I’ll start with two dislikes (personal of course). In a nutshell, the ProForm 590T Treadmill will not accommodate large and demanding runner because of its running deck size and motor.
This treadmill gives you 20 inches wide by 55 inches long for running space. That’s not an unusual amount of space, but you can find longer surfaces … if that is what you need.
If you do any treadmill research at all, you’ll see that treadmills range in length typically from 55 inches to 60 inches. Some of the super premium treadmills are longer. If you’re smaller, then a 55 inch long running deck size will suit you fine.
Another criticism (objectively speaking) is the 2.25 horsepower motor – which is relatively low when compared to the many treadmill available which have 3.0 horsepower motors. That said, the ProForm 590T Treadmill is priced pretty well below $1,000 – which will obviously mean some premium features will not be included – horsepower being one of them.
In fact, treadmill ratings help and can be useful – but you must take them with a grain of salt. After all, 2.25 horsepower may be totally adequate for you. In fact, you may like the smaller motor size for a quieter machine.
When it comes down to it, the ProForm 590T will be fine for a smaller person compared to someone 6′ 4″ tall weight 215 pounds. How about some of the real advantages to this treadmill.
First, the display screen is large and is a backlit LCD screen. Second, it comes outfitted with an iFit port – which can really take your workouts to the next level (you need to buy the iFit card in addition to the ProForm 590T treadmill).
Third, if you’re a reader while working out, you’ll enjoy the wide console and wide magazine reading rack. The best part of the ProForm 590T Treadmill is the price – you can buy this treadmill quite a bit below $1,000 (at the time this review was written – prices can vary).
