How long will the Proform 305CST last?
The Proform 305CST is budget-friendly and is tailored to meet the expectations and training needs of the beginning runner. It comes with ProShox cushioning that helps absorb the shocks and impacts of running and holds a max capacity of 300 lbs. Of course, if your legs are truly long the shorter running surface might trip you up a bit.
Brief Overview
Amplify your cardiovascular sessions using the ProForm Performance 305 CST Treadmill, a device that's been built to help you stay fit and healthy. Featuring iFit technology, this treadmill is equipped with 16 preprogrammed workouts that can be modified for speed and incline levels. In addition, it features iFit-certified maps from Google allowing you to wander the world in certifiable glory.
Overall Quality
You will stress less with an out-of-the-box easy assembly that will get you on your machine without wasting hours on frustrating construction. Once your workout is underway, keep track of your stats on a 5” high-contrast display. Easily control your speed and incline from your machine’s console, taking your treadmill from 0 to 10 MPH and 0 to 10 percent incline with the push of a button. Integrated cushioning absorbs the impact of your workout so that your joints don’t have to, making for a more comfortable run and a faster recovery.
Other typical features include EKG pulse grip sensors even though these can be awkward to use while running, a tablet holder, 2.5 HP motor, iPod compatible sound system – but only a 90 day parts and labor warranty.
