We will start by saying that NordicTrack A2550 PRO is in fact a newer version of the NordicTrack A2550 Treadmill. This machine’s review was done by us a couple of years ago (NordicTrack A2550 Treadmill Review). We were very interested to see what improvements have been done to the A2550 PRO version since our first review and finally we could satisfy our curiosity.

This model resembles a lot to another model we had the chance to test, NordicTrack A2750 Pro. Read this too before you make a decision.

The first difference we noticed is that its current offer price ($800) is much better than its predecessor’s ($1,000 – 2 years ago) .

5. Ifit Training Mode:

The treadmill is compatible with the iFit LIVE module, but it DOESN’T have it included in its price.

If you see this feature listed is just so you know you can buy it and add it for an additional price. The cost of the iFit module is listed at $49.99 on the NordicTrack website, plus add a $10/moth subscription for 12 months paid in advance.

If you buy it we have to mention it’s not easy to install but it’s worth you look into this option if you feel the need to vary the workouts.
