What comes to your mind when you hear the name “Proform”? Most probably, you think about treadmills. Why? Most likely, it’s because Proform revolutionized the fitness industry during its early years with space saver foldable treadmills.
Today, Proform continues with that tradition of innovation and quality. And besides treadmills, this brand has recently added other fitness equipment to its product lineup. These machines include ellipticals, exercise bikes, weight benches, and more.
With all that in mind, what is the story behind Proform? Well, Proform is one of the brands belonging to the ICON company. ICON was founded in 1977 by two business students, Garry Stevenson and Scott Watterson, at Utah State University. And today, ACON is headquartered in Logan, Utah.
ICON acquired Proform in 1999 and transformed it into a premium line of home fitness equipment. Other well-known fitness brands from ICON include FreeMotion Fitness, Health Rider, Weider, Ifit, Image, and Weslo. Hereunder, we will look deeper into the Proform brand.
