NordicTrack C 1800 Treadmill

Pros: Easy to use programs. Simple to set up.
Cons: The console could be more user friendly.

Six months ago I was at Sears looking for some exercise equipment when my wife mentioned we should look at treadmills for cardio training. I wasn't really into treadmills but I humored my wife and looked at them anyway. There were some nice models ...

Pros: Very easy to operate, Runs smoother than some commercial grade ones I have used
Cons: Heart rate monitor does not give accurate reading.

I bought my treadmill at Sears after doing alot of research online and at various fitness and retail stores. When purchasing a man behind me told the cashier that he had seen it on the Nordicktrack website for 10% cheaper than the sale price....

I just bought a used NordicTrack C1800 and am so happy with my decision to get this one. It offers more features than I could ever use. I feel like I have a health club caliber machine in my home. I like the fact that when I'm done exercising, I can fold it up and it doesn't require a lot of space. The console offers all sorts of features and I can easily change the speed and incline of the treadmill and get continuous exercise feedback including my heart rate. In addition to the manual modes there are four pre-set workout programs and you can even create your own custom workout programs and store them in memory for future use. With the cable included, you can connect the treadmill to your music system or computer, VCR, TV and play iFIT.com CD's and exercise programs. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to buy a treadmill for their home or office.
