Space Saver Design

Like many of Pro-Form's treadmills, the 740CS has a Space Saver design, which makes it easy to store in just about any room. When you are not using your machine, simply lift the belt to a vertical position and lock it in place. You can then roll the unit on its wheels to a storage area if desired.

Console Features

The LED console provides various information about your workout, such as distance traveled, laps completed, time elapsed and estimated calories burned. Built-in pulse sensors are located on the handles; place your hands on the sensors to check your heart rate. The 740CS comes with six pre-programmed personal trainer workouts. The treadmill will automatically adjust the incline and speed settings for you as you progress through the workout. You can connect the 740CS to your CD player and view iFit workouts where a virtual personal trainer coaches you through a session. The iFit programs can also be downloaded to your treadmill by connecting it to your computer.
