Warranty

The ProForm 995i offers a solid warranty, when you compare it with other fitness brands on the market. There is a lifetime frame and motor warranty, which is rather impressive. There is also a limited three-year warranty on all additional parts and one-year coverage on labor.

Shipping and Assembly

The shipping cost varies based on your location and chosen type of delivery. We recommend that you search for online stores that can offer you free shipping to help save some money. There is no direct in-home delivery and setup option when you order from ProForm directly. If you purchase your treadmill from a local shop or an online retailer, some of these companies may offer in-home delivery and setup for an additional fee. However, most brick-and-mortar shops and online stores will offer curbside delivery.

The assembly is fairly straightforward, however it can still take couple of hours to complete. When assembling the treadmill, you need few tools such as hex key, adjustable wrench and Phillips screwdriver. All you need is to follow the step-by-step instructions outlined in the assembly manual. It takes two people to carry and assemble the treadmill. You can expect 3 to 4 hours to completely assemble the treadmill with all computer systems and on-board extras.
