The huge 22-inch screen is a fantastic way to enjoy iFIT's premium features while exercising. Its soft cushioning also makes you forget that you are on a treadmill.

A notable improvement over earlier Commercial models is a new design that reduces noise, and is considerably quieter when the treadmill is running. This is a significant upgrade that allows you to train while not disrupting your neighbors or housemates. Its quietness helps the machine remain steady even at a high pace or on an incline.

AutoAdjust is another significant improvement. It automatically adjusts the treadmill's speed and incline when you do iFit workouts. This is done automatically by the machine based on your fitness level, the type of workout and your current effort. You can change this at any time by touching the screen.

This is a good option for runners who wish to focus on their form and speed without being influenced by IFit trainers.

Like other Nordictrack treadmills, the Commercial 2450 is relatively easy to assemble and then fold when not in use. It makes use of EasyLift aid to make the process much more simple and secure than other treadmills that require a lot of force to release. This is a heavy treadmill, which requires at least two people to move and put together. This is why it is ideal for home gyms that are specifically designed for this purpose. Its weight capacity and size are not ideal for storage that is frequent outside of the gym.
