Price Reduction – ProForm 11.5 Competitor Treadmill

ProForm, which is owned by Icon Fitness, changes prices regularly.  Occasionally you can get some real bargains.  This also applies to their other popular brands, like Nordictrack, Reebok and Epic. 

 I monitor treadmill prices regularly for a number of brands, and will alert readers of this blog when I feel a special deal warrants it.

Checking out the ProForm treadmill site, I noticed they are offering the ProForm 11.5 Competitor treadmill for $999, with shipping (As of 2/18/08).  What makes this treadmill appealing is the 3.0 continuous duty motor and the 60" long treadbelt.  Usually you will find a treadmill with those options costing in excess of $1,500. 

The 3.0 hp motor is powerful enough for sustained usuage and will not strain at higher speeds or steep inclines.  The 60" deck is suited for taller individuals and interval training.  You won't feel like you are falling off the end.

What I am not crazy about on this model is the console.  The display is rather basic, but what do you expect for $999.

I would recommend this treadmill for walking and jogging.  If you are a serious runner you will want to upgrade.  Go to the ProForm 11.5 Competitor Treadmill Review for more details.
