Good points

• reflex cushion technology is the most shock absorbing belt available from Nordictrack
• iFit card technology means potentially unlimited number of workout programs
• equipped with interplay music port means you can work out to your favorite tunes
• one of the better built treadmills by Nordictrack and their deck is backed with a lifetime warranty

Bad points

• Nordictrack might have overestimated the maximum weight capacity on this one
• prohibitively expensive at $1999 MSRP but even at $1000 if it goes on sale, it would still not be considered a true bargain

Comments

• A slight upgrade in quality and features, the Nordictrack Reflex SR features the same cushioning technology as the Apex 4500. Both of these treadmills use the most advanced and joint friendly cushioning technology that Nordictrack has to offer. The retail price is a little on the high price but even if it is on sale, it would have to be a fair bit less than $1000 to make this treadmill truly competitive.

Keep your body in shape with the innovative treadmill from NordicTrack. The NordicTrack Reflex SR Treadmill helps you shed those pounds and reach your workout goals at the comfort of your home. It is built to perform its best especially with the equipment's features. With the Solaris Illumination Control, you easily track your progress by precisely illuminating the portions of the console you are using. The console also has a 7x15 workout matrix that allows you to see your progress and what to expect next.  Its 7x30 Scrolling CrossTrainer Display actually displays your workout graphically and tells you when to perform crosstraining exercises.

You also get personalized feedbacks because of the individual weight input. Your calories are calculated, and you burn it based on your actual weight instead of the average pounds usually used in other treadmills. It also has features including 20 personal trainer workouts from aerobic, weight-loss or performance workouts that works by automatically adjusting your speed and incline, increasing your training's intensity. The 2 heart rate workouts help you to stay on your targeted heart rate zone with the speed increasing to raise your heart rate and vice versa. It is also equipped with NordicTrack's best features like its powerful machine, the spacious heavy-duty treadmill belt, and its precision rollers. It could also accommodate a 350-lb. weight capacity.
