ProForm put the XT 90 Treadmill model for sale in the middle of January. It was offered at $900. When this review is published the treadmill is listed at $1,500 on their website.

ProForm is a good brand. The XT 90 2010 model especially is dedicated to those interested in losing weight (a goal most people set up at the beginning of each year).

It comes with an interesting 20% incline feature with the purpose of allowing to lose weight at a faster and more efficient pace.

But, is it really worth spending $1,500 on this machine? Or this treadmill is in fact only a $900 model?

Each of the 2 Shock Cylinders this treadmill has comes with a knob.

Both cylinders must have the same level. Keep in mind that the faster you run on the treadmill or the more you weigh, the firmer the shock cylinders should be.

When you run, set the firmness level to at least 16. If the shock cylinders make noise as you run, just increase the firmness level.

This feature is possible through ProShox Technology that comes with 24 intensity positions.
