ProForm Power 1295i Review
Quick Introduction
The ProForm Power 1295i is an impressive all-around treadmill offered by a brand with over 30 years of history as a top provider for in-home fitness equipment. It is one of our favorite treadmill options when it’s on offer (which is quite often)!
The ProForm 1295i was built for all sorts of workout activity from long light walks to high-speed runs. More intense workouts are possible with the 3.5 CHP Mach Z (™) Commercial motor. It keeps the treadmill running quietly and smoothing while also not overheating.
Concerned about a comfortable running experience? Impact to your joints and knees? Be a bit less concerned as the ProForm 1295i’s running deck is extra wide at 20 by 60 inches. This gives even larger folk enough length on the deck to not feel like they’re going to fall off, and enough width to give you adequate elbow room. The roomy running deck is also equipped with ProShox(™) cushioning which absorbs shocks and lessens impact to your joints.
The technology on the ProForm 1295i is also ace. A 7-inch web-enabled HD touchscreen display is where it starts. Use it to keep track of your workout stats but also watch workout videos and visit your favorite websites and blogs. Want to kick it up a notch? The ProForm 1295i comes with iFit, a fitness app (requiring a monthly subscription). The app offers a library of ever growing workout videos and experiences created and led by certified personal trainers. The app integrates with the HD screen and the treadmill incline/decline settings. How exactly? Imagine being immersed as a participant in the Patagonian International Marathon where the incline/decline settings auto adjust based on the actual route! Impressive, no?
