What Makes The ProForm Power 995i Over Shadow The Sole F63?
So many aspects of these two treadmills are the same. But a major feature of the ProForm SMART Power 995i that makes it a better home treadmill than the F63 from Sole is the subscription service.
The iFit subscription service takes your onboard treadmill workouts to a whole other level. The ProForm treadmill goes way beyond outdated standard workouts like the 10 programs found on the Sole treadmill. The iFit library has hundreds of videos for running on your treadmill. During each video, your trainer takes control of your treadmill (if you want them to) to alter your incline and speed settings so you can focus solely on your workout.
Studio/Group Running Classes
The iFit library has an ever-growing selection of studio-style running classes that focus on a wide range of fitness goals. Interval, speed, HIIT, hill climbs and more are coached in these group classes. But your world-class personal trainer has created a unique workout for each video so you’re not bored with the same 10 pre-programmed workouts.
Scenic Trainer-Led Runs Around The World
Follow your iFit trainer on an intense run through the frigid tundra of Iceland or hiking along the rugged mountains of Patagonia. Trainers talk you through your workout, offering tips for better form and more efficient exercise. They engage your mind by teaching you about the scenic surroundings, history, and geography of the area. They even stop from time to time to engage with the locals around them. Even better, these trainers are truly motivating and their conversation makes the workout speed by.
Google Maps Tool
You can use Google Maps on your treadmill to chart any course for your indoor training. Have a race coming up? Plug the route into your Google Maps tool and you can run the same race all the way up until the big day. Your treadmill will automatically adjust the incline to mimic the real-world terrain you’ll face on race day. This is a great training tool for serious athletes.
Cross-Training
iFit also has available workouts for cross-training. Step off the treadmill for upper body conditioning, strength training, stretching, and yoga. Some workout videos will also combine your running workouts with HIIT and strength training to truly diversify your workouts.
