Conclusion
The reviews for the ProForm Perspective 1000 are very good and this elliptical trainer does include a lot of great features for a reasonable price.  The 20 personal trainer workouts and the 7 inch flat screen TV really are the key features and at a price under $1300 the TV alone makes this elliptical a great deal. However even the design makes the Perspective 1000 worth considering.  Even Treadmill Doctor rates the Perspective 1000 as having a "solid and dependable design".

The only real downside to this elliptical trainer is the stride length.  The 18 inch stride length really best suits those that are 5'8" in height and under.  Taller users will be better suited with a stride length over 18 inches. Anyone 5'8" and under should have no issues with the stride length on this machine.
