ProForm iSeries 785F Elliptical Review

About the stride length
The ProForm iSeries 785F is a budget elliptical that comes with a decent stride length for an elliptical trainer that is under $600.  The stride length of 18" will not accommodate taller users but is fine for anyone that is average height. 

About the Intensity Ramp™
The Intensity Ramp™ electronically adjust the incline level of the elliptical trainer which forces the legs and glutes to work harder but putting additional stress on the muscles.
 

About the Built-in Sound System
For those that do not like to workout with headphones, the iSeries 785f includes a built-in sound system with a music port that is compatible with your iPod or MP3 Player.   
 

Warranty Information
The iSeries 758 comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame and includes a 7-Year warranty for the brake and a 1-Year warranty for parts and labor.

Conclusion
The ProForm iSeries 785F elliptical comes with a lot of good features for a budget machine.  Most of the reviews that we have seen for this elliptical are pretty good and the customers that had purchased the 785F seemed to be pretty happy with what they received.  The iPod compatible music port, built-in workout fan and electronic Intensity Ramp™ alone are great features for any elliptical trainer.  Add in the upper-body workout arms and the 14 personal trainer workouts and the ProForm iSeries 785F starts to look like a really great buy for under $600.

However keep in mind that the Series 785F is not a perfect elliptical trainer and it is not right for everyone.  The 785F is a budget machine and as such is built with less expensive parts than the higher end models.  If you ever compare a budget elliptical trainer to a gym quality machine you will quickly notice that the budget elliptical trainers are a lot lighter in weight and usually are not as durable as a mid to high price ranged elliptical trainers.  The budget ellipticals are also designed for only moderate and anyone that needs an elliptical trainer for heavy training will need to look into the $1500 on up price range for the mid to high-end machines.
