What We Don’t Like:

A small display-screen: this treadmill actually features a very small display-monitor that is very difficult to read compared to screens found on other models of ProForm treadmills. Additionally, this small-display only provides basic information and this implies that it won’t work for people in need of a bigger and more interactive display which can even be used for accessing the internet.
Limited user-weight capacity: the ProForm ZT4 treadmill can only support users with weights of up to 300lbs and this implies that anyone exceeding that weight-limit won’t be able to use this treadmill. In fact, most treadmill features a user weight-limit of 350lbs or 400lbs but the ProForm ZT4 is abit lower.

Our Verdict:

The ProForm ZT4 is an awesome entry-level treadmill that was designed to provide people with simple workout involving walking or light-jogging. So, you should know that the ProForm ZT4 is not a high-end treadmill and its features are abit low but you will still be able to achieve an efficient and effective workout on it. All in all, I would recommend this treadmill to someone in need of an affordable, entry-level fitness-machine intended for walking or light-jogging at home.
