The ProForm 590T Treadmill is not designed for large demanding runners, but it is an excellent entry-level treadmill for people getting into running or aren’t extremely demanding.
This treadmill gives you 20 inches wide by 55 inches long for running space. That’s not an unusual amount of space, but you can find longer surfaces … if that is what you need.
An optimal length for a treadmill is 60 inches – especially if you’re taller, have a long gait, and/or like doing lunges on your treadmill. It’s imperative when you’re shopping for a treadmill that you consider your height, gait-length, and whether you will do unique workouts such as lunges on your treadmill so you don’t end up with something too short.
Another criticism (objectively speaking) is the 2.25 horsepower motor – which is relatively low when compared to the many treadmill available which have 3.0 horsepower motors. That said, the ProForm 590T Treadmill is priced pretty well below $1,000 – which will obviously mean some premium features will not be included – horsepower being one of them.
In fact, treadmill ratings help and can be useful – but you must take them with a grain of salt. After all, 2.25 horsepower may be totally adequate for you. In fact, you may like the smaller motor size for a quieter machine.
If you’re a beginning runner and are not super tall, the ProForm 590T may be a perfect fit for you. With that, let me set out what I like about this treadmill.
First, you typically can’t go wrong with ProForm display screens. It’s a blue backlit LCD monitor that is easy to read. Second, if you like technology, you’ll love the iFit Live port which gives you the option to purchase iFit Live technology and take your workouts to a new level.
Third, the console is really wide – which I like – because it makes for reading books and magazines easy. If you like reading while working out on a treadmill, check out the ProForm 590T treadmill. Finally … the price – this treadmill is priced well under $1,000 – making it affordable for many people (at the time this review was written – prices can vary).
