"Packed with Excellent Features"
NordicTrack
just released the Elite 7000 treadmill. It is a heavy-duty machine
packed with an impressive selection of features. Every once and
awhile they come out with a machine that has countless options and
sell it for a very competitive. This machine is a perfect example.
Features on the NordicTrack Elite 7000 Treadmill...
Premium Sound System with Plug-in Port
- This is one of the best sound systems you will find on any treadmill,
and it also includes a subwoofer. It is set up to plug-in your iPod
and listen to your favorite tunes.
Note: As of 4/10/08 the Elite 7000 was on sale for $1,299, with shipping. Not a bad deal! Get the lastest price

20" x 60" Treadbelt
- Most treadmills come with a 54" long belt. The extra 6" on the
Elite 7000 belt can really make a difference. It is ideal for tall
individuals and people who like to sprint or interval train.
Wireless Heart Rate Control - Comes
with a wireless strap for your chest. Allows you to control the
level of your exertion by the rate of your heart. Experts claim
this is the optimum method of exercising.
ifit®
Workout Card Technology - The ifit technology is one of
the most innovative ideas to come out of the industry. For an extra
fee, you can purchase a serious of exercise programs created by
professional fitness trainers. It is a great way to get motivated,
burn off those extra calories, and get yourself in shape.
Each program offers an 8-week exercise series. They
control the speed and the incline of the machine. To further motivate
you, the programs include audio coaching. A personal trainer encourages
you while providing tips on how to maximize your workout.
2.5 Continuous Duty HP Motor -
This motor is sufficient for walkers and joggers. If you are a serious
runner you'll want to consider a treadmill with a 3.0 hp motor or
better.
Warranty - The 7000 comes with
one the best warranties available on a NordicTrack treadmill. Usually
I recommend extending the warranty; however, this one has a lifetime
motor, 5-year parts and 1-year labor coverage. Still, you may want
to consider upgrading to 2-year service coverage.
Adjustable
Cushioning Deck - You can change the absorption level from
soft to stiff. You can adjust for either a firm surface for a better
push off or a softer surface for less impact.
2.5" Rollers - These are good size
rollers, and the bigger the better. It will extend the life of the
belt, motor, bearings and the rollers.
20 Personal Training Programs -
Although these programs do not include audio coaching, you still
get a generous variety of training programs. Two are user defined,
allowing you to create your own exercise regiment.
Review - NordicTrack Elite 7000 Treadmill
When selling for $1,399, the Elite 7000 is a good
value. This is a solid machine for jogging and walking. The iFit
technology and the 20 training programs offer a variety of challenges.
And playing tunes on the sound system can help to pass the time
as you are burning calories and getting in shape.
This treadmill is one of the better values on their
site.
