ProForm Pro HIIT H14 Review and Specs:

The ProForm Pro HIIT H14 elliptical has a 325-pound user weight capacity, which is great because it means it can accommodate different users and it will provide a more stable workout. The ProForm Pro HIIT H14 machine dimensions are 39″ L x 29.25″ W x 66.7″ H, which means it’s a compact machine that won’t take as much space as your standard elliptical. You will be able to find a spot for it in your home gym very easily.

It also won’t be a problem to move the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 around because it comes with front-mounted transport wheels. It’s important to know that the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 home elliptical is not foldable, so you won’t be able to fold it up and store it in a closet.

To determine the necessary ceiling height for the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 you have to consider your ceiling height and the height of the tallest user. The ProForm Pro HIIT H14 ceiling requirement is 18 inches above the tallest user, so you will be good with a roof that’s 8 or 9 feet tall. The ProForm Pro HIIT H14 accommodates users up to 6 feet, so everyone will be able to make use of this machine. Now, let’s continue with the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 review to learn more about this incredible elliptical!

ProForm Pro Trainer HIIT H14 Monitor

This is where things start to get interesting for the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 because it has 34 built-in workouts, which is amazing. Additionally, the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 is iFit enabled and a 1-year family membership is included with your purchase. With iFit, you will have access to thousands of in-studio workouts led by instructors, which is a great feature that makes you feel like you have your own gym at home. There are even live-streaming classes and you’ll be able to run trails from all over the world and have an immersive experience.

The ProForm Pro HIIT H14 provides one user profile, but you’ll be able to create multiple user profiles for the iFit. This elliptical machine is fully stocked with all the workout programs you could ask for and they will allow you to reach your fitness goals. The ProForm Pro HIIT H14 console is 14 inches and it’s a smart HD touchscreen where you’ll be able to enjoy your workouts and trail scenery, not to mention you can keep track of your stats, including time, speed, distance, calories burned, incline/decline stats, and heart rate. The buttons on the console are also large and easy to use, so anyone can get the hang of it.

The ProForm Pro HIIT H14 also provides a charging port so you can charge your mobile devices. When it comes to heart monitoring, the Pro HIIT H14 provides two different options. You have wireless telemetry, which is the most accurate, and grip pulse sensors which are located on the handlebars. Overall, the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 is packed with features that make it incredibly powerful and effective when it comes to helping you increase your fitness level.

ProForm Pro HIIT H14 Stride and Incline

Unlike other machines of its kind, the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 stride is fixed with a 10-inch vertical and 5-inch horizontal elliptical path. What this means is that the machine provides a climbing motion that will allow you to tone your muscles, build more strength, and burn a lot more calories. This is essential to your fitness goals! Also, it will accommodate users up to 6 feet tall, which is great. The only drawback about the stride is that it’s fixed, not adjustable.

The ProForm Pro HIIT H14 incline is adjustable and it goes up to 20 degrees. When you’re enjoying an iFit instructor-led workout, they will be able to adjust your incline and resistance for a fully-immersive experience. Another great thing about the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 is that it offers 26 resistance levels, which can also be adjusted by your instructor. It’s great to have 26 resistance levels because it means you can challenge yourself in your workouts.

The resistance is also silent and magnetic, and the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 has a 32-pound flywheel. This means you’ll enjoy a super smooth and quiet workout so you don’t disturb anyone during your sessions. Overall, the stride and incline on the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 are two of the biggest features because they set this machine apart from other options on the market. It’s a powerful machine that provides a full-body workout that will make a huge difference in your fitness levels.

ProForm Pro HIIT H14 Handlebars and Pedals

The ProForm Pro HIIT H14 features multi-function handlebars that will transform a straightforward lower-body workout into a full-body experience that will help you engage your upper-body muscles as well. The handlebars will move your arms in a boxing-like motion and they are also multi-grip, so you’ll be able to try different positions to target specific muscles, whether that’s arms, shoulders, core, or back muscles.

The ProForm Pro HIIT H14 moving handlebars are also curved. There’s also a set of stationary handlebars and they feature pulse sensors so you can keep track of your heart rate during your workouts. Of course, stationary handlebars won’t engage your upper body muscles, so keep that in mind. On the good side, the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 handlebars feature built-in controls so you can easily access and change your resistance or volume without losing concentration.

Another important feature for any exercise machine of this kind is the pedals. The ProForm Pro HIIT H14 pedals are oversized and cushioned. This means they allow for different foot positions, will fit anyone, and provide great stability during your workout. The ProForm HIIT H14 pedals are also super comfortable, thus providing a great workout experience. Overall, the handlebars and pedals on this machine add a lot to the experience this elliptical provides. They make things a lot smoother and more engaging because they allow users to target different muscle groups at once and burn a lot more calories than with any other machine.

ProForm Pro HIIT H14 Accessories and Assembly

The ProForm Pro HIIT H14 is not just full of features, but also full of accessories that add to the trainee’s user experience. The ProForm Pro HIIT H14 comes with a built-in tablet holder so you can use your mobile devices and enjoy your entertainment during your workouts. There’s also a charging port on the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 that’s compatible with smartphones so you can charge your devices as you burn calories.

There’s also a water bottle holder on the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 so you can remain hydrated, which is great, and a cooling fan as well.

When it comes to assembly, it’s important to know that the ProForm Pro HIIT H14 can be quite cumbersome to put together. Plus, the machine weighs around 200 pounds and there are a lot of parts involved, so you will definitely need someone’s help if you want to get it done in no more than 2 hours. The instructions could be a bit more detailed, but you can find videos online to assist you. You’ll also need a Phillips screwdriver and nothing more. If you don’t want to assemble the machine on your own, you can hire a professional to do this for you. It will certainly make things easier for you!

ProForm HIIT H14 Warranty, Price, and Shipping

The ProForm HIIT H14 has a good warranty, though it could be better. The machine is protected with a 10-year warranty for the frame, a 2-year warranty for parts, and a 1-year warranty for labor. They also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you purchase this machine directly from ProForm.
