The NordicTrack C2000 Treadmill has a very impressive specification and is the cheapest on the market to our knowledge with an iFit SD card slot. You choose from a number of programmes depending on your requirements such as weightloss, improving fitness or body sculpting and then insert the card into the console.
The iFit programme now controls your treadmill and actually starts talking to you! Technology can be a wonderful thing and we feel this is a great feature to help you achieve your fitness targets - if you can used to the American accent, why don't they do Brummie or Geordie :0)
Anyway, enough of R2D2, what about the treadmill? Well, as you'd expect from NordicTrack it looks very stylish almost to the point of minimalist. It has a good sized belt with plenty of width and feels comfortable and stable under foot. You can adjust the feel of the deck with NordicTrack's Durastride slide cushion with 3 settings to replicate the sensation of the road through to grass.
The ability to change the shock absorption setting is very useful. If you're overweight or recovering from an injury the higher levels help to reduce stress on your joints. As you lose the weight and feel more confident the lower settings could be used to prepare you for road-running.
The NordicTrack C2000 comes with 15 programmes that include weightloss, performance and aerobic options plus whatever you choose to add if you buy an iFit card. You can measure your heart rate using either the grips on the handles or use the strap included in the price.
The console has a good sized display which is easy to read, the controls are straightforward with one touch speed and incline functions. It has speakers and a USB plug for your iPod or for use with the iFit workouts. The 2.00 HP motor is quiet and according to NordicTrack can be run non-stop for up to 5 hours! That should be enough for most runners we think or for all the family to go one after the other. The warranty is excellent, it comes With lifetime frame cover, 10 years on the motor and 2 years full on site parts and labour.
The NordicTrack C2000 is no doubt a quality running machine with state of the art technology to help you reach your fitness goals. The motor runs like a dream and the ability to change the feel of the deck is a great benefit. We love the iFit SD card function and know you will too - if you can put up with the accent!
