Good points

• If the Reflex TR came with a wireless heart rate monitor, it'll really have all the features that you can ask for in a treadmill
• Built in TV
• Long and wide treadbelt (20"x60")
• Big rollers, lifetime warranty on deck, high weight capacity all suggest a treadmill of the highest build and quality

Bad points

• Retail price is too high, sale price may not be attractive enough
• Basic warranty should be longer considering the price

Comments

• If price is not an issue, then the Nordictrack Reflex TR is perhaps one of the finest choices available from Nordictrack. (Although if price really wasn't an issue, then you probably consider the other commercial only brands instead of Nordictrack which primarily builds home fitness products.) Unfortunately, the starting retail price of $3000 is just ridiculously high and even when it goes on sale, it might still be priced out of most consumer's reach. At $1200 or even $1400, we have a winner but not at $2999.

Aren't you sick of treadmills breaking? Just about the worst thing that can happen in your quest for fitness is when the equipment you rely on to help you breaks down on you. That won't happen with the Reflex TR treadmill by Nordictrack. To back up their claims, Nordictrack offers an impressive lifetime deck warranty. Not only does the  Reflex TR have one of the strongest decks, it is also equipped with the Reflex Cushion technology which absorbs the unwanted impact while running.

If the deck and cushion technology isn't enough to impressive, how about the 3.5 CHP Durx commercial pro motor? Not only is this motor stronger than most other motors found on the market today, it is also one of the most smooth and quiet motors you'll find anywhere. You'll definitely need a powerful motor when you're powering an impressive spacious (20"X60") and high quality commercial grade belt. The 350 lb weight capcity is no pushover either. While most home treadmills on the market today are flimsy, the Reflex TR is like an oasis in a desert.

Make no mistake, the Nordictrack Reflex TR is a solidly built treadmill but it's also more than that. It's also an entertainment powerhouse. With a built in TV and support for your MP3 player, it's the ultimate in the lineup of luxurious treadmill offerings from Nordictrack. And we haven't even mentioned the large number of workout programs coupled with even more programs when you make use of the iFit workout card technology.
