A warranty is an important feature on any fitness equipment, as it provides the customer with the assurance that their equipment is covered for any defects or manufacturing defects. The ProForm XP 690T includes a lifetime warranty on the frame and a lifetime warranty on the motor. In addition to this, the XP 690T is also covered by a 1-year parts and labor warranty.

proshox

Many fitness experts are concerned about the potential impact of constant treadmill use on joint tissue. To address this issue, the ProForm XP 690T also includes the ProShox damping feature. This feature allows the machine to take some of the impact off the user’s joints. In some studies, this feature was able to reduce joint impact by up to 32%.

In addition to reducing joint stress, ProShox cushioning is also designed to provide a comfortable running surface for extended workouts. This can allow a user to use the treadmill longer before experiencing fatigue, which also increases training efficiency.
