I read in PC Magazine magazine that it does not work well on a treadmill. Treadmill users, is this accurate?

I only use mine on a treadmill and have had no problems at all with it. It comes with 2 batons which you strap the buttons 2 also I have put Velcro on the back of my iPad and to the display of my treadmill so that I can watch what I need to to play the games. I would recommend this as it makes my workout go much quicker and I have run for longer times than I have ever done before.

It should work on any treadmill. It "works" on my Sole. By works I mean, it lubes the deck. I still have to loosen the belt and there's no way to know how much lube you've applied to an area.

hey, I never use it on treadmill. But the headphone is pretty tight and I think it will work. The thing is the price is higher than before...

I use the sensor with an app on my iPhone. My experience, yes the sensor and everything, still works on a treadmill...as long as I have my phone (with the app) on me, as well. Either in an armband, or waist clip. As long as I do that, and with the sensor in my shoe...it still works. The app even asks me, when I start a new run, if I'm running indoors or outdoors. Hope that helps answer your question.

It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud). We have the treadmill in a bedroom which is near two other bedrooms and shut the door and it doesn't bother anyone. I will say we are a family that sleeps with fans running so maybe that is an added buffer to the treadmill sound. I do not think it is noisy. The only issue is a bad design where the cover is located at your feet - you step on it occassionally. We fixed this problem by adding a 1-1/4" wood dowelling that fits into the handles perfectly and hold onto the dowel instead of the built-in handle bars. I can send you a pic if interested if you give an email address. It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud).

I have not experienced this. However, my treadmill deck is high, so the desk is at its lowest setting. It is quite stable.

Go to horizon's website and you'll have the pictures. I can tell you that it's not compact and it is heavy. I like because I am a big guy and this treadmill feels a lot like the Gym's treadmill. It doesn't shake or move around as I am exercising. If you are planning on moving the treadmill back and forth for storage, I'd recommend to look for another brand. If you something solid that will mainly stay in one place, look no further.

Yes, it will work on that style of treadmill, very similar to mine. However, it will cover up your panels, so you won't be able to read any settings, etc, your treadmill is displaying. And you'll have to slip your finger under the holder to reach any buttons or controls. That's the only drawback! But shape-wise, it should work fine.

I haven't tried it. It is possible that the belt may slide up from its position if running hard on a treadmill, however, if it is tightened securely it should be fine. I have wore it while driving and getting in and out of my truck without any need for adjustment. As with any support belt, you shouldn't wear it for extended periods of time so your back muscles don't end up depending upon belt support. I would say it would work fine on a treadmill.

i use mine and even though it does not fit my treadmill the way it is suppose to, it does just fine and I am able to put my cd player on it and books to read. The only negative I have found is that it lays over my stop button and if I am not careful, when turning pages it will turn the machine off.

I use it for the same reasons and after you calibrate the pod, it gives you a fairly accurate reading. I really like that it counts your cadence, it is a very good tool, especially for the treadmill. I hope this helps.

Dear Michael, Nice name! I have no idea if this works with a ProForm treadmill, but I couldn't imagine why it wouldn't. As far as I know, all belts need to be lubricated and this one is so easy to use as very effective. If you cannot find the manual that came with the treadmill (join the club), contact ProForm online and ask them, just to be sure. Hope this helps =o) The directions tell you how much to apply. If your belt has not been properly lubricated in a while, you might want to use it once, and then in a few weeks use it again.

This has been a great treadmill for us. I really enjoy it but I know everyone is different but it has been wonderful for us. Hope this helps...i read many reveiws before even buying this one last year and so far it hasn't disappointed us.

I do not have this problem, but there are two tension adjustment rollers to fix your issue. They are at the rear of the unit and require the large hex key that was supplied with the treadmill. You should read the manual to see how to do this adjustment. I hope this helps.

Hi Frank, It doesn't use GPS. That is one thing I wish it did. So when you are on the treadmill you just have to swing the arm that the band is on. I have a friend that puts it on his ankle when he walks on his treadmill because he holds on with his arms. He says it is very accurate that way. I swing my arms and in my experience it is very accurate. Hope that helps.One more thing, you can change the mode to logging a workout. That way you get the benefit of a workout and it show your progress that way.

I have the Smooth Fitness 6.25 Treadmill not the 5.65 model. The model I have works well for walking, jogging, or running on an incline. I think it's a great machine.

There isn't anything special about this. It is a spray bottle of lubricant and a application sponge that is basically a foam sponge around a piece of plastic shaped like a long ruler. As long as you can slip the applicator under the belt to apply the lubricant it will work. Whether or not it will improve the performance of your treadmill is another question.
