Conclusions

We always love to find nice training features on the treadmills we review. This time ProForm surprised us with the Competition Training center. You can race against several virtual competitors that try to beat you before the finish line or while you are running on a hill.

Another good thing is the long belt (60 inches) that allows taller person to train in proper conditions.

We also like the life warranty and we appreciate the fact that they give a 2 year warranty for parts and one year for the belt (ProForm usually gives 90 days warranty for parts so this is a big thing for them). That means they don’t expect any problems with the treadmill for at least 2-3 years which is a very good sign.

Also we think that this treadmill would be a much better machine if it had a stronger motor. Right now it’s powered by a 2.5 CHP motor which is a good enough for most users but it will not work for heavy runners.

Overall the ProForm 9.0 Competitor Treadmill is the best economy machine built by ProForm and we highly recommend it.
