Proform Hybrid Trainer Elliptical Review

How long will the Proform Hybrid Trainer last?

The Proform Hybrid Trainer weighs a light 116 lbs. when fully assembled and is marketed to hold users up to a 350 lb. capacity. Proform covers the Hybrid Trainer with a 5-year frame warranty and a short 90 days on parts and labor which is low no matter the price range. It is tailored towards injured, beginner, or older users who need the use of a recumbent seat but want to be able to access light elliptical training during workout sessions. In addition, the Hybrid Trainer will last for at least a couple of years of workout delight with proper care and maintenance.

Brief Overview

The Proform Hybrid Trainer is our 2022 1st place Best Buy Award Winner for the $400 - $699 price range and is a lightweight combination elliptical and recumbent fitness machine. Designed for a multitude of users, the Hybrid Trainer targets building fitness health during workout sessions and is easy to move for optimal space saving abilities despite the 5.8-foot-long frame. It also comes with a 30-day free iFit membership which opens the door to interactive workouts and trekking through exotic locations.

Overall Quality

The Proform Hybrid Trainer offers comfort from the soft grip handles, through the mesh-covered seat back, all the way to the oversized pedals that are easily adjusted to switch between uses on the integrated design. It is engineered to appeal to a multitude of users though those of the taller persuasion will not fit too well with the 15” stride length. There are multiple resistance levels for intensified training and 14 built in fitness programs for those not utilizing the iFit membership features. A rectangular console holds a simple LCD screen that displays a few points of workout stats and holds dual 2” speakers for those wanting to play their favorite tunes. There is also an integrated tablet holder for convenient placement of streaming devices provided by users.
