Proform 300 ZLX Exercise Bike

The Proform 300 ZLX exercise bike is very user friendly. To control the bike in manual mode, all that is required is for the user to start pedalling! In manual mode, the resistance is adjusted using the resistance increase and decrease buttons on the console. Whilst exercising, the backlit LCD continuously displays the session time, distance, calories used and speed. There is a setting feature enabling the selecting of metric or imperial  units for speed and distance. In addition, console displays the current resistance level (1 to 12) as well as the user's heart rate when the handgrip pulse sensors are held for approximately 15 seconds.

Similarly, using the preset programmes is also very straightforward. The user may rotate through the available programmes by repeatedly pressing the Certified Personal Trainer Workouts button on the console. The centre of the display shows the programme profile and once the desired programme is displayed, it may be started by simply pedalling. The computer controls the resistance and a little arrow up / arrow down next to the speed reading provide the user with instruction to either speed up the pedalling or to slow down.

In addition to the preset programmes, the console has an iFit SD card slot. The cards are sold separately and each card contains an eight week training programme. Using an iFit SD programme a personal trainer talks the user through each programme using the 300 ZLX's built in speakers!

Leg levellers on the rear of the bike ensure 300 ZLX is is steady on slightly uneven floors and the transport wheels at the front ensure that the bike can be moved with relative ease.

In summary this is a solid, fully adjustable, smooth exercise bike packed full of features that ensure suitability both for those starting out a fitness routine as well as more advanced users. Highly recommend!
