A practical update on choosing affordable home weight-training machines: what to prioritize, pros and cons of resistance types, brand notes, and buying tips for new or used units.
The ProForm 730 was an entry-level treadmill designed for walkers and casual users. Low cost and simple controls made it a sensible starter machine, but buyers should weigh limited durability and warranty coverage - especially today, when replacement parts or service for older models can be harder to find.
A home treadmill makes regular, guided workouts practical. Modern models (including legacy ProForm machines) combine foldability, pre-set programs, and app connectivity to deliver trainer-style sessions at home - verify exact specs if buying a specific model or a used unit.
ProForm offers value-oriented ellipticals with modern consoles and home-focused features. Compare stride, resistance, build, and warranty to decide if a ProForm model meets your needs.
