Design and features
The ProForm Pro 4500 treadmill has a powerful 3.8 CHP Drive motor that runs quietly. It’s spin-balanced and powers the running surface with continuous energy for smooth workouts. Able to support up to 375 pounds of user weight and with the running surface of 20×60 inches, it’s large enough for everyone’s needs. It uses the high-end FS2 Full Surface Suspension cushioning system that delivers an impressive joint protection and makes running safer.
Even though its frame is smaller than in some other models, it’s still very robust and resistant, so that even the heavier users can use it without any worry. The folding mechanism allows you to lift the deck with an easy push, so that you can easier store the treadmill in an upright position when not using it.
The running surface of the ProForm Pro 4500 treadmill can be used both in incline and decline position for working different muscle groups. Thanks to the suspension cushioning mechanism, the surface absorbs shocks and impact with every step, regardless of the chosen program and speed. The machine allows you to incline the surface with up to 15% and offers up to -3% decline control as well.
You can change speed using the QuickSpeed Control system, which allows you to change the intensity of your exercises quick and easy, in order to stimulate more muscles for faster results. The maximum running speed is 12 mph, which is enough for powerful interval trainings. Through these settings, the ProForm Pro 4500 treadmill allows you to stay in shape and burn calories with ease.
Another feature of the ProForm Pro 4500 treadmill is the Auto-Breeze workout fan that keeps you cool while working out. It also has quality made rear roller that will enable you to run thousands of miles on your treadmill. This will increase the durability of the treadmill, which is very important.
The ProForm Pro 4500 has a built-in dual-grip EKG heart rate monitor and the wireless Polar chest strap. That will help you to monitor your pulse during the workouts to prevent accidents and to maximize your trainings. The handgrip sensors are conveniently placed in the handlebars, so you can monitor your heart rate while maintaining a comfortable and safe position on the running surface.
Other features of the ProForm Pro 4500 treadmill include a compatible port for an iPod, as well as the Intermix Acoustics 3.0 Sound System that allows you to play your favorite tracks while running.
My favorite feature of this treadmill is built-in beautiful and responsive iFit Tablet with a 10 inches touch screen browser powered by Android. That will enable you to watch some workouts, to read e-mails or check the news while doing your cardio training. That’s especially handy if you’re doing some walking sessions.
Versatility of use
The integrated iFit technology allows you to change the incline, decline and speed, to check the number of burned calories, the time spent on the machine, the traveled distance and the pulse. Moreover, you will be able to access to all these information with the touch of a finger. Also, you can watch your progress through Google Maps, choosing specific races, and you can follow a Certified Personal Trainer by watching the HD video workouts that come with the machine.

- I saw some complaints about customer service and technical support, which is provided by ICON Health & Fitness Service. I’m not sure what to think about it, as ICON is the name behind some of the most popular brands for the fitness equipment on the market. However, I had to mention that, everything else is up to you.
