Performance 500

Start your workout habit right with a motor delivering smooth, consistent power to your full range of workouts—intervals, speed, and endurance.

Because your in-home workout experience should be a comfortable one, ProForm designed a roomy deck so you won’t feel confined as you walk, jog, and run. The 55-inch length gives your legs plenty of room to get moving. And the 20-inch width allows your upper-body comfortable elbowroom. To ensure our treadmills are top quality, we test each belt for one million cycles at double the user weight before release.

Our No. 1 goal is to provide a comfortable run—and a comfortable walk. Every treadmill we release is equipped with cushioning throughout the deck area. So as you walk, jog, or run, your joints will be thanking you. With less stress on your feet, ankles, knees, and hips, you’ll be able to enjoy a longer workout and faster recovery time. It’s one reason why people love their treadmills.

We know you like your house to be clutter-free. So we invented a treadmill that folds up and out of the way when you’re done with your workout. It totally rocked the fitness industry; but honestly, we’re just glad you don’t have to sacrifice your living space for your fitness habit anymore.

We know that a quality product is all about the details. That’s why we’ve built the Performance 500 with 1.9-inch precision-machined, balanced, non-flex rollers. These medium-sized rollers decrease tension, which keeps wear and tear to a minimum. You’ll also notice less noise and better grip. So, just in case you were wondering, we care about the little things, too.

Once you create your raving workout playlist, just plug your iPod® or MP3 player into our built-in sound system. Built with two 2-inch speakers, you can turn up the tunes and turn up the tempo. Experts have learned that we actually increase or decrease our pace to match the tempo of our tunes. Music has also been proven to lower perceived exertion. That’s great news.

*iPod® is a trademark of Apple, Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries. iPod® not included.

We know when you’ve made up your mind about getting fit, you mean business. So we made sure your workout stats are right in front of you as you work out. That means you can watch your mileage, speed, calorie burn, heart rate, and time add up. It feels good to know you’re getting stronger each day.

Make fitness time multi-tasking time. This device shelf keeps your tablet secure and conveniently close so you have access to all your training tools and entertainment must-haves.

Not everybody likes to run at 10 miles per hour. But it’s nice to know this treadmill can totally handle it. Thanks to a bigger motor size and faster flywheel gear ratio, we are pretty proud of the Performance 500’s 10 mph top speed. Our in-home efficiency booster means you can run every day without using excessive amounts of electricity. And the convenient QuickSpeed® buttons let you adjust your intensity instantly, so you can stay focused through every step of your workout.

Boost your performance with Quick Incline™ controls. Walking at an incline reduces impact on your joints, adds variety, and helps you burn more calories faster. A favorite feature among professionals, Quick Incline™ controls adjust your incline with the touch of a button—without interrupting your stride.

Created by America’s Toughest Trainer, Jillian Michaels, this 8-week program delivers progressive workouts to help you slim down. The treadmill’s incline automatically adjusts as Jillian coaches you through each workout. It’s like The Biggest Loser without the cameras—or tears.

After years of hard work and innovation, we figured out how to make your fitness experience convenient and simple. When you step on the deck of a ProForm treadmill, you get instant access to professional training programs fully loaded and ready to go. Now you can enjoy a challenging workout focused in on your goals. Just press “Start” and you’re off.

Our built-in CoolAire™ fan keeps your workout comfortable from the moment you step onto the deck to the moment you step off. Choose from two speed settings for instant control—because one of the joys of indoor workouts is climate control. Even if it’s raining outside, foggy, blazing hot, or bad air quality—it’s no big deal.

Grab hold of in-the-moment heart rate monitoring. These two hand-grip sensors are conveniently built in to the handlebars. In a couple seconds, you’ll be able to see your heart rate at any point in your training.

Built with the whole family in mind, the Performance 500 treadmill accommodates up to 300 pounds per user.

We want to help you protect your investment. That’s why we try to go above and beyond with our product warranties. The Performance 500 is protected with a Lifetime Frame Warranty, 25-Year Motor Warranty, and 1-Year Parts & Labor Warranty.
