In-Depth ProForm 780 CrossWalk Treadmill Review

December 11, 2010
By Steven J. Bancroft

ProForm fitness equipment maker is innovative with its ProForm CrossWalk series. The ProForm 780 CrossWalk Treadmill is the premium treadmill / elliptical hybrid fitness equipment machine enabling you to work out your upper and lower body.

Features of the ProForm 780 CrossWalk Treadmill

Movable Arms

Picture an elliptical trainer crossed with a treadmill and you get the ProForm 780 CrossWalk treadmill. On the sides of the running deck are handles you can move that also offer resistance so you get both an upper and lower body workout.

Running Deck Size

With innovative design you pay the price in deck size. It’s only 55 inches long (60 inches is preferable). However, it is a standard 20 inches wide. This running deck size will accommodate most runners and walkers.

That said, if you’re a pure runner, this treadmill is not the best option for you. The movable arms are better for walking (in my view).

Range of Speed

You can walk very slow from.5 mph or run up to 10 mph. This treadmill is best designed for walkers and power walkers. It’s easier when walking to use the movable handle-bars.

Incline Options

This treadmill offers 15 incline levels. This is ideal for walking for your workouts so you can increase the intensity of your workout. The moving handles add another dynamic to replicate hiking – it’s the perfect hiker’s treadmill.

Easy Storing with Folding Technology

Even with handlebars, you can fold the ProForm CrossWalk 780 treadmill for easy storing. A folding treadmill is a very nice feature, even if you don’t need it now, you might need it in the future if you move or use your treadmill in a place you don’t wish to be permanently located.

Monitor your Heart Rate

Plenty of workouts are based on heart rate. You can monitor your heart rate with heart rate sensors on the movable handles. Normally, I’m not a fan of a grip sensor heart rate system; however, given you’ll likely workout holding onto the handles, it’s not inconvenient to maintain a grip while working out.

Pre-Programmed Workouts

If you prefer to be guided through a workout regimen, you get this as well with this treadmill. The ProForm 780 CrossWalk comes with 15 built-in workout programs. This is plenty of variety to help you achieve your fitness goals.

If you like the idea of an elliptical trainer because you like working out both your upper and lower body, but also wish to also run or walk, then the ProForm 780 CrossWalk treadmill could be the perfect fitness equipment machine for you start building your home gym.
