Construction and Dimensions
The frame of the Cardio III is of commercial gauge steel construction. The elliptical itself weighs 180 pounds and can support users weighing up to 350 pounds. The assembled dimensions of the Cardio III are 39” x 29.25” x 66.7” of length, width, and height respectively.
The elliptical is foldable which is great because you get the option to tuck the machine away after use and place it in a corner. The Cardio III’s portability gives you a lot of convenience as its space save design does not allow it to occupy too much space in your room.
Console and Features
The ProForm Cardio III comes with a 7” display screen that track your workout readings such as speed, distance, time, calories burned, heart rate, and more. Large and easy to operate buttons make it easy for you to manually select from the 26 resistances. Other features include the ability to adjust speed, audio, workout programs, and the fan. With a bafflingly high 34 workout programs, you get to choose from a diverse number of workout programs that target different aspects of your muscles and help tone them into a more chiseled shaped. The design of the Cardio III is ingenious as its 10 inch foothold design and shape of the handlebars target key places of your body. The movement of the lower body is paired with resistance from operating the handlebars, which gives you a fluid and effective calorie burn. The boxing like motion of the handlebars allow you to target different muscle groups on your shoulders, chest, back, and other core spots. Grip pulse monitors on the handlebars help track the beating of your heart and shows the readings on the screen.
A 28 pound flywheel provides necessary resistance that adds to the challenging aspect of your workout. But worry not because the comfortable design of the Cardio III helps recover your muscles faster. The HIIT training app is based on the real HIIT training regime that combines sudden bursts of force followed by short periods of light training to amplify calorie burn and significantly increase your body’s metabolism.
For a nominal subscription to the iFit app, you can also pair your Cardio III to the application and download training data, workout programs, and other videos from it. This adds to the already high number of workout programs already existing in the console’s default settings and signifies that the Cardio III is a machine to be reckoned with. An MP3/iPod compatible sound system allows you to enjoy music while you work out.
Warranty
The warranty provided by ProForm covers the frame of the Cardio III for a lifetime; three years for parts, and one year for labor. The manufacturer also provides the safe option of a 30 days money-back guarantee. If these little step do not express ProForm’s faith in their product then it would be challenging to find what else does.
