Speed and incline are automatically changed during the present workouts. You can override them manually if you feel the exercise intensity level is too much for you.

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.

This is a folding treadmill which you can fold, unfold and move around. The process to assemble it is available in your user manual. Still pay attention when you use this feature: this is a heavy machine!

You can plug in any audio device and enable audio through the console’s speakers.

This is definitely a regular training machine. You buy it to do your daily 30 minute exercise and that is pretty much it.

An improvement is the premier warranty, which we can assure is often met with other brands as well. It’s not just this treadmill that is special. But it’s very helpful. We haven’t really tested Support efficiency (we didn’t need to) but we really hope they are fast when you need them to come to your home and give technical assistance as they promise in their warranty.

This is a machine for regular trainers and most use it to lose weight or keep their weight under control. This is why we want to point a disadvantage that could affect these users. You don’t have the option to create your individual user with your weight and age so you track accurately the calories burned. The readings you will see on the display are just some numbers calculated based on a medium weight and age. So don’t create your diet following those numbers. You’ll be in for a big surprise 🙂

During our tests we had to calibrate the treadmill incline as it wasn’t changing properly. This was the first time we had to do this process so we decided to mention the steps here, in case you will ever need it.

This is how you proceed: hold down the Stop button and the Speed increase button, insert the key into the console, and then release both of them. Press the Stop button and then press the Incline increase or decrease button. When you do this the treadmill should automatically rise to the maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. It may not work from the first time, but keep repeating the process until you notice the treadmill changes incline properly.

We used the iFit Module on the NordicTrack X7i Incline Trainer and it worked perfectly with that console. You can look into buying the separate iFit LIVE module for the A2550 PRO if interested. But note that to install or to use it you need some technical knowledge. Also this is a beta version software. This means they are still in the process of upgrading the solution.. It’s not yet complete nor perfect.

The machine is heavy to move or to fold. Pay attention to this process.

To conclude we are not that amazed by its features, but the machine proved to be robust enough to handle our usage pretty well.

These are most of the notes we find worthy to be mentioned in our review’s conclusions. If you have more comments to share about your experience with this treadmill, feel free to send us your thoughts.
