Comments

• The Nordictrack Reflex 4500 Pro's main selling point is the Reflex running deck which Nordictrack is backing with a  lifetime warranty. Not only is the deck, frame and motor backed by an impressive warranty, Nordictrack is also offering 2 years parts warranty which is an entire year longer than what they used to offer in 2009 (which is usually one year parts on treadmills less than $1500). So in terms of quality and durability, we really can't complain. Motor, treadbelt, deck, warranty and weight capacity all look solid. The main gripe we have is that this treadmill seems to be lacking a little in the workout programs department. However, Nordictrack does offer a similarly priced alternative in the Commercial 1500 which though it may have a slightly inferior deck, it does offer a lot of built in programs and includes iFit Live with a 1 year subscription. If you insist on the Nordictrack Reflex 4500 Pro, then equipping it with iFit is only $170 more ($50 for module plus $9.99*12months=$170) which we think is a fair deal. But even without the iFit Live module, at a price of as low as $1099, it's a pretty decent price.

The NordicTrack Reflex 450 Pro treadmill is packed with features that will surely make you lose weight in no time.  It is compatible with the state-of-the-art iFit Live Technology that allows you different features of experiencing trails all over the world, automatic workout updates and downloads, and workout with Jillian Michaels.  Aside from this breakthrough technology in fitness machines, the NordicTrack Reflex 450 Pro treadmill has a 0-15 machine incline and a 0-12mph machine speed for a more intense workout with just a touch of a button.  The treadmill even has a compatible music port for your music devices and an Intermix Acoustics 3.0 sound system for a rich and powerful sound that would pump you up even during intense workouts.  

When it comes to quality and performance, the NordicTrack Reflex 450 Pro treadmill never falls short of features to assure you of worthiness for your money.  Its 3.0 CHP commercial motor for superior performance, a 20" x 55" commercial quiet treadbelt capable of handling many users, and a 350-lb. weight capacity are proofs of the quality of this treadmill.

Other features of the NordicTrack Reflex 450 Pro treadmill include built-in sensors for heart rate reading, Reflex Cushion technology for impact absorption, a SpaceSaver design for easy storage after workout, and a Grafixx display where you can view your workout progress.  With the NordicTrack Reflex 450 Pro treadmill, there is nothing more you can ask for.
