ProForm Carbon TLX Treadmill Review | Budget & User Friendly

The ProForm Carbon TLX Treadmill is a newer treadmill on the market. In this review, I go over what to expect and how it performed for our team. The Carbon TLX is a little unique to ProForm’s lineup of treadmills because it doesn’t have a touch screen. It is compatible to use with iFIT. In order to stream iFIT, you need to use the iFIT app on your phone.

iFIT offers thousands of trainer-led workouts that you can access in the app in a variety of disciplines for on and off-the-treadmill training. What’s nice about using iFIT with the Carbon TLX, is that the treadmill will automatically adjust when your phone is synced to the console.

On its own, the ProForm Carbon TLX is a great budget treadmill for running. It has a foldable deck to save you space in your home. It’s also fairly compact, yet accommodating for pretty much all running strides. There are also 2 transport wheels so you can move it around a little bit when you need to.

The 3.0 CHP motor is quiet and good for light to moderate amounts of running. It goes up to 12 mph and has a 12% incline range so you have plenty of options to vary your training. The deck is 20” wide and 60” long to be compact, yet spacious to run on.

The deck cushioning is supportive and helps to lessen the impact on your joints. It’s also a little more shock-absorbing than other entry-level treadmills. I think most users should find the cushioning to be comfortable, as well as the build overall to be stable and sturdy.

The console is simple with a 7” display. There are quick-adjusting buttons for interval training and a place for your water and device. This is a good treadmill if you just want to hop on and go, or if you want the option to stream from iFIT or other streaming apps on your phone or tablet. It’s also a treadmill that you could just park in front of a TV.

If you’re looking for a well-built budget treadmill for running, check out the Carbon TLX.

Hello... I have the TL version, basically is the same... You can unlock if you press IFIT button for 30 seconds... And will be standalone, I will try to use with Strava because I already pay for that subscription... Cheers...

I like it. It's so hard to find a basic no-frills treadmill without a huge screen blocking your view or requiring an obnoxious monthly fee to use. Some of us like to do our own thing on the treadmill and don't mind adjusting the speed and incline either. Thanks, TRG!

Are there any treadmills that have a display that shows a lap/track visual? I loved that feature on my old ProForm.

Can I see the calories burned and distance on the screen without buying the membership?

Not sure why recommending more expensive models for “extensive training and long distance running” when ProForm website states for Carbon TLX:

“The 3.0 CHP motor stays cool through the toughest workouts; creates high levels of inertia for a smooth, powerful feel; and promises a quiet in-home experience. Great for heavy use, this motor is built with high-quality components.”

Also, a different reviewer training for marathons fully recommends Carbon TLX for all runs.

Gonna get it and update this comment if it breaks.

Overall good review.

Is it normal for home treadmills to flex that like that? Shopping around for one. Thanks

[DAjugRnaut]

does it have foot levelers. the area that i need to put it is unlevel so it would be nice to have foot levelers.

[JesseJohnson-nljk]

Not counting IFIT, how many built in programs are there?

[mikew-jlcg]

Do the incline and speed go up in 0.5 increments or only 1.0 increments? Thanks.

[omlo]

Does it need to be unlocked with ifit every time, or just the very first time you turn it on?

[philshelton]

can i place a 13 inch macbook air on this?

2:17 he looks like he's about to roll his ankles.

[michaels]

So looking at horizon t202 and this Proform Carbon TLX. Half marathon training, 14 minute mile avg. Dont care about ifit or any console frills. Which one would fit this purpose better?

[JoeCnNd]

So, when you unlock it with your phone can you switch to the tablet afterwards?

[SamLazarusDrums]

Does the speed go up by .1 increments or just the full numbers?

[maaaaa]

What’s the difference between this and the pro-form Trainer 12.0

[warrencollings]

Is this tread mill motor loud? Quite? In the middle lol. Will it wake up my wife in the morning?🤣

[MilesBellas]

It needs Internet access before use ?!@
