However, the motion itself is rather ‘choppy’, with a slightly bouncy action rather than a smooth arc. The ProForm 700 does have a respectably heavy flywheel (10Kg) and the fluidity of the momentum is fairly smooth as well as very silent.
Rear wheel cross trainers (particularly under the £500 mark) often offer a rather bouncy elliptical motion in comparison to more expensive, refined machines. The maximum user capacity is 115Kg (18 stone) and so we thought who better than to get our ‘largest’ reviewer Charlie Rawes to put it through it’s paces! Getting (very) close to the weight limit we noticed a fair amount of movement in the frame but overall the build quality and durability seems to be adequate, which is typical of a ProForm machine in that it ‘does the job’. In our opinion this is the most ingenious and effective folding system we have ever seen – there is nothing to rival it and Icon (the makers of ProForm) have got the patent leaving other manufacturers seemingly scratching their heads to think of an answer! The safety pin is then reinstalled to lock the flywheel casing in it’s new upright position. Once the pedal arms are securely held vertically out of the way, you simply pull out a safety pin from the flywheel body casing, and the whole thing can be pivoted on a hinge to sit up vertically. The ProForm 700 has a truly ingenious folding mechanism that is quick and easy to operate (once you know how)… There is a latch trigger under the end of each pedal arm that can release the sleeve from the crank arms, so that each one can be independently raised up until they make contact and ‘stick’ to magnets on the upper body arms. If you’re concerned that a decent sized elliptical trainer might require too much space and investment, just take a look at this!…. This is the ‘Space Saver’ 700 model and that fitting title gives the clue of why this machine may become very popular! The patented folding mechanism of ProForm ellipticals is their crowning glory and a feature that truly sets them apart from all other rival brands.
