This is an interesting system that counts and displays how many grams of carbs you burn during an exercise.
The following functions and features are also included
iFIT Workout Card Compatible, Space Saver with Lift Assist Shock, Auto Breeze Fan(s), High Resolution Display and a Workout Intensity Meter.
Conclusions
This machine is decent and has some cool features that are worth the money spent. It is specially designed for those who want to combine training and entertainment.
The unit comes with a massive box which is extremely heavy and it may take a while until you assemble it.
The built in fans are nice, but don’t imagine you will be able to run with the wind blowing in your hair 🙂 They are not that powerful.
ViewPoint 3000 is a big and serious treadmill that takes up a lot of space (even when it’s folded). Be aware of these details if you decide to buy it.
