Proform Crosswalk LXS Treadmill Review

The Proform Crosswalk LXS Treadmill is a step up from the Crosswalk X Treadmill found in my previous post.

The Proform LXS treadmill has some advantages over the before mentioned Crosswalk X that are worth taking a look at.

Here are the vital specs on the Proform Crosswalk LXS Treadmill along with my review.

• 4-Window LED
• 2.25 HP Motor
• 0-10 MPH
• 1.5-10% Incline
• 17"x 50" Treadbelt
• One-Touch™ Speed Control
• Power Incline™ Control
• Adjustable Resistance Upper-Body Arms
• EKG™ Grip Pulse Sensor
• 4 Built-in Workouts
• CoolAire™ Fan
• SpaceSaver® Design
• 3-Year Motor Warranty

The Crosswalk LXS has some nice upgrades over the Cosswalk X.

For starters, you get an upgraded 4 window lcd console which tracks more information and looks lots nicer than the Crosswalk X.

Then there's the addition of a Cooaire fan that keep sweat to a minimum. Throw in a larger treadbelt (17" X 50") and 4 built-n treadmill workouts and you can see why the LXS is a far superior deal to the X.

At $499 the Proform Crosswalk LXS is a better value than the Crosswalk X

Recommended (walking only)

Proform Crosswalk X Treadmill Review

The Proform Crosswalk X Treadmill is a new model from Proform that's their lowest price treadmill with dual action controls (meaning you can workout your upper body while walking). The Crosswalk X comes in at $399.

Like most low price treadmills, the Crosswalk X is geared toward the very casual user.

If you're looking for a treadmill to do a very light and infrequent workout with, then you could consider the Crosswalk.

Here are the vital specs on the Proform Crosswalk X Treadmill, along with my review.

Proform Crosswalk X Review Specs

• 3-Window LCD
• 2.25 HP
• 0-10 MPH
• 1.5-10% Incline
• 16"x 45" Treadbelt
• One-Touch™ Speed Control
• Power Incline™ Control
• Adjustable-Resistance Upper-Body Arms
• EKG2™ Thumb Pulse Sensor
• ProTech™ Cushioning
• SpaceSaver® Design
• 3-Year Motor Warranty

The Crosswalk treadmill is really a budget level walking treadmill geared towards casual walkers only.

The treadbelt is small at 16" X 45". That's just not enough room to even consider running on this machine.

On the plus side, the Crosswalk offers adjustable resistance upper body arms that will provide an upper body workout. Compared to the entry level Proform Pacetrainer Treadmill, the Crosswalk X is better choice for the fact that it has the ability to perform the upper body workout.

Not Recommened (see Crosswalk LXS instead)
