R-E-S-P-E-C-T. If you’re like most people, you probably just sang that in your head (or out loud, I don’t judge). And if we’re talking about respected cardio machine brands, NordicTrack tops the list. After all, it has been around since 1975, and it is known for making some of the best treadmills on the market.
Say you’ve decided to purchase one of the best NordicTrack treadmills. Great! But if all of the machines are durable and technologically advanced, which one do you choose? Our team of experts has tested just about every model the company’s released over the years, and we’re here to help you find the right one for your home gym.
GGR Gold Pick — Best NordicTrack Treadmill
Earning a strong composite score of 4.4 out of 5, the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is our pick for the top NordicTrack treadmill. This high-quality machine offers plenty of user-friendly features, including a rotating HD touchscreen, well-cushioned running deck, and best-in-class weight capacity of 400 pounds.
The 4 Best NordicTrack Treadmills
- Best NordicTrack Treadmill Overall – NordicTrack Commercial 1750
- Best Budget NordicTrack Treadmill – NordicTrack T Series 10 Treadmill
- Best NordicTrack Treadmill for Runners – NordicTrack Commercial 2450 Treadmill
- Best NordicTrack Incline Treadmill – NordicTrack X24 Treadmill
How We Selected the Best NordicTrack Treadmills
You want to feel well-supported during your treadmill workouts, so our testers examine the machine’s belt and cushioning to determine this score. To earn a 3 or higher, a treadmill should have a running deck that’s at least 18 inches wide and 55 inches long. Units with wider running decks and added ergonomic touches like low step-up heights and ergonomic handrails earn higher ratings.
Space is always important to consider when purchasing home gym equipment, especially when it comes to larger machines like treadmills. To earn a 3 or higher here, treadmills must be easy for one or two people to move around. We give higher marks if a machine is particularly compact or has folding capabilities for easier storage.
Built-in programming takes away the guesswork of working out and allows you to train for specific goals. To earn a benchmark 3 out of 5 for this category, we make sure that the treadmill offers some preset workouts, either via the center console or through a workout app or service like iFIT programming (which is the case with NordicTrack treadmills).
The GGR team includes certified personal trainers, marathon runners, and triathletes who have collectively put more than 50 treadmills through walking, jogging, and running workouts at varying speeds and incline levels. We’ve developed a comprehensive treadmill testing methodology that we use to rate machines on a scale of 1 to 5 in categories including dynamic programming, tech capabilities, ergonomics, footprint, value, and more.
Beyond our team of fitness experts, we make sure to further round out our reporting and recommendations by consulting with professionals in the field. We spoke with exercise physiologist Chris Mohr, Ph.D., RD, as well as GGR Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Raj Dasgupta, MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM, about how these machines can be utilized to support your overall health and fitness.
Latest Updates
In June 2026, we reviewed our list of the best NordicTrack treadmills and made a few changes based on our latest testing. The Commercial 1750 still earns our top recommendation given its spacious running deck, rotating touchscreen, and incline/decline capabilities. However, we swapped the T Series 10 Treadmill as our best budget choice since our previous pick, the NordicTrack EXP 10i, is no longer in production.
Best NordicTrack Treadmill Overall: NordicTrack Commercial 1750
Updated by: Stephen Sheehan, CPT, CNC
If you’re looking to add a workhorse of a treadmill to your home gym, we recommend the NordicTrack Commercial 1750. It’s one of the few treadmills that has decline training capabilities and is compatible with iFIT, one of the best training programs.
What our tester says:
“Overall this feels like a sturdy machine while remaining somewhat stylish – the update to the machine in terms of aesthetic is much appreciated.”
Of all the NordicTrack treadmills we’ve tested, the Commercial 1750 takes top honors by offering the highest weight capacity (400 pounds), a 16-inch pivoting touchscreen, and a powerful 4.25 CHP motor that allows you to go up to 12 miles per hour. Backed by a lifetime frame warranty, this durable machine is well-suited for everything from walking to full-on sprint workouts.
Earning a 5-out-of-5 dynamic programming rating, the 1750 takes at-home training to the next level with an iFIT membership. This interactive training platform includes an autoadjust feature that automatically changes the speed and incline settings to match trainer cues throughout each workout.
Programming: 5/5
Ergonomics: 5/5
Footprint: 3.5/5
Why We Like the NordicTrack Commercial 1750
Earning perfect 5-out-of-5 scores for ergonomics, tech capabilities, and dynamic programming, the Commercial 1750 made a strong impression on multiple team members who got a chance to put it through our in-depth testing process.
“This is a top-of-the-line treadmill with a slightly more expensive price tag, but not exactly high-end,” explains former GGR Senior Director of Content Kate Meier, NASM-CPT, USAW-L1, CF-L1. “You get all the comforts and tech capabilities of some of the best treadmills on the market, but for under $2,500.”
The 1750 has both incline and decline options for those who want to kick their training up a notch. The ability to run at a decline is one of the features that separates this machine from the competition, as most only come with incline settings. For this reason, along with a top speed of 12 MPH, we rate the customizations at a strong 4 out of 5.
Additionally, the 22-inch-by-60-inch deck shines for those who are taller or enjoy frequent running. The Commercial 1750 has a cushioned deck that’s especially useful if you want to take advantage of the decline settings, too. “Downhill runs put a lot of stress on your joints,” one of our GGR testers notes.
We also took measurements of the distance from the console and found that the handrails came in at exactly arm’s length—27 inches to the incline and speed buttons, 23 inches to the start/stop button, and 17 inches to the handles. Accordingly, we gave it a 5 out of 5 for ergonomics.
The touchscreen is easy to use, and I can navigate it intuitively, too. I also love that iFIT’s AutoAdjust feature automatically adjusts your speed and incline as you follow the onscreen workouts.
Former GGR Everything Lead Reviewer Lindsay Scheele
What We Didn’t Like About the NordicTrack Commercial 1750
The only major drawback with the Commercial 1750 is that it isn’t particularly portable and wouldn’t be suitable for a smaller training space. Although there are included transport wheels, Kate says this treadmill is especially difficult to tip in order to engage them.
This doesn’t surprise me since the 1750 weighs 340 pounds in-box. It is foldable, which earns it some bonus points, but we’ll still rate the footprint and portability at 3.5 out of 5.
On a similar note, the assembly process can also be a bit painstaking. Kate told me it took her about 90 minutes to put the Commercial 1750 together, and she recommends having another person help you attach the console to the machine since it requires some wiring.
If the Commercial 1750 is too pricey for your budget, consider the T Series 10 Treadmill instead. It’s about $700 cheaper but still gives you the ability to use iFIT programming.
Testing Breakdown
The Commercial 1750 earned at least a 4 in all but one category, including perfect marks for ergonomics, tech capabilities, and dynamic programming. Here’s a complete scoring breakdown:
Vs. The Average
The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is about $600 more expensive than the average treadmill. However, you get a more sizable running deck, higher top-end speed, and more robust weight capacity when compared to average machine specs.
| NordicTrack Commercial 1750 | Average Treadmill | |
| Price | $2,499.99 | $1,900 |
| Top Incline | 12% | 12% |
| Top Speed | 12 MPH | 10 MPH |
| Running Belt | 60” L x 22” W | 55” L x 18” W |
| User Weight Capacity | 400 lbs | 322 lbs |
| Warranty | Lifetime motor, 10-year frame, 2-year parts, 1-year tablet & 1-year labor and repairs | 10 years |

Best Budget NordicTrack Treadmill: NordicTrack T Series 10 Treadmill
Updated by: Stephen Sheehan, CPT, CNC
If you’re more in the market for a budget treadmill than a top-of-the-line profile with all the bells and whistles, NordicTrack’s got you covered in the form of the T Series 10. Although you have to make some sacrifices in terms of weight capacity and high-end features, you still get access to iFIT programming—one of the top reasons to invest in a NordicTrack treadmill. Earning rock-solid scores across the board, this budget-friendly machine provides great bang for your buck, resulting in a near-perfect 4.5-out-of-5 value rating.
Ergonomics: 4/5
Tech Capabilities: 4/5
Footprint: 4.5/5
Why We Like the NordicTrack T Series 10
Not only is the T Series 10 budget-friendly, but it’s also footprint-friendly. With a total footprint of just 17.89 square feet, it compares favorably to some of the best compact exercise equipment we’ve tested. Furthermore, this model only weighs 250 pounds, and thanks to the front transport wheels, it’s easy to move. As such, we rate the footprint and portability at 4.5 out of 5.
Another aspect we appreciate about the T Series 10 is its SelectFlex adjustable cushioning across the tread belt. This feature can help create a more comfortable training experience by allowing you to change the amount of cushioning depending on your workout.
“It’s not the most cushioned deck I’ve experienced from the NordicTrack stable, but it does provide a good underfoot experience and should be suitable for a range of fitness levels,” former GGR Lead Reviewer Lindsay Scheele, CPT, CNC told me.
Despite its wallet-minded price tag, you still get a 10-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, and conveniences like an AutoBreeze cooling fan, two water bottle holders, a USB-C charging port, and two 2-inch premium-quality speakers. Keep in mind, however, that unlike many of the touchscreen displays on NordicTrack’s other treadmills, the T Series 10’s does not pivot or tilt.
If stepping up or mobility are concerns of yours, the 8.3-inch step-up height should be an appealing metric from this T Series 10.
Former GGR Everything Lead Reviewer Lindsay Scheele
What We Didn’t Like About the NordicTrack T Series 10
One of the trade-offs with budget home gym equipment is that these pieces are typically not as durable as more premium machines and profiles. This was a bit of the case with the T Series 10, which resulted in us docking a point from the durability score.
“There were a few plastic components that came loose when transporting this treadmill from one corner of our testing gym to the next,” Lindsay reports. “We’re not sure if this was a problem stemming from the professional assembly service we opted for, or an issue from manufacturing.”
One other callout is that, unlike other NordicTrack treadmills, the T Series 10 does not offer decline training. This may not be a deal-breaker for everyone, but it is a factor to consider if you want to simulate outdoor terrain or add more variety to your treadmill workouts. That’s why we took a point off the customizations score, settling for a 4 out of 5.
Got more spending power than you thought? If you want the cream of the crop from NordicTrack, the Commercial 1750 is the ultimate training tool.
Testing Breakdown
The NordicTrack T Series 10 performed quite well based on our testing methodology. Here’s a category-by-category breakdown of its performance.
Vs. The Average
The T Series 10 comes in at about $100 less than the average treadmill, making it an affordable option for more budget-conscious customers. Despite the lower price point, it meets our thresholds for incline capabilities, max speed, and weight capacity.
| NordicTrack T Series 10 Treadmill | Average Treadmill | |
| Price | $1,799.99 | $1,900 |
| Top Incline | 12% | 12% |
| Top Speed | 12 MPH | 10 MPH |
| Running Belt | 60” L x 20” W | 55” L x 18” W |
| User Weight Capacity | 325 lbs | 322 lbs |
| Warranty | Lifetime motor, 10-year frame, 2-year parts, 1-year tablet & 1-year labor and repairs | 10 years |

Best NordicTrack Treadmill for Runners: NordicTrack Commercial 2450 Treadmill
Updated by: Stephen Sheehan, CPT, CNC
The NordicTrack Commercial 2450 treadmill has all the bells and whistles you might want and is easy to fold to save space when you are done using it.
What our tester says:
“I really enjoyed the cushioned deck of the 2450. For those who want to work out in comfort, this is a great choice.”
As the most expensive member of the brand’s Commercial Series, the 2450 offers the most robust set of features, making it a runner’s dream. While the Commercial 1750 goes up to 12 MPH, its bigger brother allows you to go even faster (up to 14 MPH). So, whether you want to use this for speed training or prepping for your next 5K, the 2450 has everything you need and we score it at 4 out of 5 for its available customizations.
Durability: 5/5
Tech Capabilities: 5/5
Value: 4/5
Why We Like the NordicTrack Commercial 2450 Treadmill
Runners will likely appreciate the Commercial 2450’s ability to go up to 14 miles per hour, which is above-average for the industry. Plus, we love the incline and decline options on this model.
Although the incline doesn’t tap out at 40% like its overachieving older brother (the X24), the 15% maximum works well for me. You’re able to get a challenging incline workout without being at risk of snapping your knees and ankles like twigs. Plus, you can even do some decline training (up to -3%).
“Most treadmills don’t offer decline options at all, so this is a valuable feature,” our tester tells me.
If you’re looking for cushioning that feels like stepping on fresh marshmallows right out of the bag, the 2450 has your number, too. “The response from the belt to my feet hitting the deck was more of a bounce than a thud,” says one of our product testers. “However, if you’re into minimal cushioning, this may not be your best pick.”
We also like that this is a folding treadmill, meaning you can reduce its footprint when not in use. In our experience, the folding mechanism is super smooth with the EasyLift Assist built-in hydraulics. It also has wheels on the front stabilizers that make moving it much easier than you’d expect. Accordingly, it earns a 4-out-of-5 rating for footprint and portability.
A valuable feature on the NordicTrack 2450 is the ability to set the incline to 12% and decline to -3%, which is well above industry standard. Most treadmills don’t offer decline options, at all.
Our expert product tester
What We Didn’t Like About the NordicTrack Commercial 2450 Treadmill
It is worth noting that the 2450 is pretty large and has an in-depth assembly process. If you’re not a fan of putting lots of small pieces together (almost like an Ikea dresser), professional assembly might be the best option for you. Plus, at 353 pounds, you’ll definitely need some assistance to get this up a flight of stairs. Hence, we rated the setup an average 3 out of 5.
Additionally, while we rate the value at a respectable 4 out of 5, we understand that an MSRP of nearly $3,000 is not the most budget-conscious price tag. We feel the performance is worth it, but some may want to spend a little less on home gym equipment.
If you want to stay within the Commercial Series and keep a bit more money in your pocket, go with the 1750. There are small trade-offs in terms of top speed and screen size, but you can use those extra savings on your iFIT subscription.
Testing Breakdown
The Commercial 2450 performed well based on our testing methodology. Here’s how it scored in each area we evaluate:
Vs. The Average
The Commercial 2450 is a premium option, as it costs $1,100 more than the average treadmill. However, it provides great value thanks to its higher top speed, robust weight capacity, and wide running surface.
| NordicTrack Commercial 2450 | Average Treadmill | |
| Price | $2,999.99 | $1,900 |
| Top Incline | 12% | 12% |
| Top Speed | 14 MPH | 10 MPH |
| Running Belt | 60” L x 22” W | 55” L x 18” W |
| User Weight Capacity | 400 lbs | 322 lbs |
| Warranty | Lifetime motor, 10-year frame, 2-year parts, 1-year tablet & 1-year labor and repairs | 10 years |

Best NordicTrack Incline Treadmill: NordicTrack X24 Treadmill
Updated by: Stephen Sheehan, CPT, CNC
The new NordicTrack X24 Treadmill has an impressive incline/decline range of -6% to 40% and features an impressive 24-inch touchscreen monitor with high-quality speakers. It includes several conveniences, like water bottle holders and a cooling fan that adjusts automatically based on the intensity of your iFIT class. However, the price tag is steep, and this large, heavy treadmill could be difficult to move around.
What our tester says:
“I didn’t notice the screen wobbling or shaking even at high speeds.”
Want to really get your legs burning? How about climbing on an incline treadmill that boasts an impressive 40% incline? In addition, the NordicTrack Commercial X24 even offers a -6% decline, giving you ample flexibility to tailor your preferences. That’s good for just about any incline treadmill workout you can think of, and it gets a perfect 5 out of 5 for customizations.
Tech Capabilities: 5/5
Durability: 5/5
Footprint & Portability: 1/5
Why We Like the NordicTrack X24 Treadmill
Former GGR Everything Lead Reviewer Lindsay Scheele was highly impressed by the X24’s performance and build quality. “It’s quiet and smooth, has a large screen, and the iFIT programming just keeps getting better and better,” she told me. “I review a ton of treadmills, but this one is actually very good.”
The X24 has a 400-pound weight capacity and a super-strong 4.25-horsepower motor. It should go without saying, but this gets a 5 out of 5 on durability.
If you’re going to run or sprint on a treadmill, having a stable machine is key to an enjoyable workout. Plus, the 22-inch-by-60-inch deck allows your legs to naturally stride on the X24. For context, the typical walking or jogging treadmill is around 5 inches shorter.
Lindsay was also very impressed with the 24-inch swiveling touchscreen. A great display, like the one on the X24, can really bring interactive programming to life. Plus, the monitor doesn’t shake or wobble, at all. “The monitor is very sturdy, even at top speeds and inclines. You won’t feel like you’re getting motion sickness from the screen jostling too much,” Lindsay notes.
It’s one of the largest treadmills I’ve tested. Even taller runners will have plenty of room to run or sprint on it.
Former GGR Lead Reviewer Lindsay Scheele
What We Didn’t Like About the NordicTrack X24 Treadmill
Let’s address the proverbial elephant in the room: the price. The X24 offers top-of-the-line features … at a top-of-the-market price point. Listed for around $4,300, this machine is simply not going to be a viable option for budget-conscious buyers. So, even though we still rate the value at a 4 out of 5, it’s fair to say there won’t be as big of a market for this as something like the more affordable Commercial 1750 or T Series 10.
It is worth mentioning that the X24 cannot be folded, either, so it would work best for someone who has a designated home gym (not a garage gym, since your warranty will be voided). Plus, at over 400 pounds, the X24 will definitely require professional movers or a few really strong friends to help you move the machine around. As such, we rate it at 1 out of 5 for footprint and portability.
If the high price tag puts the X24 out of range, consider the Commercial 2450. It doesn’t offer the same incline capabilities (no model does), but it boasts many similar treadmill features that can allow you to maximize your training experience.
Testing Breakdown
Due to its size, the X24 earned the lowest footprint and portability score in this roundup. However, it earned perfect scores in a number of other categories, demonstrating why it’s one of our favorite treadmills we’ve tested.
Vs. The Average
The X24 Treadmill is in a different tier from a price perspective, costing more than double the average treadmill. However, you get an unheard of incline range of 40% (along with a -6% decline range). Either way, it’s clear this is not your average treadmill in terms of features and cost.
| NordicTrack X24 Treadmill | Average Treadmill | |
| Price | $4,299.99 | $1,900 |
| Top Incline | 40% | 12% |
| Top Speed | 12 MPH | 10 MPH |
| Running Belt | 60” L x 22” W | 55” L x 18” W |
| User Weight Capacity | 400 lbs | 322 lbs |
| Warranty | Lifetime motor, 10-year frame, 2-year parts, 1-year tablet & 1-year labor and repairs | 10 years |

Other NordicTrack Treadmills We Researched and Tested
We’ve tested a number of NordicTrack treadmills over the years, but many have since been discontinued and are no longer in production. So, we’re only listing currently available models that didn’t make this guide.

How We Picked and Tested the Best NordicTrack Treadmills
When deciding what machines will make a list, we ask ourselves specific questions in order to standardize our testing process. Here’s a breakdown of what we evaluate when it comes to treadmills from NordicTrack, Peloton, ProForm, and other top brands:
Footprint and Portability
Treadmills inherently take up a lot of space, especially compared to smaller pieces of fitness equipment. As such, we take careful note of each machine’s overall footprint, awarding higher scores to models that have a foldable running surface (most NordicTrack treadmills check this box) and transport wheels that allow you to move it easier. We give a 3 out of 5 if a machine falls around the average footprint size, and one person can move it without much hassle.
Delivery and Setup
Is the treadmill delivered to your doorstep? How difficult is it to assemble? Do you need multiple people to put the machine together?
All of these factor into the overall delivery and setup score. To earn a 3 out of 5, the brand must offer threshold delivery (to your doorstep or porch), and it must take two people no more than an hour and a half to assemble the treadmill entirely.
Customizations
We use the term “customizations” to show how well you’re able to tailor your workout based on speed and incline settings. An average score of 3 out of 5 reflects a top speed of at least 10 MPH, as well as some kind of incline offering. We give higher scores to machines that go above that 10 MPH threshold, offer inclines north of 5% or more, and/or include decline training.
Tech Capabilities
Does the treadmill have a touchscreen display that pivots or rotates for off-treadmill workouts? Are there built-in speakers so you can follow along with classes or stream your go-to training music?
To earn a 3 out of 5, there’s at least a console and some form of heart rate monitoring through contact sensors. We give higher scores for more expansive tech capabilities, such as smart or Wi-Fi-enabled touchscreen displays, Bluetooth speakers, a USB charging port, or programming that automatically adjusts the resistance or incline for you (which is the case with many NordicTrack treadmills).
Adjustability and Ergonomics
We assess how the treadmill feels (comfort is key!) in terms of deck cushioning and how big the running surface is. To get a 3-out-of-5 rating, the machine must have at least a 55-inch-long running deck that’s at least 18 inches wide. Running surfaces should be a single- or multi-ply PVC belt that is 0.8 to 1.1 millimeters thick, as well.
Durability
Our durability score takes several factors into account, including weight capacity, motor size, and how stable the machine is during operation. To earn at least a 3 out of 5, we look for little to no uncomfortable shifting, shaking, or wobbling during the workout, as well as a listed weight capacity of at least 275 pounds and a motor of at least 2.5 continuous horsepower. Luckily, most NordicTrack treadmills far exceed these thresholds.
Value
Is the price justified based on the build quality and features? Just because something is expensive doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad value (and vice versa).
To earn a 3 out of 5, the treadmill is priced fairly based on its features when compared to similar models from other brands. Higher scores go to models that offer tremendous bang for your buck, especially if it’s on sale.
Dynamic Programming
Does the treadmill come with built-in workout programs? Can you stream live or on-demand classes via a companion workout app or something like iFIT programming?
To earn a 3 out of 5, the treadmill features at least a few integrated workouts (most do), but one of the reasons NordicTrack models routinely earn high scores in this category is their iFIT compatibility.
Customer Experience
What type of warranty and return policies does the manufacturer offer? Can you easily get in touch with customer service to address any shipping issues or product defects?
To earn a 3 out of 5, the manufacturer should offer a 30-day return policy and at least one financing option. For treadmills, we like to see a 10-year frame warranty, as well. NordicTrack generally does a good job of providing timely customer service and industry-standard warranties.
Customer Reviews
We care about what customers have to say regarding their experience with a particular profile. We check the NordicTrack website for the composite review score from customers, and we also look at feedback to identify common points of praise and areas for improvement.
Benefits of NordicTrack Treadmills
It’s no secret that treadmills are one of the top training tools for getting in shape. Let’s take a look at some of the ways investing in a NordicTrack treadmill can help improve your health and fitness.
Can Help Achieve Body Recomposition Goals
Cardiovascular exercise is one method to burn body fat. So, investing (and using) a treadmill can be a useful way to help you reach your body recomposition goals. Keep in mind, however, that this should be a multi-pronged approach.
“It is beneficial to combine cardiovascular and strength training when trying to lose weight and maintain muscle,” explains GGR expert contributor Christopher Mohr, PhD, RD.
GGR Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Raj Dasgupta, MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM, also supports this method of achieving your ideal body composition.
“Combine aerobic exercises like walking or cycling with strength training like lifting weights to burn calories and build muscle,” he explains. “This mix also boosts your metabolism and supports long-term weight loss.”
RELATED: Best Treadmill Workouts for Weight Loss
Can Support Better Mental Health
Whether you finish up a long-distance run or knock out a grueling sprint interval workout, there’s a unique sense of accomplishment when you’re done. As much as exercise is beneficial for your physical well-being, it’s equally important for your mental health.
Plus, that’s still the case even if you just use a treadmill for walking workouts.
“Low-intensity activities still encourage the release of endorphins and promote relaxation for better sleep, which improves overall mood,” explains Chris Mohr. “However, with whatever exercise you decide to indulge in, try to be consistent, as it can have positive effects on mental health over time.”
RELATED: Exercise And Mental Health
Improve Your Cardiovascular Health
Per the Centers For Disease Prevention and Control1, adults should perform at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous aerobic activity. Naturally, a NordicTrack treadmill can be your gateway to meeting (or surpassing) that recommendation.
“Cardio exercises like running, cycling, or swimming are excellent for improving cardiovascular health, while strength training is great for building muscle mass, which is often called the organ of longevity,” says Chris Mohr.
Buying Guide: What to Look For in a NordicTrack Treadmill
Trying to determine which NordicTrack treadmill is right for you? Take a look at our handy-dandy buyer’s guide:
Display
All currently produced NordicTrack treadmills have a smart HD touchscreen display. However, some are quite a bit larger than others. The smallest screen available is the 10-inch display on the T Series 10, but top-end models like the X24 have 24-inch consoles that make streaming workouts a breeze.
RELATED: The Best Treadmills With TV Screen
Decide what type of display you’re looking for before choosing a NordicTrack treadmill. If you have poor vision, I’d recommend picking a machine that has at least a 14-inch screen. If the programming is less important to you for a worthwhile running experience, choose a smaller screen to save some cash.
Deck Size
The deck sizes on NordicTrack treadmills don’t vary a ton, but if you’re especially tall, you’ll want to check out the dimensions ahead of time. Some of the more expensive offerings from NordicTrack have an extra few inches added to the length of their deck, so that is something to keep your eyes peeled for if you have a longer stride.
Foldability
Surprisingly, not all NordicTrack treadmills are foldable. If this is a deal-breaker for you, make sure to check the product page for the wording “SpaceSaver Design with EasyLift Assist”. This will clue you into the fact that the machine can be folded and has an included gas shock for a soft-drop deck.
Incline
If you’re someone who is particularly interested in exercising at an incline, make sure your potential NordicTrack treadmill has this capability. While all NordicTrack treadmills currently produced do have incline options, not all of them have the same maximum. You’ll find incline options anywhere from 12% to 40% on a NordicTrack treadmill.

FAQs About NordicTrack Treadmills
What NordicTrack treadmill should I buy?
Deciding which NordicTrack treadmill to purchase is a personal decision. My favorite overall is the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 because I think this is the best machine for the majority of people. However, if you’re looking for a less-expensive offering from NordicTrack, I recommend the T Series 10, which costs under $2,000.
What features should I look for in a treadmill?
Key features to consider when shopping for a treadmill include the motor size, speed and incline ranges, tech capabilities, and dynamic programming. Check out our treadmill buying guide for more expert tips on how to select the best machine for you.
What’s the difference between the NordicTrack Commercial Series and X Series?
The NordicTrack Commercial Series is built for traditional running and endurance training, offering faster speeds, a more runner-focused design, and folding frames. The X Series is designed for intense incline workouts, offering up to 40% incline for workouts that emphasize climbing over speed.
