What customers say about "Key Specs"
NordicTrack C 990 Treadmill
  • A one-touch button lets you easily adjust incline from 0% up to 12%. This feature can help dramatically increase calorie burn and tone targeted muscle groups.
  • I'm a bigger guy and the shock absorbing deck is excellent!! Assembling it was cake. My wife and I knocked it out in no time.
  • The treadmill itself works great. The speed and incline controls are easy to use and the motor feels really powerful.
  • The controls are also situated in a perfect place to easily adjust speed or incline as necessary.
  • Treadmill makes noise during incline after week workouts.
ProForm Pro 2000 Treadmill
  • A folding treadmill which can easily be folded and stored after use, which makes it highly suitable for home use.
  • It has an impressive speed range, incline, and decline capability.
  • This treadmill has a spacious and thick belt that offers comfort to all users.
  • Climbs up to full speed very quickly, and you can punch in your ideal speed quickly too.
  • No pace option. Speed measurements are only displayed in MPH - not very useful.
  • The monitor screen is cracked, the long, skinny, shock used to stand the treadmill in an upright position for storage fails to lock in place.

What customers say about "Design"
NordicTrack C 990 Treadmill
  • This treadmill provides a nice amount of grip and has adjustable cushioning.
  • FlexSelect cushioning is an on/off feature. Turn the cushioning on to get excellent joint protection. Turn it off to simulate outdoor conditions.
  • Really sturdy treadmill. I can run and it doesn’t shake or make a lot of noice.
  • I can't use my tablet computer with my workout because the tablet computer holder isn’t at eye level.
  • Motor is already having issues after one year of normal use.
ProForm Pro 2000 Treadmill
  • It has a powerful 3.5 CHP motor which works quietly without creating much noise.
  • ProShox Cushioning plays the role of lowering the effect of doing high-impact workouts.
  • Pretty good cup holder, towel system. Not ideal, but plenty of storage and manageable.
  • The belt has excellent cushioning which really eases the impact on the body.
  • I had to replace the motor and the motor controller after I had the treadmill for only 8 months.

What customers say about "Features"
NordicTrack C 990 Treadmill
  • The NordicTrack C 990 has a diverse array of 32 workout applications. You can work on speed, endurance, and weight loss goals with programs that are customized to your fitness level.
  • The C 990 includes an InterMix Acoustics sound system with 3″ speakers. A smartphone-compatible music port lets you stream MP3s directly through the treadmill’s console.
  • This doesn't even have onboard basic training like hill training, interval training etc. There is only one manual mode where you can decide everything like pace, incline.
  • The treadmill is unusable if the computer malfunctions.
  • Fan is noisy. Would be nicer if you could aim the fan or turn off it.
ProForm Pro 2000 Treadmill
  • Heart rate monitoring option through grip sensors or wireless chest strap work great.
  • It is equipped with a cooling fan which has multiple speed settings to keep you cool and fresh during your workout.
  • Fans are pretty good for a treadmill. I've certainly seen less effective fans in gym treadmills.
  • No option to set weight for better accuracy on calorie burn.
  • After 1hr, it stops showing seconds. This adds another difficulty in trying to find out just exactly what pace you are going.
