ProForm iSeries 800 Elliptical Rated “Good Buy”
You’ll like the look of the ProForm iSeries 800 elliptical
trainer with its attractive boxy cover over the front flywheel mechanism.
The profile reminds you of a more expensive club models costing thousands more.
Play Video Games While Exercising
Aside from the cool look of the ProForm iSeries 800, the selling point or
marketing
angle if you will on this elliptical trainer is the interactive video game
console. ProForm elliptical reviewers and users like to joke that they would
prefer a joystick in their hands to play WarCraft but, alas, it’s not that type
of video game. Instead, you will find a couple of games named Fat Blocker™ and
Calorie Destroyer™. There are two controller buttons located at the top of the
handles to control the games.

In Calorie Destroyer™, you’re challenged to pedal faster to
make the on-screen man able to avoid the incoming strikes aimed at him. You
won’t be able to play if you don’t workout; the video man will not move if the
RPMs fall under 30.
Great Features and Improved Warranty
As for regular programs, the ProForm iSeries 800 elliptical trainer has 12
personal workouts from weight loss to aerobic and performance zones. The Heart
Rate Monitor has sensors built right into the handlebars to alert you when your
intensity level lags. Other features include a big 18" stride length, and a 275
pound user weight capacity. The warranty has been improved by Proform: it offers
lifetime coverage on the frame, 10 years on the brake, and one year on parts and
labor.
The iSeries 800 elliptical trainer also offers a larger display than you’ll see
on other budget ProForm models so you’ll be able to easily see the read-outs no
matter how tall or short you are. The ClearView Displays shows your time, speed,
distance, pulse, resistance, RPM, calories burned and carbs burned.
Our Verdict
The model has large, roomy footpads, a stable feel with no rocking motion, a
comfortable elliptical stride motion, and low noise levels. All of these
features combined make the ProForm iSeries 800 elliptical one of the better
choices in its price range. For a good quality machine that offers a lot of
value, and an MSRP of $1199 (closeout priced at $599), this model rates as a
good buy.
