The ProForm Perspective ES treadmill is really one of the best deals available right now. ProForm has currently dropped the price on this unit by 50% to a very palatable $1,149.00. And for the amount of features included on this treadmill, that’s a bargain.

The marquee feature on the ProForm Perspective ES is a built-in, 7″ flat screen television. This handy little addition is compatible with all cable systems, satellite television providers, DVD players and VCR’s. It’s a really convenient feature if your treadmill doesn’t reside near a regular television. Plus, when not in TV mode, the display shows stats related to your workout intensity.

Sound is provided through the ProForm Intermix Accoustics system which is touted as being “theater quality sound.” That’s a pretty big stretch in our opinion, but for speakers on a treadmill the sound is pretty good.

As you can see it’s easy to get sidetracked by all the gadgets and gizmos the ProForm Perspective ES has to offer. But don’t forget the real reason you’re looking for a treadmill…you actually have to run on the thing. Not to worry though, the ProForm Perspective ES performs well in the nuts and bolts department also.

This unit is powered by a 3.0 Mach Z™ Commercial-Drive Motor which turns the belt with ample power for walking, jogging and light running. There’s also a 0-12% Quick-Incline feature that operates smoothly at the touch of a button. Cushioning comes courtesy of the ProStride™ Impact-Reducing Cushioning system. This is a joint-protection system that cushions the entire length of the treadbelt to accomodate walkers and runners with various stride lengths.

The warranty on the ProForm Perspective ES isn’t earth shattering, but it’s ample coverage for a machine in this price range. You’ll get 20 year coverage on the motor, with 1 year protection on parts and labor.

TTR Recommendation

Overall, we give the ProForm Perspective ES a great rating. It’s a solid treadmill with an outstanding array of creature comforts—all at a very reasonable price of $1,149.00. If you’re a serious runner, we’d probably steer you to a higher end model, but for beginning users or those looking for a light to medium workout, this unit definitely fits the bill.
