Summary |
The Nordic Track company enjoys a solid reputation for quality construction and performance. The international company has now developed an iFit Live Friendly Incline Trainer that inclines up to 40 percent and declines up to 6 percent. It is advertised to adjust automatically to iFit Live workout instructions so that you can easily simulate the physical features of the cyber terrains of the iFit Live sessions. In fact, the iFit Live capabilities are the highlight of the Nordic Track X7i Incline Trainer, but some other features are worth mentioning. The 3.0 CHP DurX Commercial Pro Motor expands the weight load to 350 pounds of weight capacity. The X7i features a large 8 inch CoolAire Workout Fan and a patented cushioning in the tread base that responds to the body weight of the individual training on the X7i, according to the company.
The patented Reflex Cushioning is described as working similar to a car's suspension, reportedly keeping your joints protected during the workouts. The Nordic Track X7i Incline Trainer’s advertising also boasts that it is the only wireless connection between the Internet and home fitness equipment, a real trendsetter according to many online sources. The standard heart rate monitor and adjustable speed button are included.
