The Proform 840 Treadmill - Exercising Your Options

The Proform 840 treadmill combines economy with a stronger design and full features, yet the Pro Form 840 sells for less than $1000, sometimes much less when purchased online. Proform, part of Icon Health and Fitness, Inc. since 1994, is the largest manufacturer of quality treadmills worldwide for training, weight loss, and personal health.

A stronger model in this class of exercise machine, Proform 840 treadmills support a weight up to 300 pounds with a double-sided cushioned track and a 2.0 HP motor.

Works With You But Folds Away Between Uses

The Proform 840 sports a running surface of 55 inches by 19 inches, suitable for larger users with longer strides

The cushioned track and strong motor can handle more intense training of up to 10 MPH with less fatigue and more consistent speed under heavier weight.

Like other Pro-form models, the Proform 840 features;

•  motorized incline,
•  detailed feedback on speed, distance, time, calories burned, fat calories burned, and pulse
•  all with stylish readouts,
•  a variety of preprogrammed workouts,
•  and a cooling fan.

 Convenience features include a cup holder and magazine rack, and the 840 folds away after training,

 although at a weight of 190 pounds, storing the treadmill might be easiest with assistance.

The warranty on the Pro-Form 840 is 12 years for the motor, an eye-catching feature, but only 90 days on parts and labor.

Though the warranty is a concern, most reviews rate the Pro Form 840 average in performance and features and above average in running surface,

but discounts at many online dealers make the 840 model a far-better-than-average purchase for those who need a stronger machine.
