Proform 400 Reviewed
People who use this elliptical say that it satisfy the basic needs only. There are no serious exercisers who bought Proform 400. only those individuals who wanted to lose some weight and keep themselves in motion. And it is understandable that they are the buyers of this treadmill model, since it does not offer much more then a light workout.
We know that fitness equipment from Proform doesn’t have admirable qualities. This brand is part of the Icon, together with Weslo, Ironman and NordicTrack. These are all making low level machines that are not able to endure for a long time. I know this may sound cruel or too harsh, but you can check this by yourself. There are many website that are based on elliptical and treadmill reviews and you can check stores such as Amazon.com and Epinions.com. You will find plenty of reviews and ratings that do not have good words for Proform 400 elliptical trainer. The interesting thing is, most people think that they bought a lemon and will get a better model when the customer service replaces it. But they end up with another Proform 400 that they have troubles with. Parts will malfunction again and repairmen will come to their home to try and fix the machine. This is one of the reasons people leave their elliptical machine as a clothes hanger.
Proform 400 has the capability to offer walking and jogging only. There are few basic features that will keep your exercising routines interesting, like programs and hand weights. The machine can endure 300lbs of weight, which is something a bit unusual when you look at the whole picture. And with a warranty of 90 days only, I am not sure will it really stand the weight in the long run.
All in all, this is a basic level elliptical trainer that will satisfy only those people who want to walk and keep themselves active. If you need anything more serious, like regular jogging sessions, Proform 400 is not for you and you should find a better quality elliptical machine.
That’s a great review and highlights the importance of making sure you know what you want and how your machine is to be used before you make the purchase. As a personal trainer I know that some people could benefit from a machine such as this instead of the more durable machines that are used for intense workouts. Ellipticals are very effective to help you lose weight and stay in shape when used properly.

Elliptical Machines are a really great way to stay in shape. They are just as effective a treadmill but you don’t have to worry about the painful impact on your joints.
