Proform 495 pi Treadmill Alternatives
Icon Fitness came out with the Proform 495 pi Treadmill some time ago and it has since been discontinued. Whilke it was around, it covered the budget end of the tradmill spectrum, offering a low cost exercise machine that boasted ProForm’s patented space-saving design, four large LCD displays, a 0 to 10 percent power incline, and and an 18-by-45-inch non-slip tread belt.
It featured a ProTech impact absorption system that reduced joint impact by up to 15 percent compared to road running, along with a fan that’s built right into the console. Other features included an EKG heart rate monitor, convenient beverage or key holders, a handy foldable design, and an 18-by-45-inch non-slip tread belt.
The Proform 495 pi Treadmill was a decent entry level treadmill in its time, but that time has definitely passed. It was good for walking only, as the belt was not the strongest, and would let down (literally) larger folks who decided to venture out a bit and start running. There may still still be some available here and there, almost always used models. You can do much better than this these days, and get a much better treadmill for about the same money.
My suggestion is to look at the ProForm 675 Crosstrainer Treadmill
