NordicTrack C 1630 PRO
Treadmill Review

Bristling with hi-tech features, this is the NordicTrack C 1630 Pro. Although sporting many innovations perhaps one of the most surprising features is the ability of the deck to decline. This is a facility which until recently could only be found on high end models.

This model is powered by a 3.25 CHP Durx Commercial Pro motor which drives a 20" x 60" tread belt. The belt is supported by a "Quad Flex" cushioning system to protect joints and relieve pressure on your knees and back, resulting in a more comfortable workout experience.

There are a total of 34 in-built workout programs consisting of 9 Calorie Workouts, 8 Intensity, 8 Speed, and 9 Incline Workouts. The Calorie Workouts have been designed to burn the maximum number of calories and all of the workouts are easy to select due to the simple navigation system.

This model is iFIT enabled. Connecting to your home wireless internet network it lets you customize your own fitness program, receive automatic workout downloads, and manage your profile online, and even workout with Jillian Michaels. (This feature requires a wireless home internet connection, and subscription to iFIT.com). 

The console incorporates a 8" back lit display. Speed, time, distance, pulse and calories burned are displayed together with a "RaceTrack" function that shows your progress in a track-style display. An iPOD or other MP3 player can be connected via a music port.

The product is covered by a lifetime warranty on the motor, frame, and deck with 5 yrs cover on all other parts (including electronics) and 2 yrs labor warranty.
