Massive LCD

We like all elliptical machines that come with massive LCD displays. In a nutshell, they make exercising better.

A large display will help you keep your eyes on the burned calories, covered distance, covered terrain, the program you are on and so much more. As such, we can assume that the LCD display is one of the main elements you need to take into consideration.

The weight load of the ProForm elliptical trainer is 250 pounds which is standard for most elliptical machines.

At this point, we should add that the tested model also comes with 5 year warranty on the frame. The warranty on the other parts is 90 days, which we wish could be longer.
