Conclusion for ProForm 5.5 Crosstrainer treadmill review
The ProForm 5.5 Crosstrainer treadmill is a well designed machine driven by a good 2.25Chp motor and with a lot of stimulation training programs. For this price it offers enough features and it looks like a good buy for a beginner or a walker.
The 5.5 Crosstrainer don’t have any entertainment features like mp3 dock or speakers but we think this is the best you will get for 600$. This treadmill is not a foldable one and has a maximum incline of 10% but comes with a lot of other features that compensate and give value.
We also observed that the ProForm 5.5 Crosstrainer has a longer belt that the user model in the economy class and his mid size motor will handle the job in a decent matter. You may engage occasionally in running sessions at 10 mph but if this becomes a habit you will probably have to replace this treadmill with a better one.

I bought this unit on sale which was 1000 dollars off the listed price. This was so easy to put together and was quiet and ran very smooth.
Very easy to program and use and has a built in fan to help cool you off if you need it. Would recommend this unit
