ProForm 725EX

Pros: Adjustable speed and incline levels; many different programs to reduce boredom.
Cons: Motor is rather loud at higher speeds; may not be the best choice for runners.

A few years ago before I became pregnant with my 16 month old son, I was an avid fitness walker and was in the best shape of my life. Every morning after taking my older children to school, I’d hit the pavement with my walking shoes on and my ...

Pros: Price, Cushioned Platform for lower impact. Comfort.
Cons: Low(er) end of the market may not last forever.

Ten days ago we purchased the PRO-FORM 740CS treadmill from Sears. The end of November I had reconstructive surgery on both of my hips.

Following eight weeks of physical therapy at home my surgeon gave me instructions to...

Pros: walks smoothly, consistant calorie counting features, folds up for storage
Cons: Expensive

I have owned my proform treadmill for 4 years now. Its seen some long and laborious miles. I love its features and also love the fact that I can walk in any weather, anytime I'd like. I think this product is well made, and here are my reasons why I...

Pros: Great display, neat heart monitor
Cons: Less steady than higher quality machines

When looking at treadmills, you really do get what you pay for. Though I really like the display and controls of this treadmill, that's about all it has going for it.

The running deck is not nearly as sturdy as on the more pricey models. The...

Pros: good price, good features, tough, easy, shows calories and fat calories
Cons: the pulse buttons don't work that great, belt slides a little

I managed to find the Proform treadmill at Sears for a really great sale price and no interest for one year. I was going to buy one anyway but the good price made me do it about three months earlier. My biggest reason for wanting a treadmill was...

Pros: Durable
Cons: Size

The Pro Form 725 EX Treadmill is a great piece of equipment for those looking for a challenging workout. This piece of equipment is perfect for a great aerobic workout. It has numerous features so the whole family can use it, from grandmother to a...

Pros: Motivational electronics, large walking surface
Cons: 90 day warranty, noisy

A walk in the rain may sound romantic to some, but if you're not into liquid sunshine, a treadmill is the perfect answer for getting your exercise. I bought this treadmill the first of the year - Sears had it $100 off the regular price, but I find this...

Pros: ease of use, power incline, many displays
Cons: awkward pulse sensor grips

After watching MTV Spring Break in April of 1999, I was depressed. All those coeds running around in bikinis made me realize how much I needed to get back in shape. I was only 25, after all. I had really slipped. Because I didn't want to rely on the...

Pros: Great unit, easy storage, durable, sturdy construction, multiple speeds, inclines
Cons: None Come to Mind

PLEASE NOTE: This review is of the Pro-Line 390 PI. Since there is no listing for this treadmill, I am placing it here, under another Pro-Line treadmill.

Exercise is one of those things in life we all know we need to do, but don’t...

Pros: Instant speed select. Long Belt. iFit.
Cons: Unstable frame. Cheap materials. "peak horse power" motor. Not programmable.

The Proform 725ex treadmill illustrates why the low end treadmill market offers so little value. If you have read any of my other treadmill reviews, then you already know that one company (ICON Fitness) makes most of the low end treadmills (Proform,...

Pros: Minimal cost, fun, durable
Cons: Little bulky and heavy

I haven't read much about this particular model. I think it must be an upgrade on the ProForm 725. I purchased it at Sears for $600 on sale. The regular price is around $800. I have only owned it for two weeks, but so far, I think it is terrific.
...

Pros: Reasonable price, reliable, foldup feature
Cons: fairly loud, heart-rate monitor is lame

I don't actually have the 725ex. I have the 730Si which, I imagine, was replaced by this model. I paid $700 for it at Sears about 4 and a half years ago. My model has an 18" X 55" belt with a 2.5 hp motor so I believe it is roughly the same. I thought it...

Pros: Good for beginners.
Cons: Doesn't hold up very well.

I purchased this treadmill when I first started working out seriously. At the time I was a walker, and I loved the machine. It shows calories burned, fat calories burned, distance, speed. It has a 2.5 HP motor, and I like the power, it doesn't...

Pros: folds up and moves easily
Cons: I hate the safety clip

My fiance and I decided to purchase this treadmill to get in shape for our upcoming wedding. I am definitely NOT a gym person (I just feel way too self-conscious) and he doesn't have time to go the gym (since he's going to school full-time and working...

Pros: Folds up, Quiet, Price, Ease of Use
Cons: None Yet

I've been wanting a treadmill forever !! Well, ok, not quite forever, but for a long time.

I wanted one at a reasonable price (not necessarily "club" quality).
I also wanted something that folds up for more compact storage when not in...
