Strengths:
iFIT® Challenge Training Center - This is one of the most unique features about the Proform 765. It has a built-in fitness assessment, which gives you month-long training programs - including weight-loss workouts, cross-training workouts and 3 separate meal plans (1400, 1800, 2200 calories).
Plus you also get 24 Crosstraining workouts and 9 Personal Trainer-designed workouts which will keep pushing you to the next level. Overall, there's a lot to do with this treadmill if you're looking for a fitness challenge.
Roomy 20 x 55" Belt - This is a decent sized belt for a treadmill at this price point. Many economy treadmill belts are around 18" x 52" so it's great to have some room to move.
Decent Motor Warranty - Although there are better motor warranties out there, for this price point, 20 years is quite good and much better than the older Proform motor warranties.
Adjustable Cushioning Reduces Impact On Your Joints - Cushioning is important as poor cushioning can damage your back, hips, knees and ankles. The ProTech 3 cushioning system on this treadmill reduces impact on your joints up to 33%, as compared to road running.
Adjustable cushioning is also a nice feature for multiple treadmill users as some people prefer a softer feeling deck and others prefer a harder surface.
Weaknesses:
While the Proform 765 Treadmill has some interesting tracking tools, it's still an economy treadmill and not recommended for runners or heavier users.
Overall Conclusion: Good Economy Value
If you're on a budget but still want a challenging workout, the Proform 765 treadmill is a great buy - especially at this price. It's a step up from older Crosstrainer models with better cushioning, an upgraded motor power and more user programs.
The built-in Fitness Assessment can help keep you on track to your weight loss or fitness goals. If you get inspired by being on a program and seeing how far you've come, this may be the ideal tool for you.
Overall, the 765 is still not recommended for runners or heavier users. But it's still a great economy value with some fitness tools you won't find anywhere else.
