Nordic Track Treadmill Review
August 16th, 2008 Posted by: Raymond Lam
Nordic Track treadmills are known for their range of features. Nordic Track has been around for years as the leader in workout equipment. These treadmills have a comfortable running surface on which to jog, walk or run and will give your whole body an aerobic workout without having to leave your home. They are made by Icon Health and Fitness and can vary in price from $1000-$4,000.
Some unique features of the Nordic Track treadmill are the generous size of the running deck and belt, good cushioning, and good console displays. All models are I-fit compatible which means the owner can download new workout routines directly from his or her computer. The electronic consoles actually offer a lot of preset programs and readouts. A unique feature is the Reflex Deck Technology, which is designed to absorb the weight of the user and spring back when the workout is over. All Nordic Track treadmills come with a heart rate monitor that is activated by gripping the handrails and a heart rate monitor that maintains target heart rate. A good indication of their quality is their warranty durations, which are 3 years for the drive motor, 2 years for treadmill parts and 1 year for labor.
Why invest in a NordicTrack treadmill with a commercial drive system motor? Well, for starters, it’s for the durability of these units. These units use the top of the line motor supplied with NordicTrack treadmills and they have invested time designing a durable, reliable and quiet motor. No one likes to feel like a train is going through their house while they’re using their treadmill. With a commercial-grade motor you will get a quieter workout that still has massive power.
This Nordic Track treadmill has a solid design with supreme durability. But don’t think for a second that they left out the bells and whistles. After the commercial-grade motor and extra long, non-slip tread belt they’ve fitted their 7000R treadmill with an EKG heart rate monitor, 0-12% grade power incline, a training zone indicator, automatic fan, iFit compatible and the whole unit holds up to a 300 lb weight capacity.
All Nordic Track treadmill models consist of heart rate monitors which are activated by gripping pulse sensors built into the hand rail. Nordic Track treadmill models come with pulse driven programs that respond to and maintain users target heart rate.
And this NordicTrack console may be one of the coolest one out there. The display screen holds four LED consoles. This allows you to see exactly what your current speed is, your time, distance, incline, pace, calories and carbs burned while a 7×10 screen displays how intense your workout is. The training zone indicator in the NordicTrack treadmill keeps you aware at all times if you are in your target zone in order to meet your fitness goals.
