Our Dislikes
The ProForm Performance 300i Treadmill is a cost-effective fitness equipment. It gives you all the basic features and a couple of technical features that you will not find on a treadmill of this price range. However, my only grouse with the treadmill is the size of its running surface. At 16”x50”, the treadmill will not be suitable for taller users. The narrow running surface may restrict you from running at higher speeds as there are chances of injury.
-
However, if you are looking for a light to medium intensity workout then the ProForm 300i is the right treadmill for you.
Our Verdict
Cost-efficient treadmills often don’t have all the features you are looking for, but that is not the case with the ProForm 300i Treadmill. The ProForm Performance 300i Treadmill not only has basic features, but also a couple of additional features that you will not find in a low-cost treadmill.
