A Review Of The ProForm 650 T SpaceSaver Elliptical

This elliptical is ideal for people living in not-so-roomy apartments, as the ProForm 650 T SpaceSaver Elliptical's wheels can easily be folded and the unit rolled away into a closet or corner when not in use. Its revolutionary 1-Step SpaceSaver mechanism saves you almost 3 feet of floor space.

Aside from this feature, its stride length can also be changed from 13" to 15" to 18", allowing users of both genders to optimize their use of the ProForm 650 T SpaceSaver Elliptical. This is ideal for households where there are many different users, as they can adjust the machine to their individual needs.

This elliptical has several interactive programs - 10 in all, from which you can select the one that's most appropriate for your fitness goal. These programs have all been designed by certified personal trainers who have studied the best combinations of workouts to meet your every need. The system automatically adjusts the machine's elliptical to zero in on weight loss, performance, or aerobic objectives.

You can plug your iPod directly into the unit to play your favorite music while exercising. It's even compatible with some other brands of MP3 players.

The ProForm 650 T SpaceSaver Elliptical features the Silent Magnetic Resistance technology Proform is known for. This gives you a smooth and comfortable motion during your workout as it does away with the jerky motions that are the sources of impact-related injuries.

The upper-body arms of the ProForm 650 T SpaceSaver Elliptical provide an impressive total body workout as you get more cardio benefits, such as muscle tone improvement and greater calorie-burning.

There's also a CoolAire Workout fan with two speeds, built right into the console. This keeps your upper body cool even during intensive workouts. The display's extra-wide viewing angle provides you with a clear view of all the data you need at your fingertips, and it's backlit so you'll see everything clearly even in dimly lit rooms or garages.

The incline adjustment of the ProForm 650 T SpaceSaver Elliptical is fixed, and its maximum weight capacity is pegged at 275 pounds, although some say it could take on more than that. In any case, it has a mere 90-day warranty on parts and labor, so there's really no point in testing how far it would go.

To extend its warranty, expect to be set back by anywhere between $60-$100. The brakes are motorized and not as sturdy as one would expect from an elliptical costing $600. With hard and crude movements, the ProForm 650 T SpaceSaver Elliptical can hardly hold its own as it tends to be wobbly and unstable.

Considering its space-saving feature and capacity to effectively give you both cardio and resistance workouts, the ProForm 650 T SpaceSaver Elliptical may be a good buy especially if you don't need complicated features or too many preset programs.

If you think that the ProForm 650 T SpaceSaver Elliptical is right for you, don't forget to try it out first at the store to get a feel of how it performs. You can also surf the Internet for bargains as there may be some units on sale during particular times of the year.
