ProForm Pro 9000 Review (2026): Big Screen, Full iFIT Experience

The Pro 9000 uses an alloy steel frame, a 20 × 60-inch deck and a folding design with a foot bar for assisted lowering. At about 218 lb, it is lighter than many large-screen treadmills while still supporting users up to 350 lb.

Owners describe a sturdy build and quiet operation. Independent testers found the deck stable underfoot.

Bottom line: sturdy and quiet for a folding smart treadmill.

The 3.6 HP motor drives speeds from 0 to 12 mph, and incline runs from 0 to 12%. Preset shortcut buttons on the display jump straight to a speed or incline, and owners describe the controls as responsive.

It handles regular walking, jogging and running well. On the previous generation, one hands-on tester found the motor strong with smooth acceleration and little frame flex even in fast intervals. Some independent testers see it as better suited to steady training than very high-volume daily marathon work.

Bottom line: strong, responsive performance for most home runners.

ProShox cushioning absorbs impact on every stride, which helps on long walks and easy runs. The 20-inch width suits most runners, though it is narrower than the 22-inch decks on the Sole F89 and NordicTrack Commercial 2450.

Independent testers found the cushioning a bit too bouncy for runners who prefer a firmer, road-like feel. If you mostly walk or jog, that softness is likely a plus. On the previous generation, testers found ProShox easy on the joints over long runs and noted that the 20-inch belt may feel narrow to long-striding runners.

Bottom line: soft and stable, but not firm enough for some runners.

Incline goes up to 12%, enough for hill walks and iFIT terrain workouts. With iFIT Pro, SmartAdjust adapts speed and incline in real time as it learns from your workouts, and ActivePulse adjusts both to keep you in your target heart-rate zone with a compatible Bluetooth monitor (sold separately).

The listing does not describe built-in workouts outside iFIT, so plan on the membership for structured training. There is no decline. On the previous generation, testers found incline changes smooth and stable but slow, about 46 seconds from 0 to 12%, which makes short hill repeats less snappy.

Bottom line: smart, automatic incline training, as long as you keep the membership.

The 16-inch touchscreen pivots, so you can follow running workouts or turn it for yoga and strength sessions off the treadmill. An iFIT Pro membership is required to access all iFIT content and connected features, including streaming services, and it covers your whole household.

Workouts sync with Strava, Garmin and Apple Health with the membership. Owners enjoy the iFIT workouts, but several describe the built-in speakers as weak, and independent testers were not impressed by the fan either. On the previous generation, testers also noted some screen glare and found that without the membership you are limited to manual mode and a few workouts.

Bottom line: an excellent screen for iFIT; budget for the membership.

Assembled, it measures about 73.2 × 34.6 × 60.7 inches. The deck folds up and a foot bar helps lower it smoothly, and owners like the fold.

Independent testers praised the assisted fold but found it unrealistic to move the treadmill around often given its size. Owners generally report quiet operation, which suits shared homes, though on an older generation with a larger screen testers measured about 76.5 dB and found the belt loudest during incline changes.

Bottom line: folds easily, but it is best left in one spot.

Some owners found assembly tricky, so plan for two people and some time.

The listed warranty is 2 years on the frame, motor, parts and labor. That is short next to the lifetime frame and motor coverage on the Sole F89 and Sole F80.

Bottom line: a short warranty is the main trade-off for the screen.
