out is that it is everything you would ever dream up in a treadmill. It’s got a built-in iFit capability, to of course adapt your iPod into its audio system. Even more spectacular than that is the fact that it has, essentially, a built-in trainer and training course! Absurd, right? Well, it’s true. It will let you run all over it and it’ll train you how to do so at the same time. I’m just waiting for the next generation: when it comes with someone to do the running for me. This is just a small sample of the type of innovations that ProForm Treadmill puts into their super machines, but it really illustrates well why they are such a pioneer and continued leader in the field.
