The Commercial 2450 is the most premium treadmill in NordicTrack's current lineup, and it comes with distinct features that aren't found on the cheaper models. Its 22-inch touchscreen is a great feature to take advantage of iFIT's top content while it transports you around the globe as you exercise, and its soft cushioning makes you forget that you are on a treadmill.

The new design is more quiet than previous Commercial models. This is a significant upgrade that makes it easier to train while not disrupting your housemates or neighbors. Its quietness allows the machine to remain stable even when running at a high rate or on an uphill.

Another significant improvement is the brand new AutoAdjust feature that changes the treadmill's speed, incline, and decrease during iFit workouts.

The Commercial 2450 is easy to build and it can be folded when not in use. EasyLift assists make the process safer and easier than other treadmills that require more force to lift. But, it's an extremely heavy treadmill that requires at least two people for moving and assembly. It is, therefore, best suited to be used in a gym that is specifically designed for home use. Its capacity for weight and size will also make it unsuitable for storage in the gym.
