The Proform 505 CST Treadmill is a highly advanced electronic treadmill that has a variety of options. You'd be surprised what it can do. This machine is great for people who are slightly overweight, being able to hold up to 300lbs although we do not recommend anyone over that wait to walk or run on it. This machine is incredibly stable, even if you are running at the highest speed possible.
The best part of all is that the Proform 505 will not shake like a plastic treadmill would. If you put your water bottle in the cup holder, you rarely see any vibration from running. Furthermore, it is quiet compared to other treadmills while not the most quiet on the market. Nevertheless, you will be able to hear your own music or the TV and not have to concern yourself with the noise.
One con of this treadmill is that the unit does not come with the iFit module. This will cost you another $130 to purchase. The service is free and after your trial you will pay about $7 a month or that just out to just $80 a year. You can plug in your iPod or iPhone and playback is exceptional. The only issue is that the speakers are incredibly small but what do you expect for a workout machine? Another issue with this treadmill is that the unit which holds the water bottle is shaped like a cube and not very deep. If you have a 24 oz. water bottle it may not fit correctly but still, it will never fall out. We recommend using smaller water bottles to make up for this.
The pros of this machine definitely outweigh any cons we've discussed and this is why we think it is worthwhile to purchase this fabulous exercise piece. You can easily track up to two people on the Proform 505 CST Treadmill which is far more than what any other treadmill can offer. On top of that, your progress that it records can be posted right away to Facebook. Talk about advancing in technology! It also has its own remote with many options available on it. You'll be able to keep track of all your measurements and calorie intake as well.
This is a great running machine for people who are starting to run or someone already who has started jogging not less than a month. Now, if you are anyone who has progressed to an superior runner, we recommend looking for another treadmill that will be much stronger. Otherwise, if you just want to take it slow and increase your speed each day, this will be the very best machine for you. You can take turns on different days with your partner when working with this machine and it will remember certain data from the both of you. There is no need to worry about the information getting confused either. So many people have given this running machine 4.5 star, rendering it one of the best entry level treadmills out there today.
