- Shorter stride at only 18 inches
- Only one year warranty on parts and labor
The Bottom Line
The Pro-Form SmartStrider 535 is incredibly budget-friendly, but of course you get what you pay for, which means no adjustable or customizable options and an incredibly small LCD display with few entertainment options. The flywheel weight and weight capacity are also concerns. If you are a relatively small person, the low flywheel weight and 275 pound weight capacity may not matter too much to you, but the heavier the flywheel weight, the smoother the ride, so this trainer can still be quite bumpy and noisy despite your size. The bottom line is, if you are looking to save money and no one else plans to use this trainer, the 535 is a compact trainer that is a good value for small spaces.
