Proform Smart Pro 5000 Treadmill Review 2024

How long will the Proform Smart Pro 5000 last?

The Proform's Pro 5000 is one of the company's better treadmills. The accessory bar provides more support for this sturdy machine, and it also has some added elements to help improve durability. Heavy joggers or light-moderate runners are likely to see a long life out of their machines with this treadmill; however, we do like adding that proper upkeep does make all the difference in how well your fitness equipment performs over time. Taking minor steps, like unplugging your machine when not in use and setting up a regular maintenance schedule will go a long way in helping it last.

With a large number of workout programs and sturdy build, this treadmill takes its place as an in-between model between 2000 series and 9000 series. However, the knocked down price tag has found this treadmill in a new category altogether!

Conclusion

With a similar price and an almost identical designs, we recommend considering alternatives offered by other manufacturers such as NordicTrack. The two companies have the same parent company which means you should expect lots of overlap between their products when it comes to specs and features. We do believe this machine was built to last and is a great option for many users. With proper care, this treadmill should hold up for a heavy jogger to the light-moderate runner trying to get their “K” on.
