Good points

• Above average belt, motor and weight capacity for the price it sells at
• iFit Live compatible (including the module would probably be pushing it at $799)

Bad points

• Nothing particularly spectacular about this treadmill that will separate it from its competitor at the $799 to $999 price range

Comments

• The Proform 705 CST is nearly identical to the Proform Performance 600. By identical, I really mean 95% the same. The main thing that's different is the console display. Though the keys, speakers, etc are basically in the same position, the display is a little different with a background blue lit LCD display. It also doesn't support Nikeplus but not sure how many users make use of it anyways so it's not a major loss. Everything else that's good and bad of the Performance 600 applies to the 705 CST. It has a fair number of programs, it has a sub par warranty, the belt and motor combination seems solid, it's foldable, it has a heart rate grip monitor but not a wireless heart rate monitor. Overall, pretty good value for money at $799, but nothing overwhelmingly positive.

Does everyone in family prefers running to workout? The ProForm 705 CST has a sturdy frame built to last heavy use and equipped with 2.5 CHP Mach Z™ Motor to ensure noiseless operation even when used continuously.

Anyone who enjoys to jog along the incline and decline of the neighborhood streets can easily set incline adjustments by just touching the buttons displaying the different options provided by the 0–12% Quick Incline®.

Everyone loves music and the ProForm 705 CST provides two built-in sound systems that let you listen to your MP3 Player or iPod® plugged into Interplay® Music Port or enjoy favorite media through Intermix Acoustics™ 2.0 EQ Sound System.
