basic treadmill comparison
comparison of the proform 930i and the proform 350
Even though the ProForm 930i and the ProForm 350 are manufactured by the same company, their functions are designed for different physical fitness goals. This report compares the different features of both as they apply to the fitness goals of the consumer who purchases them. The treadmill market is very competitive, and you will find that most manufacturers cover all the bases so to speak in regards to fitness goals, price range, durability, warranty, and extra features such as heart-rate monitors and calorie-counters. I chose two products from the same manufacturer to illustrate this point. I’ll begin with the 930i which is geared more towards someone who is already in good physical shape and either wants to maintain that shape or improve it even more shape.
The ProForm 930i treadmill is an upper mid-range treadmill that averages around $899. It comes standard with these features:
- One-button speed control
- 0-12 mph quickspeed
- 2 hp commercial grade motor
- Quiet 20”x50” treadbelt
- Workout fan
- EKG sensors.
As stated above, the 930i is targeted more for people who are already in good shape and want to maintain that. It comes with an exercise program and has a 3-year warranty on the motor and a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.
The ProForm 350 is a mid-range treadmill that sells for around $499. It comes standard with these features:
- LCD Display
- Calorie Counter
- 2.25 hp motor
- Book and cup holders
- 17”x50” Deck size
- Workout fan
- 250 lbs. User capacity
- Interactive weight input
- Pro-soft cushion deck
The ProForm 350 comes with a 3-year warranty on the motor and a 90-day warranty on parts and labor. Notice that the ProForm 350 includes an interactive weight input and 250 lbs user capacity. This is to accommodate people that are on a diet and exercise regimen to try to lose weight or improve their cardio-vascular health. The ProForm 350 also has a top speed of 10 mph, so it is geared more for someone who is trying to burn calories.
These two treadmills have all the features needed to reach any physical fitness goal you may set for yourself.
