NordicTrack Reflex SR Treadmill Review

This model uses iFIT Workout Card Technology. Each card is designed by a certified personal trainer and plugs directly into the NordicTrack Reflex SR’s console, automatically adjusting your speed and incline, while the voice of a personal trainer takes you through each workout.

The running surface is provided by a 20″ x 55″ tread belt that is driven by a 2.25 CHP DurX motor. The shock absorption is provided by NordicTrack’s famous “Reflex” cushioning system that absorbs impact without sacrificing durability.

There are 20 personal trainer workouts that automatically adjust the incline and speed of your treadmill, each focusing on an aerobic, weight loss, or performance goals. 4 Create & Save Workouts let you design up to 4 customized workouts and saved for future use. There are also 2 heart rate workouts to keep your heart rate in the target zone.

A weight-input feature is included that allows you to obtain personalized feedback during your workout. The treadmill’s computer allows you to enter your weight so that it can produce its calorie-burn calculations based on your actual weight, as opposed to an average number of pounds.

Monitoring your heart rate ensures that you’re always in the right training zone for your goals. This treadmill is equipped with a Club-Design CardioGrip heart rate monitor. This helps you make the most out of every workout by monitoring your heart rate via sensors that are built into the handlebars. You can get a more effective workout, burn more fat, and improve your cardiovascular health.

1-Touch control is used to change speed, allowing you to instantly change the speed of the treadmill between 0-12 MPH with the single touch of a button. You can decrease your speed immediately when you need a rest or increase it instantly for a challenging workout.

1-Touch control technology is also used to change the incline with the single touch of a button, instead of tediously scrolling through options as you would with traditional incline controls. The incline can be adjusted between 0 deg. up to 12 deg. of grade.

An “AutoBreeze” workout fan is mounted in the console. This fan is very quiet in operation and automatically changes airflow to match your workout speed. If you prefer a specific setting, you can select low, medium, or high. This innovative technology will help you find the right temperature so you can stay cool and comfortable during your workout.

The built-in “Intermix Acoustics 3.0 EQ” Sound System allows you to listen to music during your workout. Featuring 3″ high-excursion drivers, you can simply plug in your iPod or MP3 player to the universal connection.

The running deck on this model has a 350 lb weight capacity, which should suit the majority of users.

This treadmill has been designed with a folding frame that enables the running deck to be raised into an upright position after the workout, occupying a smaller floor area. This is a useful feature if you are short on room to store your treadmill.
