Nordictrack Treadmill Review

NordicTrack Treadmill is the premium brand of Icon Fitness, the world’s largest treadmill designer and manufacturer.

The major focus of this treadmill’s design is innovation. It is built with iFit technology, reflex and adjustable cushion decks, and built-in flat screen TVs.

NordicTrack offers three models with built-in flat screen TVs. Each designed to appeal to a different level of exercise. These are: NordicTrack Apex 8500 (designed for runners and joggers), NordicTrack Elite 7500 (designed for runners and joggers), and NordicTrack Viewpoint 3000 (designed for walkers). With these TV equipped models you can watch your favorite cable show or DVD, and at the same time receive feedback on your progress, including time, distance and calories burned.

Another perfect example the innovative technology used to make this treadmill is the iFIT and workout cards. Each card offers an 8-week program that covers 24 different workouts. There are four categories of workouts, along with three levels of intensity - beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Once you finish one level or workout card, you cane easily move on to the next. Interestingly, it is worth knowing that certified personal trainers design the workouts. Further, the iFIT card controls the speed, incline and duration of your treadmill workout. It includes helpful tips, as well as audio coaching and motivation.

Yet another creative concept is the adjustable cushion deck, found on some of the models. This feature allows the users to choose the different levels of impact absorption. Depending on your weight or whether you're a walker or runner you may desire more or less shock absorption. With this brand you can choose what you desire.

This model sells direct, and often has some excellent discounts online. Because of the high volume of sales, NordicTrack and Icon Fitness, offer excellent value. In addition they offer various sales and discounts weekly, making your purchase a pleasant experience.

The one area where NordicTrack falls short is on their warranties and company’s customer service. Their parts and labor warranty is normally one year, although they have lifetime coverage on most their motors. Hence you should consider getting an extended warranty. In addition, due to the shear volume of equipment NordicTrack sells, there have been problems getting through to their customer service.

NordicTrack treadmills offer some of the best value for their price, as a matter of fact probably the best value out there in the treadmill department. Their features and innovative technology are second to none. Chances are you will be happy with your purchase.
