About the Motor

The ProForm 780 CrossWalk treadmill comes with a 3.0 CHP commercial-grade motor.  The 3.0 HP motor is a much better motor than what is offered with the less expensive ProForm Crosswalk 570 treadmill.  The motor is also backed by a 25-year warranty.

Cushioning and Treadmill Belt

The ProForm 780 CrossWalk treadmill's cushioning reduces the impact on the joints up to 22% compared to if you were to run on the road.  The treadmill belt is also a good size allowing plenty of room for even the taller users.

About the CrossWalk Arms

The built-in CrossWalk arms are designed to help you burn up to 50% more calories during your workouts.  The addition of adding arm movements to the workout gives you a total-body workout conditioning and toning both the upper and lower body.  The ProForm 780 CrossWalk also includes three interactive CrossWalk workouts programs which prompts you to use the CrossWalk arms during your workout. 
 

Warranty Information

The ProForm 780 CrossWalk treadmill comes with a 25-year warranty on the motor and a 90-days warranty for all parts and labor.   The warranty for the motor is good however the parts and labor warranty are very weak for a treadmill in this price range. Our recommendation is that you consider an extended warranty if you purchase this machine.

Conclusion

Anyone that has tried a ProForm CrossWalk treadmill can easily validate that the CrossWalk arms really do enhance the workout.  Not only do you feel exercise working in your arms, you also feel the shoulders and back benefiting from the upper-body movement. 

If you are in the market for a CrossWalk treadmill you will see that ProForm currently have two models available, the ProForm Crosswalk 570 and the ProForm 780 CrossWalk.  The CrossWalk 570 is almost half the price of the 780 CrossWalk treadmill but the 780 model has a lot more to offer.  For one the motor on the 780 is much better and is suited more for those that plan to use the treadmill more for walking or light running.  Neither model is recommended for heavy runners (those treadmills start at the $1500 and on up price range).  The 780 also comes with the three interactive programs to enhance your workout.  The walking surface and belt are about the same in both models. 

The CrossWalk arms really do enhance the workout but if the arms are something that you do not think you will use or can live without then there are other treadmills that would be a better buy in this price range.  The Smooth 5.45 and the Smooth 6.45 are both excellent treadmills that come with a much better warranty.  However they do not come with the patented CrossWalk arms and if you are looking for a treadmill with that technology the 780 CrossWalk is a good buy.
