Check Price

Interactive training has become an integral part of the at-home fitness space. From training with world-class personal trainers to exploring running trails across the globe, there’s no doubt that it makes working out from home more fun. ProForm makes it easy buy with a three-year membership to iFit, valued at $1,404, and the machine comes effectively for free. Part of the ProForm+ program, select machines can be had for no more than the cost of the app, which would normally cost an extra $39 per month. Other ProForm machines in the program include: Carbon E10 Elliptical, Studio Bike Pro, Carbon HIIT H7, and the Pro R10 Rower. This is hard to turn down frankly, as with most machines you’d have to buy both the machine and the support app which would be perhaps double the price.

This deal makes it a budget-friendly treadmill designed for interactive training. What’s more, it will work in almost any home gym space. As well as being compact (at 33.5” wide by 66” deep by 57” tall), the folding SpaceSaver design means you can pack it away after use. And comfort isn’t comprised for this either. It features ISO Flex™ Cushioning, offering you fantastic cushioning throughout the whole running area to protect your joints from impact.

Its 2.6 CHP motor supports an incline grade up to 10% and top speed of 10 mph. This motor power makes it best suited for walkers and joggers, not serious runners. It’s also worth noting that the running area itself is fairly compact at 20” x 55”, and the treadmill features smaller 1.9″ balanced, non-flex rollers. This is a sacrifice you have to make for the compact design.

As the Carbon T7 was designed for interactive training with iFit, it features a 7” Smart HD touchscreen. Access to the iFit membership will give you access to a basically unlimited library of workout classes and Google Maps trails across the world. The iFit trainers can automatically control the speed and incline of your T7 treadmill during workouts, allowing for a truly immersive fitness experience.

What We Like:

• Free machine with iFit Family Membership: Valued at $39 per month, purchase the machine includes three years of the program.

• Compact: At just 33.5” by 66” by 57”, the Carbon T7 is a solid choice for small spaces.

What We Don’t Like:

• No Programs: While interactive training is the main focus of the T7, we would have still liked to see a handful of built-in workout programs. This would mean there would be some at the ready for if you decide not to continue the iFit^® Family Membership after the free, one-year trial expires.
• Running Area: The Carbon T7 is a compact model. This means you have to make some sacrifices. In this case, the running area is fairly small at just 20″ wide and 55″ long. This may be too short or uncomfortable for taller users.
• Labor Warranty: Although manufacturers offering one year of labor coverage is becoming more common, this labor warranty is still pretty short for our liking.

Our Verdict:

The ProForm Carbon T7 is a solid treadmill from a reputable brand. It’s the perfect match for those who want to walk and jog with iFit. If you fall into this category, you would be paying for the iFit membership anyway, offsetting some of the cost of the machine. It isn’t the most powerful or heavy-duty model on the market, but it’s durable and reliable enough for training at home, especially if interactive training is your top priority.

The T7’s compact, folding design makes it a perfect match for most home gym spaces, and its cushioning system allows you to protect your joints while working out. If you’re on a budget and looking for a reliable treadmill that allows for immersive interactive training, the ProForm Carbon T7 could be your perfect workout partner.
