FAQ
How does the NordicTrack Commercial 2450 change incline and speed on its own?
With Follow Trainer mode, iFIT automatically syncs the machine to the session. As your trainer climbs, the deck rises, and as the trail descends, the deck drops, with speed shifting according, following the pace your trainer sets. With the NordicTrack Commercial 2450, every stride syncs to a real-world location in real time.
What is SmartAdjust on a NordicTrack iFIT?
By tracking your goals and performance over time, SmartAdjust reads where you are today and sets each session to the right level to move you toward where you want to be tomorrow. With the system calibrating each workout, all you have to worry about is showing up.
How is iFIT ActivePulse different from SmartAdjust?
While SmartAdjust measures progress across sessions, ActivePulse works inside a single session. Through a compatible heart monitor (sold separately), your pulse tells the NordicTrack Commercial 2450 how hard to push, and the speed and incline shift in real time to maintain your target zone.
How fast and how steep does the NordicTrack Commercial 2450 go?
Speed climbs to 14 MPH, equivalent to a 4:17 mile. The deck inclines as much as 12% and declines to -3%, so a trainer’s ascent and descent are reproduced on the deck itself rather than simulated on screen.
Does the NordicTrack Commercial 2450 fold for storage?
Yes. With its SpaceSaver design, the NordicTrack Commercial 2450 folds with hydraulic lift assistance, stowing the running surface upright between sessions. This reduces its footprint from 77.3 x 37 inches to 42.2 x 37 inches, while adding less than 6 inches in height.
What’s included in NordicTrack’s iFIT Membership?
The iFIT Pro Membership is what activates the NordicTrack Commercial 2450. It includes Follow Trainer, SmartAdjust, ActivePulse, the AI Coach and a library of 10,000+ workouts filmed in real-world locales, from Alpine switchbacks to city streets.
