About the Motor

The ProForm 780 CS treadmill comes with a 2.25 HP drive motor.  This is a commercial-grade motor that will offer more continuous power than the standard peak performance motors.  Cooling fans have also been included to help prolong the life of the motor.  The motor is also backed by a 25-year warranty.

Cushioning and Treadmill Belt

The ProForm 780 CS includes the ProSoft 3 Adjustable Cushioning  for the treadmill deck.  The cushioning on the treadmill deck helps to reduce the impact on the joints and lower back that would be felt if you were to walk or run on the road.  The treadmill's belt is also a good size at 20" x 55".

About the iFit Workout Card Technology

The iFit workout technology is an eight week program that is designed by a Certified Personal Trainer. Each iFit card plugs directly into the treadmills console and automatically adjust the incline and the speed of the treadmill while the voice of the personal trainer walks you through the workout.
 

Warranty Information

The ProForm 780 CS treadmill comes with a 25-year warranty on the motor and a 1-year warranty for all parts and labor. 

Conclusion

The reviews for the ProForm 780 CS are very positive highlighting that this is a good entry level treadmill.  Like the other treadmills in its class (under $1500 price range), the ProForm 780 CS is not designed for heavy runners.  Anyone that plans to use a treadmill for running will need to spend quite a bit more money to invest in one of the mid to high-end treadmills. 

What the 780 CS does include is a lot of nice features for a treadmill in the mid-$600 price range.  There is a built-in workout fan, 15 preset programs, heart rate monitor, a dock for your iPod and the impressive iFit Workout Card technology.   The treadmill also is built with a commercial grade motor that is backed with a 25-year warranty.
