ProForm E500 Strength System Reviewed

The ProForm E500 Strength System is a handy machine that will give you all the strength training you need. And it will only take 20 minutes a day to get it.  You can now build muscles in your arms, back, perform pull ups, dips, work your abs and much more.  The price for this machine comes in around $1600.  Is it worth it?  That's what will be discussed in this article.

First of all, let's talk about the amount of resistance.  The ProForm E500 Strength System offers 240 pounds of resistance to the user, with the option of upgrading to 340 pounds if that is your desire.  You can increase the resistance by simply pushing a button.  Each time you push the button the resistance will go up 1 pound.  This makes it very easy for you to dial in the exact amount of weight resistance needed for each exercise.  I particularly appreciated this feature.

The ProForm E500 Strength System also comes with a feature called the "electronic personal training tracker". What this does is automatically count your reps and sets for you.  You no longer have to keep track of them in your mind.  This is beneficial because it allows you to completely focus on your workout, and not on counting.  In fact, after you set your rep number, once you reach it the machine will beep twice notifying you that you have completed your set.

Some strength trainers do not offer a complete range of motion.  This is not so with the ProForm E500 Strength System. By having a machine that offers a complete range of motion, you get both positive and negative resistance which results in better definition and toning for your body.

Over 65 exercises can be performed on the E500.  It comes with nine different workout stations to assure full body workout.  My three favorite stations are the pull up station, the dip station, and the knee raise station.  While the E500 is not the cheapest solution on the market, it is a complete strength system that is easy to use, and can give you a full body workout in as little as 20 minutes a day.

Would I recommend it?  Yes I would.  While ProForm is not necessarily always associated with great construction and design for their fitness equipment, this is an exception.  Two muscular thumbs up for this strength system!
