How long will the Proform Hybrid Trainer XT last?

The Proform Hybrid Trainer XT weighs over 100 lbs. when fully assembled and holds users up to a claimed 350 lb. maximum capacity. Beginning to light use is best for the XT and it should last at least a couple of years with proper care and maintenance. iFit has seen fit to cover the XT with a 5-year frame warranty and 90 days on parts and labor.

Brief Overview

The Proform Hybrid Trainer XT is a perfect combination for those with limited living space or want the convenience of a 2-in-1 workout machine in a residential setting. It is budget-friendly and allows consumers to choose between comfortably reclining or standing during exercise sessions. The XT is iFit enabled, meaning users with a paid subscription enjoy elite trainer workouts and treks or rides through beautiful locations around the world.

Overall Quality

The Proform Hybrid Trainer XT easily transitions between recumbent bike and elliptical trainer for a serious total body workout in comfortable surroundings. The padded, adjustable seat showcases a mesh back design allowing air flow while riding whereas the pedals flip up for easily cycling during workout sessions. A quick twist of a knob lowers the top part of the frame carrying the console and stationary handlebars for optimal viewing and capturing pulse while riding. Simply raising the top part allows users to stand upright and benefit from the elliptical motion and moving handlebars for a total body workout experience. The XT has a 13 lb. flywheel that assists with smooth transitions between the 16 digital resistance levels. There is a 15” stride length that is perfect for those of the shorter persuasion to reap the most benefits from the elliptical motion. An easy-to-read LCD screen dominates the simple console and provides pertinent workout stats and holds 8 elliptical and 8 bike programs to assist users in the search for better health. A rather large tablet holder looms over the back of the console for those supplying streaming devices for workout fun.

Conclusion

The Proform Hybrid Trainer XT is a budget-friendly choice for those looking to benefit from both riding and trekking their way to a better level of fitness health. On the other hand, we like to remind consumers that fitness machines in this price range are not built to last no matter the warranty coverage.
