The PRO-FORM 295 CSE is an elliptical fitness machine designed for home use, offering a selection of features to make workouts more effective and enjoyable. It is not intended for commercial, rental, or institutional settings.

Function Description:

The elliptical allows users to engage in cardiovascular exercise by simulating a walking or running motion without the impact on joints. It features pedals that move in an elliptical path and upper body arms for a full-body workout. The console provides continuous exercise feedback, including speed, resistance, time, distance, calories burned, and heart rate. Users can choose between a manual mode, where resistance is adjusted manually, or preset workouts that automatically change resistance and prompt users to maintain a target speed. The console also supports connectivity with tablets via Bluetooth for recording and tracking workout information using the iFit® Bluetooth Tablet app. Additionally, it has a sound system to connect personal audio players and listen to music or audio books during exercise.
