The Proform XP 590s treadmill: storage is XPedient

The Proform XP 590s treadmill is one of the XP series treadmills produced exclusively by Proform for Sears.

The Proform XP 590s treadmills, along with the 542e, 542s and XP 800VF, are designed for use in the home gym and are suitable for use in fitness, training and weight loss programs.

Proform is one of several brands offered at Sears, but almost all of them – Healthrider, Weslo and Nordic Track included – are manufactured by Icon Health and Fitness, the largest producer of exercise and training equipment in the world.

Pro Form has been known to put more attention to design and additional features at the expense of quality, but in the economy class of treadmills, they are often rated as the best buys.

Proform and Sears: the greats like to be together

The XP 590s treadmill is a larger model in the XP series with a 19×55 “treadmill.

That should be especially appealing to older people and those who restrict their physical training to running.

Otherwise it largely shares the specifications of the 542s and 542e treadmills: a 2.75HP motor for speeds up to 10MPH with up to 10% power incline and a cushioned running surface with the ProShox system ( TM).

The Pro-Form 590s, like the XP542e, includes a carb counter between all kinds of readings in case your exercise regimen follows a low carb weight loss program.

Preset workouts and interactive iFit® technology are also included along with ePort (TM) for MP3 playback.

An interesting feature is the folding storage lift aid.

The Pro Form XP 590s sells for less than $ 900, most treadmills suitable for running start at a couple hundred more, but are sometimes discounted or rebates may apply.

Sears also offers good service in that XP590s can be ordered online but can be picked up at your local Sears retail store, saving you on delivery time.

Sears offers service agreements and provides service on many of its own products.
