NordicTrack Apex 4500 – 2008
Overview
UPDATE: The Apex 4500 is a 2008 treadmill that is no longer being sold. Browse through our latest NordicTrack treadmill reviews to find the new treadmills that might appeal to you.
Apex 4500 comes with a new cushioning system which makes this machine one of the most attractive options on the market in 2008. Most treadmills in its class offer advanced shock abortion systems, but the Apex 4500 takes this feature to the next level.
This treadmill comes also with a good motor and attractive built in workouts. The console has a nice design and we simply love the blue ClearView Backlit Display. The successful iFit workout card system is also a hit.

What makes this model stand out is the Reflex Deck Cushioning. This system absorbs the energy and propels the user into the next stride. It also ensures a better joint protection.
