Where to buy the Proform Pro 16.9
How long will the Proform Pro 16.9 last?
Constructed from solid steel, the Proform SMART PRO 16.9 Elliptical weighs over 250 lbs. and holds a maximum capacity of a hearty 325 lbs. It is built to last with moderate to heavy use and will last for years with proper care and maintenance. Proform covers the SMART PRO 16.9 with a 10-year frame warranty, 2 years on parts, and 1 year on labor which is decent in today’s market considering some models have little to no warranty coverage at all.

Overall Quality
The Proform SMART PRO 16.9 Elliptical has a 20” adjustable stride length making it optimal for those of both the shorter and taller persuasion. It has a hefty 32 lb. flywheel offering smooth, frictionless transitions between 26 levels of resistance that intensify training and tone mushy muscles. Deeper training is achieved through a 20-degree incline that targets alternative muscle groups during exercise sessions.
