Proform 995sel Treadmill - Barbells And All

The Proform 995sel treadmill is a nicely packaged treadmill intended for cardiovascular and aerobic training with the added touch of including two-pound barbells for upper body conditioning.

Proform 995sel treadmills sell for less than $1000 but are equipped with features that will aid anyone focusing on training in their 'zone' and working on fitness through weight loss programs.

Though a bit beefier, the Pro-Form 995sel is similar in features to the Proform 542e, which includes a Carb-Counter for those who are adhering to a low-carb diet.

Plenty Of Room To Stretch Out

Proform is a subsidiary brand of Icon Health and Fitness, largest sports equipment manufacturer in the world, and dominates the economy class of treadmills and other fitness equipment.

Most Proform models are full-featured and well-designed but incorporate inexpensive parts that affect reliability.

The 995sel is a current model for Proform but also an old standby, which bodes well for interested buyers.

It features a Custom™ Cushioning treadbelt of 20 x 55 inches, though with only a 1.75 CHP motor, its weight capacity will be lower. Still, it is capable of speeds up to 10 MPH and has Power Incline™ to 10%.

Proform pioneered fold-away treadmills with the Space Saver design, and the 995SEL includes that feature.

Like most Pro Form treadmills, the 995SEL has plenty of frills for readouts, feedback, programmed workouts, and controls, and, as already mentioned, it even includes 2 lb. hand weights for upper body fitness training and a free '8 Weeks To A Better Body' program.

The 995SEL includes 8 preset workouts and the interactive iFIT® workouts available on many Icon sports machines are an option. EKG™ Grip Pulse Sensors are standard, and with the optional chest strap, workouts can be programmed in response to heart rate.

For most of us, Proform presents an image of good value that is often rated a 'Best Buy'.
