Proform Space Saver Treadmill Offers Inventive Fold-Down Design
The
Proform Space Saver Treadmill is another invention to help exercise equipment consumers concerned about their fitness see things a bit differently.
Treadmill users will literally do a 180-degree turn when they unfold the sleek,
new ProForm Space Saver Treadmill SightLine Series.
An Improved Space-Saving Feature
ProForm has made its world-famous Space Saver
treadmill feature even better by moving
the treadmill's motor to the back of the running deck, behind the user. When the
deck is folded down, the motor remains positioned against the wall while the
front of the treadmill automatically faces toward the center of the room.
Watch TV While Working Out
Virtually 100 percent of treadmill owners surveyed said they watch TV during
treadmill workouts, according to Tele-Source, an independent research group. Before
the SightLine Series, treadmill users wanting to watch TV or have a conversation
with someone in the room have had to spin their treadmill 180 degrees. Now, the
SightLine Series Proform Space Saver treadmill offers the best of both worlds. It folds up compactly
against the wall, but when unfolded, it automatically faces the center of the
room for conversation or for watching TV - users have a complete line of sight.
Proform's Reverse Fold-Down Feature
"ProForm has taken its famous Proform Space Saver design to the next level by
offering a reverse, fold-down feature. Instead of folding down the back of the
deck - users can easily fold out the front end of the deck," said Colleen
Logan, director of marketing at ICON Health & Fitness, Inc., manufacturer of
the ProForm product line. "People can face the center of the room while
they workout out on their treadmills, instead of staring at the wall."

"ProForm has always taken huge strides to be first in adding new and
better features to its treadmills," said Logan. "The Space
Saver Treadmill's reverse fold-down feature is another innovative fitness solution ProForm offers
consumers to help them fit fitness into their lives."
Expansive Treadbelt To accommodate runners' natural tendency to sway from side-to-side as they
run, the SightLine Series Proform Space Saver model has been equipped with an expansive,
20-inch wide, 50-inch long treadbelt - allowing users more freedom to move
naturally during their workout. The average home treadmill running deck is only
14 to 16 inches wide.
In another recent telephone survey conducted by Tele-Source, treadmill owners
were asked what they would change about their treadmills. A wider running
surface was number one on their wish list.
"The ProForm Space Saver treadmill features a running surface which is 57 percent
larger than the average home treadmill - even surpassing the running surface
size of club models priced for thousands more," said Logan.
Reduced Impact on Joints The ProForm SightLine gives runners just what the doctor ordered - a smooth,
quiet treadmill allowing users to walk or run in the comfort of their own home
away from outside stresses and harsh road impact. The ProForm Space Saver
treadmill features
Cushion Deck" technology - a layer of durable cushioning directly under the
treadbelt which significantly absorbs impact and reduces stress on the knees,
hip joints and ankles, allowing users to concentrate on their fitness goals.
What the Professionals Have to Say The Proform Space Saver model is the optimal indoor
exercise machine and the best for aerobic fitness, according to treadmill reviews and comparisons in the Journal of the American Medical Association
(Source: JAMA, Volume 275, May 8, 1996). It's also the most popular aerobic
exercise machine, and the only one that continues to grow in popularity every
year. In a recent study from the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA),
more people said treadmills were their favorite piece of aerobic exercise
equipment over any other kind. In 1996, consumers spent $1.4 billion on
treadmills, one third of the entire fitness market, according to SGMA.
ProForm offers consumers a complete line of innovative fitness equipment
designed to maximize time while providing optimum results. ProForm products are
manufactured in Logan, Utah by ICON Health & Fitness, Inc., the world's
largest manufacturer of fitness equipment.
