Proform Elliptical Cross Trainer

The Proform 675 elliptical trainer is a basic low priced CardioCross Trainer. It is priced at $299.00 which way under the minimum $1000.00 price we commend humans compensate for a good elliptical trainer. It does have a number of good features that include

  • Wide oversized pedals
  • A huge LCD display solace that allows you to track speed, time, distance and calories.
  • EKG grip pulse sensors for heart rate
  • Two speed fan
  • Icon’s SMR Silent Magnetic Resistance

However it has only a very short 14 inch stride length which precludes anybody with normal or longer length legs from using this elliptical trainer comfortably. We decisive to buy the Proform 675 Elliptical trainer and give it a full test. It arrived just 2 weeks after our order. However it was broken and could not be gathered to conduct our testing. We contacted client service to get a replacement. This request was refused but a technician was scheduled to fix it.

The repairman took 10 more days to arrive and without delay stated it was not repairable. After 3 more weeks we did receive a substitute 675 elliptical trainer. After setting it up our smallest tester who has in a literal sense hundreds of hours of elliptical trainer time took it for an firstborn ride. All went well for regarding 30 minutes when it started to generate substantial noise. After a great deal of tightening up the elliptical trainer the test was continued. After one hour of riding the Proform 675 our tester took a break and let our second tester take the elliptical trainer for a ride. It was without delay brought up that the display consolation was not working. Despite various attempts to get it working we concluded it was dead. Again we called client service for assistance. They were distinctly irritated with our request for a new console and a visit from the technician. They did not answer our emails and only because we had access to supervisor numbers at Icon were we capable to get the problem resolved. All this required another 12 days of delay.

The technician came and substituted the Proform 675 elliptical trainer consolation and it tested out just fine but as we were testing it, an further and added problem developed. The technician brought up that something was faulty with the magnetic resistance. After examination he stated that the SMR silent magnetic resistance unit was failing and would have to be replaced. Again we expended a good deal of time on the phone with client service since they did not answer our emails. We decisive to ask for a refund beneath the 30 refund clause. We were told that more than 30 days had elapsed since we had buy the Proform 675 elliptical trainer and we did not qualify.

In gathering background data on this unit we came all over a good number of client reviews that found the Proform 675 to be a very poor piece of fitness equipment. The total lack of any quality and the exceedingly poor client service was a mutual thread through most product reviews. We strongly commend that you do not buy the Proform 675 elliptical trainer. Again it is unwise to buy any elliptical trainer that does not have an primary cost of at least $1000.00. It is paramount that you check client reviews before you consider purchasing any elliptical trainer.
