Description

The 425 MX Treadmill boasts of a powerful 3.0 CHP Commercial Odyssey II Motor. With more power than an ordinary motor, the commercial-grade Odyssey II motor uses direct cooling, a self-cooling process that extends the motor's life and allows you to exercise for longer periods of time. The Odyssey II is also spin-balanced, making it one of our smoothest, quietest motors to date. It features 10 personal trainer workouts that automatically adjust the incline and speed of your treadmill, each focusing on an aerobic, weight loss or performance goal. It also has 2 heart rate workouts that help you stay in your target heart rate zone by increasing or lowering the speed when you need to raise or lower your heart rate. The 2 learn workouts give you the ability to create and customize a workout and then save it for future use. Other features include 0-12 mph 1-Touch Speed, 0-12% 1-Touch Incline, ClearView Backlit Display, ComforStride Impact Reducing Cushioning, SpaceSaver with EasyDrop Shock, and a Dual-Grip PowerPulse Heart Rate Monitor. It’s a heavy-duty 20†x 60†commercial treadbelt that has 2.5†precision rollers to reduce noise. It’s also has a 350 lb. weight capacity deck.

Comments
Out of all the treadmills that come with a TV integrated, the Proform Perspective ES treadmill is probably your best bet. The only other real contender in the TV treadmill space is probably the Epic View 550 which received a recommendation by Consumer Reports magazine the last time it looked at treadmills. But if you actually compare the Proform Perspective ES and the Epic View 550, you'd notice that they're practically identical. In fact, outside of the exterior logo stamping and the color change, spec for spec, they're the same. So if you're in the market for a TV treadmill, should you buy the Epic View 550 or the Proform Perspective ES? If you place your faith in the Consumer Reports magazine, then go with the Epic View 550 but for us, it's better to save the extra $50 and buy the Proform Perspective ES instead. Truth be told, a TV treadmill is not such a great deal. Even though these TV treadmills are higher in quality than our recommendations for under $1000, they're still more expensive than they should and could be. Considering how much in price standalone TVs have gone down in price in recent years, you can get one of our under a $1000 picks and get a standalone TV and you'll still have more money left than buying a Proform Perspective ES or an Epic View 550. But some folks like their treadmills right in front of them when they exercise and that's just a matter of personal taste too.
