The Proform XT 90 Treadmill Specifications

This Proform treadmill is powered by a 2.0 CHP Mach Z Motor. While it is not the most powerful motor found in Proform treadmills, or in competitor's models, the motor does has a self cooling system that extends is lifetime and is powerful enough for its purpose. Speeds between 1 and 10 miles per hour can be changed as simple as a press of a button with QuickSpeed features located conveniently on the console. The construction is designed for two different incline levels at 10 and 20 percent for increased resistance. While this feature is appealing to users who want to increase stamina and the amount of calories burned per session, the incline levels must be changed manually which is seen as a negative among experts.

Another physical feature is the adjustable shock cylinders which can be changed from the press of a knob from the least firm to the most firm setting. This is an attractive feature as it allows users to customize their absorbency based on their weight or the level in which they are exercising. Referred to as ProShox technology, this feature is trademarked specifically by Proform. The treadbelt measures 18-inches by 55-inches and can hold a maximum weight of 325-pounds which makes it a feasible option for almost anyone.

The Proform includes 24 preset workouts which are categorized into walk, jog, and run types. Within each preprogrammed workout, the speed of the treadmill will be automatically controlled. The console display will monitor the duration of your workout along with the distance, feet climbed, speed, pace and calories burned. While it does not have a heart rate monitor, it does offer iFit compatibility and an MP3 audio system for added entertainment. Wrapping up the features with an important safety key for automatic shut off, the Proform XT 90 has a plethora of features.

The Final Decision

While this Proform treadmill is versatile and has a variety of different features, where there is good there is always bad to follow. The treadmill is heavy, difficult to transport, and has no real space-saving folding features. Another negative feature is the manual incline settings that must be changed by the users. While the 24 programmed workouts are appreciated, heart rate monitors are an important feature that has been overlooked. Proform, even with a high rating for quality products, has failed to think of practicality over unnecessary features with the Proform XT 90 Treadmill regardless of its track record.
