The ProForm Carbon Pro 9000 delivers the iFIT connected training experience at a lower price than the NordicTrack 1750 — it includes a 10-inch touchscreen, iFIT trainer-led workouts, 12% incline capability, and speeds up to 12 mph, all in a more budget-friendly package. For Canadians who want NordicTrack-quality iFIT training without the flagship price, this is the smart pick.
