- 18 digital resistance levels to choose from, to easily target a number of muscle groups

Our Least Favorite Features
- The console does not include a built-in fan
- No wi-fi connectivity or other advanced entertainment features
- Users must manually adjust the incline; does not feature power incline
- Smaller footprint at 67”long by 25”wide
- Front drive design makes the user have to lean forward a little more than rear drive, which can be uncomfortable for some
- The cost; for the same price, you can purchase a trainer with more features and options
The Bottom Line
The Pro-Form ZE 6 elliptical trainer still comes with the Silent Magnetic Resistance technology and solid steel constructed frame that Pro-Form is known for; making this model one of the quietest and most durable trainers on the market, but there is not much beyond that. The bottom line is that this is a great trainer but you can get more for your money with other trainers in the series.
