Proform 505 CST Treadmill Review - Read this honest review about the Proform 505 CST Treadmill.

1. Proform 505 CST Treadmill Review
Proform 505 CST Treadmill - We've had it for about 72 hours now. We didn't buy it from
Amazon, but paid a similar price. We splurged and had someone deliver and assemble it.
Considering the man does it all day, every day....and it still took him over two hours to
complete assembly, I'd say it was money well spent!

We are NOT runners by nature, so take this review for what it's worth, as my opinion is
going to vary from people who are already capable of running marathons.
We are overweight, but not obese, this machine is supposed to be able to handle up to
300lbs, but neither of us approach the limit.
That said, this machine is very stable, even when I'm not exactly the most graceful of
people jogging on it. The water in my water bottle doesn't even twitch. It's not whisper
quiet, but you can hear your music or the TV over it well enough, at a slightly elevated
volume.
Some Proform 505 CST Treadmill Features
This Proform 505 CST Treadmill unit DOES NOT include the iFit module, which is,
currently, another $120-$130 to buy - the service/website is then free for the first year and
then $80/year after that.
We went out and bought that today. We're still putzing around with settings, but you can

2. configure it to update onto Facebook and it tracks all of your workouts.
You can have two different users on a module, so my wife and I will be tracked separately.
You can track your calorie intake and burn, with commonly eaten food calorie counts
available right on the website and the option to input calories on a freeform basis.
There are spots to keep track of your measurements, etc. As you can see, it's a pretty nifty
option...that DOESN'T come standard with the unit and, honestly, was one of the main
reasons we bought this machine, thinking it did.
There is an iPod jack and wire that jacks into the headphone jack of your iPod. Playback is
ok on the treadmill speakers. It's a little tinny, but...yeah, it's a treadmill not a stereo
component. It beats having the earbuds in, at any rate.
Some Proform 505 CST Treadmill Cons
The one thing that I really don't like about this unit is the very oddly shaped, cubish, fairly
shallow cubbies for water/remotes/whatever.
I have a 24oz waterbottle and it just doesn't sit in there right. I was worried it would fall out
with the vibration but, as I mentioned earlier, the water doesn't even move at a slow jog.
(I haven't gotten up any higher than a slow jog just yet...) and the cable remote also sits
strangely in the other cubbie.
I would have preferred a dedicated, obvious drink holder. As for the remote, I think I'm
going to get a bit of adhesive backed hook and loop fastener to solve that problem.
The 10% incline and the max speed on this unit more than serves the need of two fairly
sedentary people just getting back into being active.
If you're already all big and bad and buff, you're probably going to want to keep looking for
something else that's designed for your needs. All in all the Proform 505 CST Treadmill is a
really good entry level machine.
