The NordicTrack Treadmill Desk Platinum Review

The NordicTrack Treadmill Desk Platinum lets you work out while you work and features a folding design with adjustable desk height and iFIT capability with Bluetooth enabled smart devices.

The NordicTrack Treadmill Platinum Desk represents the latest in treadmill technology benefiting users from healthy exercise while simultaneously working at a desk. This Platinum version offers a more powerful motor and power incline over the entry model.

The desk  comprises of a substantial, mahogany grained, top with a rounded, plastic edge panel which houses the control buttons, display screen and grab rail. The edge panel has been engineered so as not to encroach too much on the available desk space.

The desk top is supported by two metal uprights which can be raised or lowered. This allows the height of the desk surface to be adjusted so that it is at the ideal height for the user.

The walking surface comprises of a 60″ x 22″ belt which is driven by a 3.0 CHP (continuous duty) motor. The speed of the belt can be regulated in 0.1 MPH increments with a starting speed of just 1 MPH.

This model is iFIT enabled. A Bluetooth device such as a tablet can be connected to access the iFIT account to add extra functionality, and engage your interest. This feature requires a home, wireless internet connection and subscription to iFIT.com available separately.

The product is underwritten by a lifetime frame and motor warranty, 2 yrs parts warranty and a 1 year labor warranty.

Here are the main features:

… drive motor

The tread belt is driven by a powerful 3.0 CHP motor. This unit makes use of high-grade wiring, insulation, and a thermal cut-off switch. The unit is constructed using high-end, commercial bearings and brushes to ensure reliability and long life. 

The motor is also dynamically spin-balanced and extensively tested for superior performance in vibration and noise in order to deliver a smooth and quiet operation.

… work desk

The key feature of this treadmill is it’s integrated work desk. The treadmill desk is able to serve as a work station and provides a stable platform to support, books, paperwork or a  laptop computer. 

The 1″ thick, mahogany grained, desk top measures 40″ x 18″ and is bounded on it’s front edge by a contoured, plastic panel with an integrated grab rail.

On the right hand side of the panel are the control buttons to adjust the speed of the walking surface together with the LCD display screen.

… welded steel frame

The equipment is based upon a welded steel frame that contributes to the overall strength and rigidity of the unit.

The innovative design of the frame effectively isolates any movements being transmitted to the uprights, thus keeping the desk top stable.

… adjustable desk height

The desk is supported by twin chrome uprights which can be raised or lowered to adjust the height of the work desk.

This will enable the user to adjust the height of the desk top in order to obtain the perfect height for reading books, papers or operating a lap top computer while walking comfortably on the tread belt.

… treadmill controls

A cleverly designed control panel built into the leading edge of the desk  top allows the user full control over the treadmill functions without encroaching too much upon the available desk space.

Clearly labelled start and stop buttons are present together with speed and incline buttons that offer quick, easy adjustment.

The user is able to vary their speed from 0 to 8 MPH in increments of 0.1 MPH while the deck incline can be varied from 0 to 10 %.

… desktop  integrated display

Built into the control panel is an LCD display panel that allows the user to monitor their progress. The display tracks the following data:

TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES, CALORIES PER HOUR, INCLINE, SPEED

… USB charging station

The user is able to charge their phone or tablet device with a USB charging station built into the console.

… iFIT Bluetooth Enabled

This treadmill is iFIT enabled. A Bluetooth device such as a tablet can be connected in order to access an iFIT account.

Customized workouts, Google Map generated routes and automatic stats tracking add extra functionality and engage the user’s interest.

It should be noted that this feature requires a home, wireless internet connection and membership to iFIT.com which is sold separately.

… safety key

A safety key and lanyard is provided with the treadmill desk. In order for the equipment to be operational the key must be present in the control console. This means that with the key withdrawn the unit cannot be operated by unauthorized users such as small children.

The safety key has a lanyard with a small plastic clip attached to one end which can be clipped onto the users clothing. If the user were to accidentally trip or fall while on the treadmill the key is pulled away from the console causing the walking belt to slow to a stop.

... folding design

This is a folding or “space saver” model which means that when not in use the equipment can be folded into a near upright position where it will then occupy a lot smaller floor area.
