Thank you so much for your very informative a d detailed review. It makes my decision making much easier because it is so overwhelming with all the different treadmills out there
Please be aware that the variant of the Pro 5000 they are currently selling in 2021 is not the same hardware that was reviewed here. Various features have been cut down in size/power or removed completely.
Hi, I thought this was a great review! I do have one question not covered. I am not one who is really interested in the subscription iFit offers, or doing the classes, etc. My main thing is to have the vitals displayed (hr, pace, avg pace, distance, mph, avg mph etc) along with a virtual lap track, and having these saved so I can review them and compare them over time. It would be great to review this on at least the app without a subscription, and a nice bonus would be allowing through the screen on the treadmill too. Are you able to have this and save this without paying the iFit subscription?
I have just read that pro form will not cover the warranty if this is in a garage, even if the garage has been tidied up and decorated up a bit. ?? Do you know a capable treadmill that allows use in a garage. I live in the south of the UK so our temperatures are not extreme. Any advise ?
Thank you so much for an amazing comprhensive review! I have narrowed it down to the this ProForm 5000 or the Nordic Track 1750....they are only $100 differince in price right now --so price is not an issue. I honestly can't decide which machine to go with. Nordic track seems to have more cushioning & a lip to hold my phone, but no tablet holder. Which would you personally pick just out of personal preference? Are the nordic track fans better? Thank you so much for your time!
14:20 There is this deformity line on the treads (That is going diagonal) Any chance you know why is it like this ? other tread mills don't have it and I can feel the friction caused by it when i am on the tread mill.
Is there a difference between the "Smart Pro 5000" and the "ProForm Pro 5000" or are they one in the same? It's a bit confusing.....thanks, great reviews ;)
They are the same. Although the Pro 5000 is currently not listed on ProForm's website. We're not sure if they've removed it permanently or just temporarily.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru how are they the same ? if the incline is two different things? i asked proform and their horrible customer service didnt even know what i was talking about
Any comments on the advantages of the ProForm Smart Pro 9000 over this 5000? From what I can see, 9000 has a slightly more powerful motor, comes with chest heart rate monitor, and has an HDMI port to project your console screen/iFit on a larger TV. Any other differences or thoughts on 9000 vs 5000?
The 9000 has more cushioning in the deck and the larger screen does make a difference bc much of the console functionality is embedded in the touchscreen. Since the screen is larger on the 9000 the touchscreen buttons are easier to see and press. Both are good treadmills with plenty of power for everyday use. The upgrades on the 9000 are nice -- if they matter to you. We always recommend buying the best treadmill you can with the features you want. If the 9000 offers features you don't think you'll use (or benefit from), the 5000 is a great choice. Based on specs and our usage, the 9000 is a higher grade treadmill.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru thanks for reply. I'm confused though, based on their website specs they both have 10" touch screen and both have ProShox Cushioning. Are there different versions of ProShox Cushioning?
@@PandaBearBoss You are right, the screens are the same size. The Pro 2000 has a smaller screen. Deck cushioning is enhanced by the ProShox system, but the construction of the deck also affects impact absorption. Higher grade treadmills have larger rollers and a thicker belt and deck. Thicker decks are composed of composite material that is more flexible, so this helps mitigate foot impact in addition to flexibility from the ProShox system. The Pro 9000 has more impact absorption than the 5000 even though they both feature the ProShox system. For runners under 200 pounds, this isn't as noticeable, but as running time and runner size increases, the differences are more pronounced. If you plan to walk, jog and run less than 6 miles per day, the Pro 5000 would be an excellent choice. Larger runners or those training for longer events tend to prefer the higher grade Pro 9000.
Probably not. ProForm stopped production on the Pro 5000 in 2019, so our assumption is the model you are looking at is the same version. It is, however, a fantastic treadmill. On the 2021 models, ProForm updated the screen on many of their treadmills but decreased the deck thickness and cushioning. So the older models are actually better in many ways.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you. Some of the differences as I see for the one at Costco - Screen size increased to 14'', belt size changed to 20x60, no tablet holder, motor power decreased to 3.5 CHP and incline is -3% - 12% (digital). Hopefully I am getting a good one.
Is internet required to use the preloaded programs on the Smart Proform 5000? I saw your comment that the NordicTrack 1750 requires internet to use the programs, even if you are not using iFit.
The functionality is limited without an internet connection. Even if you don't use iFit - the free programs are frequently updated and replaced with new ones. An internet connection is required to do this.
Yes, this treadmill will easily support your weight and is a great tool for weight loss. The preprogrammed iFit workouts provide lots of variable training. Make sure to incorporate strength training off the treadmill along with cardio on the treadmill. Good luck!
hi, appreciate the review. As we are in quarantine right now, im looking to buy a treadmill. Would you say you can do a lot of heavy running on this treadmill without it causing problems? like around 7-8 miles per day for 5 days per week. Thanks
Good question Florin. The 3.75 horsepower motor is self-cooling and powerful enough to handle daily use -- even high miles, so you should be good there. If you run outside on asphalt most of the time, then the cushioning will be a definite improvement over those surfaces. If you want slightly more cushioning in the deck, a comparable model would be the NordicTrack 1750. It has the same horsepower motor and same size running belt, but offers just a touch more cushioning (it is $200 more). But the ProForm 5000 is a hearty machine and will handle daily use just fine. Good luck!
Thanks! I haven't had that issue on the new ProForm 5000, but this is a concern that has been mentioned by other users. If you stand just an inch or two back away from the console, you don't hit your foot. I think on the older machines, the motor hood was higher and tended to impede your running stride. On the new 5000 we didn't have that problem.
The tablet holder used to come standard on the ProForm 5000. They have since stopped sending it with the machine. I looked on the website and they don't sell them as an accessory anymore.
Love your'e videos! Looking at the specs at both the Proform smart pro 2000 and the 5000, it appears the only difference is the motor size and the screen size, is that correct? Also could you tell me is the Nordic Track 1750 has any onboard programs that do not require ifit?
Yes, the ProForm 2000 and 5000 are quite similar, with the main differences being the 5000 has a larger screen and bigger motor. The 1750 has about 50 preloaded workouts you do not need iFit to use -- but you do need internet. We tried to access the preloaded programs on our 1750 and without internet, the screen won't load anything.
@Peter Rabbit you are correct. On the 2021 model the Pro 2000 has 1.9" rollers. The larger rollers help move the belt along smoothly which reduces friction and wear on the belt.
Enjoy your reviews! I ordered the Proform 5000 and excited to try it out. What kind of fitness watch are you wearing or would you recommend for my wife? She's had two fitbits but they don't last.
Thanks! Enjoy your Pro 5000! Kristen is wearing the Vivoactive 3. It doesn't sync directly with the machine -- but it keeps track of total steps/calories throughout the day and isn't too expensive.
Any comments on the New Pro-form 9000 with the 22 inch LCD? I have tall kids 6”3 and 5”11.. wanted to do a lot of running and hit sprinting drills on it .. I was looking at the Norditrack 2450/2950 these machines cost more wondering if it’s worth the extra investment
There are some things we love about the Pro 9000. It is a great mid-range treadmill with a nice screen. It isn't as reinforced, and doesn't have the same cushioning in the deck as the Nordictrack Commercial Series, so either the 2450 or 2950 would be a better treadmill as far as durability and feel. Based on the fact that you have two adult-sized users in your home, I'd probably recommend the 2450 if it's within your budget. The 2950 is an absolutely amazing treadmill for running, but it is substantially more expensive. The 2450 gives you the most bang for your buck and the 14" touchscreen is plenty large when you're standing right in front of it.
I’m thinking of upgrading from my Pro-Form Power 995c. I do a lot of distance goal runs and one issue I found with the 995c is the distance goals setting only allows for .2 mile increments. This is an inconvenience when I want to set a goal including half miles. Does the Smart 5000 allow someone to set distance goals in the .1 mile increments? I’d really like to stop having to set my treadmill to 3.6 miles when I only really want to do 3.5.
We'd recommend the Nordictrack 1750. ProForm no longer offers the Pro 5000 on their website. The 1750 has nice cushioning and works well for larger runners.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru That will be awesome! I was thinking of getting it until I heard the foot noise difference between the NT x22i vs the PF 5000 reviews. Now I'm torn! Can't wait for the review! Y'all do an amazing job!
Excellent review! I am really looking for a quiet treadmill. It sounds like the foot noise is high and pronounced on ProForm 5000 vs NordicTrack 1750/2450. Can you please confirm?
There is a bit more foot noise on the ProForm 5000. Of those three you listed, the 2450 is the quietest. If you want something really quiet, the incline trainers from NordicTrack (x11i, x22i and x32i) are quieter - but they don't fold up. The Sole F80 and F85 are also quiet when in use.
TreadmillReviewGuru thank you for your reply! I really like the F80 for it’s simple layout. But I am a little worried about the cushioning from the belt. Reviews on it say that there’s not a lot of give from the belt. Is the cushioning totally negligible on the F80 or is it not as much flex when compared to ProForm/NordicTrack? Also, does NordicTrack treadmills need to be connected to internet (wifi) to access onboard workouts or is it only required to access iFit account?
@@kianshv8984 Sole builds strong treadmills with full lifetime warranties. Their focus is strength and durability -- but you do sacrifice a bit with deck cushioning. The NordicTrack 1750 is more cushioned than the Sole F80; but you can always depend on Sole for great warranty protection. If you are looking for more cushioning, we'd recommend the Nordictrack or ProForm treadmills. You don't need to be connected to WiFi to use the manual mode on the NordicTrack treadmills, but the preloaded programs do get updated from time to time and iFit will often include a "workout of the day" which is a promotional free iFit workout you can use even if you don't have a subscription. So it is beneficial to have WiFi access with the NordicTrack treadmills even if you don't pay for iFit.
Besides the difference in screen size, is there really any discernible difference in performance between this model and the $200-less Smart Pro 2000? I'm trying to decide if the .25 additional HP and 3in screen increase are truly worth the $200... Both seem like pretty good machines!
They have a very similar frame and build. The main difference is the motor and screen size. The .25 HP bigger motor in the 5000 gives you just a touch more power so if you run more than walk, we'd probably recommend the larger motor.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Ah, understood! Thanks so much for the reply. I'm a competitive runner (very rarely do I do anything not running-related), so I guess I'll go for the 5000! Thanks!
As of January 2021, the Pro 5000 is no longer available on ProForm's website. They may be redesigning it and will sell it again in the future, but we don't have details on that. For now, we left the review up because people are still buying/selling the Pro 5000 as private party sales or from third party retailers.
Thank you for the video. I am debating between the pro form 9000 vs the Nordick 2450? IF you had to choose between one, witch one and why? And after the one year subscription of Ifit is any of those not workable without the ifit? I heard that maybe the Nordick could be a problem without the subscription ? Thank you
Both the ProForm 9000 and NordicTrack 2450 are excellent machines. We like the way NordicTrack creates cushioning in the deck on their Commercial line treadmills, it feels more comfortable underfoot. If you plan to run regularly or long distances, we'd recommend the 2450. It also has a larger touchscreen, which is a nice feature. But really, both are good machines. There are 50 onboard workouts on the 2450 so even if you don't use iFit, you have lots of workout options. These come preloaded so you can use them anytime. Good luck!
Looking for a treadmill that doesn’t require a subscription and has a tablet holder. I’m trying to decide between the Proform 5000 and Sole F80. Which has the best cushioning and is easiest to store?
Both machines have tablet holders. The Sole F80 does not offer a subscription. The ProForm 5000 does offer iFit, but it comes loaded with programs so you don't need the subscription if you don't want it. The 5000 has better cushioning than the F80 -- so if cushioning matters, we'd recommend the ProForm 5000
Why can't you use this treadmill without it being connected to wifi. That's ridiculous who programmed it to be this way. The option to use manual mode should be there without wifi!
@@TreadmillReviewGuru it doesn't let me bypass. Without wifi it won't let me get into the main menu so I can select manual mode. All that comes up is a screen that says not connected to wifi, go to settings. I'm not mad at you, your reviews are great. I'm mad at pro Form.
Is it possible to simulcast to a larger TV screen? Hidden Admin commands on the treadmill console?
Excellent reviews, thank you so much for actually going into the details that we as buyers want to see in action
Thanks Bron! We're happy it is helpful.

That is actually where the treadmill belt is fused together. Pretty much all treadmills we test have that on the belt.

Looking for a treadmill that doesn’t require a subscription and has a tablet holder. I’m trying to decide between the Proform 5000 and Sole F80. Which has the best cushioning and is easiest to store?
Both machines have tablet holders. The Sole F80 does not offer a subscription. The ProForm 5000 does offer iFit, but it comes loaded with programs so you don't need the subscription if you don't want it. The 5000 has better cushioning than the F80 -- so if cushioning matters, we'd recommend the ProForm 5000
She did a fantastic job. The editor who thought it was a good idea to play ANNOYING music in the background while she is talking? Not so much.
Thanks for the feedback. We'll assess the need for background music in future videos
Agree! No need for background music at all!
Why can't you use this treadmill without it being connected to wifi. That's ridiculous who programmed it to be this way. The option to use manual mode should be there without wifi!
You can bypass the wifi connection and use the manual setting in this machine. Sorry for the miscommunication.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru it doesn't let me bypass. Without wifi it won't let me get into the main menu so I can select manual mode. All that comes up is a screen that says not connected to wifi, go to settings. I'm not mad at you, your reviews are great. I'm mad at pro Form.
04:28 that's what she said.
It is really a flimsy treadmill, unstable, it wobbles a lot, the console and supports shake like crazy. It is not worth it. Keep away.
