Conclusions For NordicTrack A2550 Treadmill Review

Obviously the main advantage of the A2550 unit is the 22’’ wide belt. This belt gives extra space and makes jogging more comfortable. For a machine that costs 999$ this is a serious advantage.

We also appreciate the electronic features: Fitness Age Center, Custom Workout center or the iFit Workout Card Technology. With these training sessions are less boring.

As plus points the unit is fold able, allows plugging in the iPod and can be used by heavier persons. As a minus you get a short warranty for parts.

With a lifetime warranty for frame and motor, plus a 325 lbs max weight this becomes a pretty decent treadmill. It’s not something we would recommend to dedicated trainers but it’s a good solution for light joggers.
