Proform has discontinued manufacturing of other 585 model treadmills, however you can still find these machines on sale new as retailers still have them in stock.  The newly designed 585 CS is on the low end price-wise and is often sold at a deep discount.

Despite being priced very low, the 585 still has above-basic features to enhance your workout routine.  The Proform 585 operates on a 2.5 horsepower motor.  This a very high quality motor for a machine designed for at home use.  Even though it is high powered, the motor for the 585 is low on noise.

In addition to the high powered motor, the Proform 585 has a wider than average deck, which allows for more natural movement.  The 585 deck also provides a smooth workout surface and easily registers speed transitions without any jarring.  The deck has premium shock absorption that reduces impact on your joints when compared with road running and other comparably priced treadmills. The 585 also features a convenient folding feature for storing the treadmill when it is not in use.  This is a fantastic feature for those who need to conserve space in their home.  This feature can be easily utilized by one person.

The Proform 585 also features a great console that allows for simple workout programming and provides user feedback.  The 585 interface displays workout specific data such as the speed, calories and fat calories burned, as well as shows the distance traveled.  The console allows the user to easy track and monitor their progress during an individual workout and compare various aspects of their overall fitness regimen.  In addition to these features of the console, the 585 also has an accurate heart rate monitor that is simple to use while working out.  The 585 also has excellent speakers and is iPod compatible, so you can listen to your favorite music, audio book, or podcasts while you run, walk or jog on the treadmill.  If you'd rather read a book or magazine than listen to an audio book, the 585 also features a rack for holding reading materials.  And to ensure you stay properly hydrated, the 585 has two easy to reach cup holders.

In addition to eight pre-loaded workouts, with the 585 CS you'll have access to a great array of downloadable iFit workouts.  These workouts help you to target specific areas and to keep you from becoming bored with your usual fitness routine.  The great technology of iFit workouts controls the speed and incline of the treadmill during a workout for an interactive fitness experience.
