ProForm Carbon T7 Smart Treadmill – Review

There is a lot of tech infused gym equipment in the market and everyone wants to give it a try, especially where cardio machines and interactive programming are concerned. The problem is most treadmills that offer fun workout classes and a touchscreen are extremely pricey. This is where the ProForm Carbon T7 treadmill can be a good choice because it is not too expensive and gives you a touchscreen and other technology at a decent price.

The Workout Experience

You can enjoy a smooth running experience on the ProForm Carbon T7, but do not expect anything exceptional. The belt measures 55-inches in length and 20-inches in width, which is suitable for most people, but some tall runners may find it difficult to use. The cushioning is undoubtedly excellent, as it is the ‘ISO Flex Cushioning’, which absorbs shock and is easy on your joints.

The machine has a weight capacity of 300 pounds, but it gets shaky even at lesser weights because it does not come with floor stabilizers. But, the machine does offer you some appealing extras. There are two deep water bottle holders, two speakers and Bluetooth connectivity. The dashboard offers you jump buttons for speed and incline.

Technology

The ProForm Carbon T7 comes with a 7-inch screen, which is just above the jump buttons for speed and incline. This is quite small for a touchscreen, but considering the price tag, it is to be expected. You also get a one-month free trial of iFIT and the treadmill workouts it offers are certainly interesting and fun. It gives you access to the typical cardio exercises, which include treadmill runs/walks, rowing and elliptical classes. There are other additions like yoga, strength training and pilates, which makes the app your personal trainer.

Footprint and Portability

In terms of footprint, you will find that the ProForm Carbon T7 is average. Since it comes with wheels, moving it is not that difficult, but it is still heavy at 223 pounds. It also comes with a folding mechanism that can help you save space. Gas shock is included, which allows you to unfold the machine without endangering yourself, or anyone else. Not many budget treadmills come with gas shock. Its relative foldability and portability comes as a plus for those who are tight on space.

Warranty

When it comes to warranty, the ProForm Carbon T7 offers you a 10 year warranty for the frame, while the warranty for parts and labor is for one year. Registering on the ProForm website within 30 days of receiving the treadmill will extend the warranty by three months.

Final Verdict

If you are looking for a treadmill that can offer you value for money, the ProForm Carbon T7 is the perfect choice because it offers you decent features for a good price.
