ProForm 12.0 NE Elliptical Review

ProForm does it again by adding this machine to the PRO SERIES line (9.0 NE, 12.0 NE and 16.0 NE). Not only is the 12.0 NE a revolutionary machine with its accompanying iFit features, it is also a safe and comfortable one. With oversized, cushioned pedals and multi-position upper-body grips, you will be ergonomically sound and physically protected from stress injuries common in such machines. In fact, ProForm has gone to extra lengths to get their ellipticals to a point where you will of course experience typical soreness, but you will be less likely to incur sprains, strains and tears.

Best of all, the 32 lb. enhanced flywheel delivers incredible stability to this machine. Novices will be supported fully, and expert fitness users will still benefit from this strong, sturdy machine that provides a quiet and smooth ride. No more interrupting family members during early morning or late night workouts, and no more concerns about a wobbly frame or stressed out/broken mechanics.

For those concerned about the dismal warranties included with many of today’s elliptical machines, the ProForm 12.0 NE has got you covered. It comes with a lifetime frame warranty, 5 years on parts and 2 years on labor. This is an incredibly generous guarantee on a machine within this price bracket.
