Turn exercise time into play time with the ProForm 850 elliptical trainer. The 850 is equipped with ProForm's GameFit technology, which includes two interactive video games designed to liven up your exercise routine.
The trainer's console supports 2 interactive video games to keep you entertained. |
The harder you work when playing Fat Blocker or Calorie Destroyer, the easier the games become. There's no better incentive to stay fit. As an alternative, you can plug your iPod or MP3 player into the Interplay music port and play your own music through the built-in sound system. And users will love the smooth, frictionless resistance system, which allows you to adjust your workout intensity (with 10 intensity levels) without interrupting your workout.
Of course, an elliptical trainer's most important function is keeping you fit, and the 850 excels in this capacity as well. The workouts start with an easy-to-read ClearView backlit display, which offers a large viewing angle that's decipherable from almost standing position. Just as importantly, the trainer comes preloaded with 12 personal trainer workouts, giving you several ways to burn calories, lose weight, and improve your health. Add in ProForm's Light Touch interactive controls--which respond to the slightest touch and light up as they're selected--and you're ready to enjoy terrific results.
Other details include a long 18-inch stride length that provides a fuller range of motion; convenient EKG heart rate sensors built into the handlebars; and a capacity of 275 pounds. The 850 elliptical trainer carries a lifetime warranty on the frame, a 10-year warranty on the brake, and a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
About ProForm When most people hear the name ProForm, they automatically think of treadmills. That's because in its early days ProForm revolutionized the treadmill industry with its now-world-famous SpaceSaver foldaway design. ProForm continues its tradition of quality and innovation today, with cutting-edge advances in cushioning, electronics, and reliability. Fortunately, ProForm wasn't satisfied with treadmills, unveiling a complete line of exercise bikes, elliptical machines, weight benches, and more--all geared to providing the most effective workout available.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
We really enjoy the workout on this elliptical. The game feature is fun, however it does not "distract" you as much as you wish! The workouts are gym quality and you totally feel it the next day. The only complaint we have is that the heartrate monitor does not seem very accurate. I am not sure if there is a problem with the sensor or what, as this is not a show stopper for the actual workout. My goal is to do 30 mins/day and right now I am up to 25. Its very study and the stride is very smooth even though I am short and my other half very tall. We are both very glad that we purchased this model over the other ones and I can honestly say that I like working out on it.
