Strengths:
1) iFit Live Compatible
If you have wireless Internet in your home you can connect your treadmill to the Internet through iFit Live. It's powered by Googlemaps and Google terrain so that you can run or walk different trails all over the world.
You can customize and download your own workout programs and workout with Jillian Michaels from 'The Biggest Loser' - where she coaches you through your workout.
You can also race against your Facebook friends, track your activity and nutrition online and even download new daily workouts.
2) Extra Long 60" Belt
This is Nordic Track's longest treadbelt and for the price, this is a great value. You can pick up your pace without feeling like you're falling off your treadmill. Runners and taller users will especially like this feature.
3) iPod Port With Speakers Built Into the Console
You can plug your iPod or MP3 player into the built-in audio jack and listen to your favorite music or audiobooks while you workout. This can make your workout a lot more enjoyable.
4) 16 Built In Workouts
In addition to iFit Live, you also have 16 built in workouts. There are 10 workouts designed by a certified personal trainer designed to get you fast results. There are also 6 calorie-burning workouts designed to burn maximum calories.
Weaknesses:
The A2350 may be a great price but it's still a starter treadmill - one of the most basic units Nordic Track makes. So don't expect a commercial grade treadmill like a Sole for instance.
Also, if you don't have wireless internet in your home, you won't get the full use out of the iFit Live capability.
Overall Conclusion:
The NordicTrack A2350 treadmill is currently one of Nordictrack's bargain buys. It gives you core basics of a good treadmill: decent motor, solid warranty, 12% incline and 325 lb weight capacity.
Plus you also extra features to enhance your workouts - like the iPod docking station, heart rate monitor and iFit Live Capability.
Where To Buy At A Discount:
You can buy the A2350 direct from the Manufacturer. They currently have it at a low sale price plus you can get Free Shipping which will save you about $150.
