ProForm Power 995i Review – Insiders Look

You can simulate real world conditions with the Digital QuickSpeed Control, which features incline options from 0-12% and speed options from 0-12 MPH.

When you choose to participate in iFit workouts, your machine will adjust speed and incline automatically to simulate real world conditions and challenges presented by personal trainers. The iFit ability also automatically tracks your workouts so you stay accountable to your fitness goals.

This machine does not have a tv, so some of the iFit perks will only be accessible from your Android or iOs tablet. When you’re off the treadmill, you can take your workout even further with access to the iFit community, featuring thousands of workouts and challenges designed by top-notch fitness professionals.

With an iFit subscription, you will have access to a variety of workouts, meal plans, daily challenges and personalized coaching to use with and without your treadmill.

You can access your iFit membership on your tablet, mobile device, or desktop to track your stats and performance from anywhere.

With off-the-treadmill training plans included in your iFit subscription, you will be able to cross-train, which is a proven method of improving your running performance and preventing injury:

The Benefits of Cross-Training for Runners

The iFit features on this machine will require an initial setup, and although your first year of the iFit subscription is free, it may require a credit card to be activated. You will need a wireless network connection to use this feature on your machine.

If iFit is the feature of this machine that you are most excited about, you may want to consider an iFit enabled machine instead. Here is a link to the ProForm SMART Performance 400i and ProForm SMART Performance 800i. 

Both machines have color touch screen monitors that will help you make the most of the iFit membership. You can get to know some of the iFit trainers by watching any of these videos:

Comfort Features:

Cushioning on your treadmill is designed to reduce shock and absorb impact, thereby reducing injury and increasing comfort.

Whether you are walking, jogging, or running, the ProShox Cushioning on the ProForm Power 995i helps to reduce stress to your lower extremities, including feet, ankles, knees, and hips. 

These comfort features outperform in many cases the Sole F63, which is a popular comparable treadmill. 

According to livestrong.com, running on a treadmill can equate to a 50% reduction in stress fractures and other injuries, when compared to running on the road:
