ProForm 19.0 RE Elliptical


7.8Expert Score
For a trainer under $1000, this comes with a lot of balls and whistles. We simply love the adjustable oversized pedals, strong built quality and the feeling of its stride. Only thing we hate about this machine is its iPad holder (as we have to take our ipad from its case and the holder seems pretty tight). Some customers have reported about service issue, but we haven’t encounter any issues (yet).

Adjustable Stride

You can use the Power Adjustable Stride for changing the stride length according to needs in order to make progress with your workouts. Higher inclines are for the longer strides which targets glutes and hamstrings. Lower inclines are for targeting the quads and calves which is done through shorter strides. You can adjust the position of the strider for better fitting.

This machine is built out of commercial gauge-solid steel. Which means it is strong and more durable. The 20 LB Inertia enhanced Flywheel will allow you to experience a steady and smooth stride. The wheels mounted at the front makes it easier to move the elliptical. It has a user capacity up to 350 pound which makes it one of the sturdy Elliptical from ProForm. The extra large, well cushioned pedals will give stability and comfort while working out.

Assembly

Assembling this trainer is quite easy. It requires two individuals to do the job. The manual includes step by step directions for you to assemble it at ease. It is recommended that you dispose the packing materials only once all the parts are properly assembled. A Phillips screwdriver, one rubber mallet and one adjustable wrench will be needed besides the other tools that are already included to assemble the trainer.

heart-rate-proform-19-150x150Heart rate monitor

This trainer comes with hands free Polar Wireless Chest Strap. We always prefer this over contact grip HRM. we have tested it against other sensor and result is 100% flawless. It also has built-in handlebar sensors that keep a “very accurate” record of your heart rate that you can closely monitor while exercising. But if you are doing Heart Rate zone training, this “very accurate” is not accurate enough. we always suggest to use the chest strap if you are doing heart rate zonal training.

Display

This elliptical comes with a 7” backlit display which is quite clear. The display comes with a large viewing angle. So regardless of your height, you will always be able to monitor your progress while exercising. The display will show your heart rate, distance, resistance, speed and the calories that you burnt through exercising. And all this information can easily be read on the while you workout.
