It comes with a free 30-day iFit trial. After the trial, an iFit Family membership costs $39 per month or $396 per year for up to 5 users. The Individual membership plan costs $15 per month or $180 per year.

It's a worthwhile investment for those who are serious about their fitness journey and want a reliable, high-performing machine.

Ceiling Height Requirement

The step-up height for the ProForm Pro 9000 Treadmill at 0% incline is 9.70 inches from floor to deck. At a 12% incline, the height is about 13 inches from the floor. We recommend a ceiling height of at least 6 inches above the height of the taller user at the maximum incline.

User Experience

We appreciate the roomy tread belt, which provides plenty of space to walk, jog, or run comfortably. Feel at ease during workout sessions without worrying about stepping off the belt accidentally.

iFit integration further enhances the workout experience. You have a vast library of interactive workouts led by world-class instructors.

The Google Maps integration is next-level, allowing you to train in locations across the globe.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced runner looking for new challenges, the iFit program has something for everyone.

The low noise level of the ProForm Pro 9000 Treadmill is another factor that contributes positively to the user experience. The quiet motor allows you to enjoy workouts without disturbing others in the household or being distracted by the machine's noise.

Maintenance Tips: Keeping Your ProForm Pro 9000 Treadmill in Peak Condition

To keep your treadmill running smoothly, there are a few maintenance tips I'd recommend:

  1. Dust off the treadmill after each use. Clean the belt, deck area and console.
  2. Lubricate the belt and deck every few months to reduce friction and extend treadmill life.
  3. Check the alignment and tension of the belt regularly. Refer to your manual to adjust it correctly if it’s off-center, too tight or loose.
  4. Look for signs of wear or damage. If the belt is worn out, it should be replaced.
  5. Secure the Power Cord and Safety Key before each use.
  6. Schedule professional servicing if you notice any unusual noises or functioning.
