Strengths:
Specialized Calorie Burning Workouts - You get 12 weight loss workouts which each allow you to set your maximum speed, minimum speed and overall workout duration.
QuietTech™ components - The 615 is specially designed to be quieter than most budget treadmills. If you want a budget treadmill that runs smoothly and quietly, you might really like this unit.
Motivational Race Track™ - This visually shows your running distance by displaying your progress on a racetrack on the console. While this is a small feature, many exercisers do like to have it.
Weaknesses:
The main weakness with this treadmill is what you don't get. Compared to other treadmills at this price point, it tends to fall short. For example, similarly priced Nordic track or even Proform units give you more in terms of workout programs, warranty length, iPod hookups etc.
Overall Conclusion:
The Proform 615 treadmill has some decent things going for it. It's affordable and quiet with some peak calorie burning workouts. Plus the XP series overall does tend to get good consumer reviews.
Overall however, it doesn't necessarily measure up in terms of value, compared to similarly priced units (see the other Proforms or Nordic Tracks).
Where To Buy At A Discount:
You can buy the Proform 615 treadmill direct from the Proform Closeout Store. You can also get free shipping and save on sales tax, which will save you some money.
