You are free to jump on and enjoy a long walk, go for a light jog, or do some intense interval training. Pass it off to someone else in the household and let them explore what it can do as well. The Proform 980 can handle it!
What makes it so tough is the 2.25 continuous HP motor which has its own fan built in. This motor remains quiet even during more intense workouts and you never have to worry about it overheating on you.
There is another built-in fan as well, but this one is on the console and is designed to keep you from overheating. Other convenience features that make this treadmill a pleasure to workout with include a built-in speaker with mp3 player connection and 16 preprogrammed workouts.
To give a wide array of workout options, the Proform 980 CS treadmill is also equipped with iFit technology. This allows you to purchase sets of workout cards that plug directly into the machine. You then have a personal trainer encouraging you through the speaker and your machine automatically controls speed and incline to deliver a great workout.
You can also choose to walk or jog while controlling your own intensity. Speed will go up to 10 mph and incline will adjust up to 10%. There is also an intensity control button which allows you to make your workout harder or easier with the simple touch of a button.
That makes the Proform 980 incredibly simple to control if you don’t feel like trying to coordinate speed and incline to get the right intensity for your workouts.
Another great feature is the wireless heart rate monitoring. It still features the sensors built into handgrips if you want to check from time to time, but most people appreciate being able to constantly monitor their heart rate without holding onto those grips.
You get in a great workout without holding on and can adjust intensity to remain within a particular training zone if you want.
Finally, The Proform 980 CS treadmill comes equipped with a large console and high quality belt. The console displays a digital graph of your workout so you can always see what is coming up.
The belt is 20 x 55 inches, which is large enough for most people to hit full stride length when walking or running. Those who are exceptionally tall may need a longer belt to comfortably run, but for the most part users find the belt roomy enough to run naturally.
The belt is also supplied with a unique cushioning system which allows you to adjust how hard or soft the workout surface is beneath your feet. You can make it hard like the road outside, a bit softer to mimic the trails, or even softer yet for extra protection of your joints.
Users up to 325 pounds will find the Proform 980 to be a very comfortable treadmill to walk or run on. It is jam packed with comfort features to ensure your workouts are intense, effective, and challenging.
