Strengths:
1) iFit Live - iFit Live is the newest technology that Nordic Track is putting on a few of their 2010 models.
If you have wireless Internet in your home you can connect your treadmill to the Internet. It's powered by Googlemaps and Google terrain so that you can run or walk different trails all over the world.
You can customize and download your own workout programs and workout with Jillian Michaels from 'The Biggest Loser' - where she coaches you through your workout.
You can also race against your Facebook friends, track your activity and nutrition online and even download workout videos.
2) iPod/Mp3 Port With Speakers Built Into the Console - You can plug your iPod or MP3 player into the built-in audio jack and listen to your favorite music or audiobooks while you workout. This can make your workout a lot more enjoyable.
3) 22 Workout Programs - In addition to the iFit Live capability, you also have 16 built in workouts that adjust the speed and incline of your treadmill to meet your goals.
There are 6 distance workouts (1 mile, 5 k, 5 mile, 10 k, 10 mile and half marathon), 10 performance workouts and 6 weight loss workouts.
4) 60" Long Belt - This is one of the longest belts Nordic Track makes. So runners, taller users or those who just want more room to move will appreciate the extra space on this treadmill belt.
5) Heart Rate Monitor - Stay in your target heart rate range by gripping the hand grip heart rate sensors on the front bar of your treadmill. Again, fairly standard but still nice to have.
6) Touch Screen Display - With this screen, you just slide your finger over it to choose your workout features, audio and display options. It's bright, easy to read and pretty advanced for a treadmill at this price point.
Weaknesses:
We would have like to see a longer parts warranty on the A2750 - parts and labor are only covered for 1 year. However the warranty is still above average and you can get extended warranty coverage upon checkout.
Overall Conclusion:
The Nordic Track A2750 Pro treadmill is one of the new Nordic Track 2010 models. It offers some great basics (2.8 HP motor,decent cushioning, strong deck with 350 lb user weight capacity and heart rate monitor). The extra long deck is also a bonus for taller users or runners who want more room to move.
Then there's the fun stuff: iPod jack with built in speakers, high resolution display and of course, iFit Live. If you want to run or walk over different terrains, download more workouts including videos, workout with Jillian Michaels or just track your activity online, you'll love this treadmill.
Being new, it hasn't had much time to prove itself yet. However given the current sale price, it's a bargain. If it stays this cheap, we think this will be a very popular treadmill this holiday season.
Where To Buy At A Discount:
While it's fairly new, you can find the Nordic Track A2750 Pro treadmill direct from the Manufacturer. They're currently throwing in Free Shipping which will save you about $150.
