ProForm’s 600 ZNE, a 2011 model, has exceptional features for its low price: iFit, an adjustable stride, and an MP3 player. However, like other budget ProForms, it isn’t heavy duty. It’s best for light to moderate exercisers weighing under 250 pounds. This unit has an MSRP of $999 but sells for as low as $599 online.
Elliptical Hits: What You Get with the 600 ZNE
- Cross training – Movable handlebars help speed up calorie burn and tone the upper body.
- Workout variety – The 600 ZNE has ten preset workouts. It’s also capable of supporting wireless iFit technology. iFit lets trainees access virtual physical trainers, virtually run along Google Maps routes, and race against other friends who have iFit elliptical machines.
- Adjustable stride – The 10%-30% incline lets people move from an elliptical movement to a steeper climbing motion.
- Audio entertainment – Trainees can play MP3s by plugging an iPod or similar player into the elliptical’s sound system.
- Workout fan – A convenient console fan helps exercisers keep cool.
- Space saving design – This elliptical can be folded vertically for easy storage.
- Warranty – The ZNE 600 has a better warranty than the ProForm SpaceSaver 600, which is a very similar model. The standard warranty includes lifetime protection on the frame plus a year of parts and labor.
Overall Rating for the ProForm 600 ZNE Elliptical
ProForm’s 600 ZNE is an entry-level folding elliptical that’s packed with extras: iFit, an incline, audio, and more. The warranty doesn’t match this machine’s full price, but it’s fair if you can find the 600 ZNE for about $599.
