NordicTrack Commercial Series: Premium Foldable Treadmills, Incline & Decline, iFIT Membership Required to Access iFIT Content & Features

This is my second Nordic Track treadmill. In my opinion, they are the best on the market. It is relatively easy to put together with two people. My husband and I did it in about 2 hours. The manual is a terrific help. Once it was operational, I jumped on and the roller was out of alignment. We looked it up and found the way to adjust this easily. It is a pretty quiet treadmill and has great incline and speed variety. It is heavy duty so you feel really stable when walking or running on it. There is a feature where you can purchase the IFit programs. I had this previously and found many of the workouts to be a bit too easy, but the variety is great. I highly recommend this treadmill!

The treadmill itself is solidly made, and not all that difficult to assemble. There were a few issues that seemed to have worked themselves out with updates to the iFit software (sudden slowing down during slower walks was the primary symptom for me, and no amount of fiddling with the platform belt or drive belt helped it until the software update occurred). When I first purchased this treadmill, I also got the recurring iFit subscription as well, which at $15.99 was a pretty decent value. I used it religiously, and really enjoyed it. I started spending much more time outdoors on hikes and walks, and used the treadmill less and less as I transitioned to more outdoor exercise, but I kept it knowing that I would most likely used it when it was too hot to hike in the desert sun. So I come back, re-up my sub, and lo and behold, the sub does nothing for my machine. All the workouts I had enjoyed previously with my $15 sub are locked out, with a nice little message telling me to upgrade to "Pro" at $40 per month. More than twice the previous cost. From what I can tell, you dont get anything different for $40 than you used to get for $15, so now this treadmill is now basically just another run of the mill product. It is a shame that this company decided to pull a bait and switch money grab, which is a scam. For that kind of money you can get a premium gym membership with some nice amenities. For the old price, this product was worth the price of admission (the $1,600+ cost of the item) along with the on-going subscription price. With the new monthly pricing model, it is not worth the cost, unless you have that kind of money to throw around for what is ultimately mediocre content that tries and fails to compete with Peloton. This is beginner Youtuber quality at Peloton live personal trainer prices. Decided it was time to update this review from it's previous 5-star to the now appropriate 1.5-stars. Here is my original review: This thing is very solid, great length for someone with a long stride, comfortable to run/walk/hike on, and the screen is great. I was able to put it together by myself, though I do not recommend that, there were two places where having another person would have made it much easier. The iFit app is what takes a really good treadmill, with a good screen, great controls, and responsiveness and ties it all together to make for an amazing exercise experience. I literally can’t get enough of this piece of equipment, and until I started using it, I absolutely hated using a treadmill, as I found it very boring. That is not the case with this treadmill, at least with the iFit subscription. I would also recommend getting the subscription here on Amazon, as opposed to the iFit website, unless you want a family subscription for $39 per month. Getting the solo subscription, which I couldn’t find on the iFit website is only $15 a month. I nearly didn’t buy the treadmill due thinking that I had no choice but to get the family subscription, which seemed excessive to me as a single man, whose children are grown and out of the house.

We were on the fence on purchasing a high end treadmill. We went back and forth between Peloton/Sole/NordicTrack. At the end of the day, we chose correctly. I had read that NordicTrack has the best library of scenic/guided hikes and runs, and boy do they ever. Between my partner and I, we've gone for runs/walks in Vietnam, Italy, Romania, Tanzania and Hawaii. We've created custom warm up routines that we can schedule on the calendar to get going before a proper run. We've also been able to watch our favorite tv shows and movies while we workout if we're just looking to turn our brains off while we get our steps in. If you're looking for a plain treadmill that just does basic functions, this is probably overkill. If you're looking for extra content and guided runs and walks, the 1750 will be exactly what you're looking for. All the iFit extras are what make this machine great. Some positives: Hardware: The manual adjust for elevation and speeds for guided workouts are seamless and quick. The speed adjust on elevation is especially impressive compared to some other models I've used. The treadmill itself has a great "cushion" on impact for running. Very easy on the knees. It has a solid base and feels firmly rooted to the ground. Software: Love the extent of iFIt workouts and trainers. The search features are great at finding you new workouts with new trainers/locations. The ability to listen to music (whether Spotify or Last.fm) gives your workouts an extra level of intensity when you need it. The ability to watch Amazon or Netflix while walking/running is also great. The video and audio quality is great, and Bluetooth works pretty well with our Airpods. Some things that could be improved on the software/hardware side that would make it 10x better: Hardware: USB slot on the side: If you rest your hand (to brace) while using the menu, I'm often getting shocked by the UBS slot. It's pretty annoying, but it's not a deal breaker at all. I think moving that to the bottom where you wouldn't necessarily brace your hand would be a better solution. One additional annoyance is that Bluetooth gets "hung up" sometimes and it just won't connect. I've learned to turn on the machine and get logged in before putting my Airpods in. This has caused me to have to break previous habits because I normally put my Airpods in before I workout. The easier fix I've found when this happens is to hit the power button and wait a few seconds. Software: A separate slide adjuster for Spotify so I can listen to my music while going on a guided workout. The volume is identical for the trainer and Spotify so I can't hear them over my music. Means that I have to resort to last.fm. Last.fm has the separate slider. Not a deal breaker, but would be a small change that would be very nice. The ability to "link" workouts. I have a programmed warmup and would love to link workouts together without having to go through the cooldown and summary and then manually queue up the next one. All things considered, a great piece of equipment that has aided me in losing some serious weight over the last month.

Have had for 2 months, overall pleased with this treadmill. Delivered more quickly than initially expected, fairly easy to set up on your own if you have a second set of hands. Noise level is fairly minimal, functions as advertised. With iFit membership really has a lot of range. You can use without and do manual runs, this is a clunkier than maybe other options for manual operation with everything on the touch screen. Speed and incline adjustments are surprisingly quick. My wife has used more and had enjoyed it immensely.

We have just gotten one of these about a month ago. We are occasional joggers that wanted a way to run indoor and did extensive research to try to get a good treadmill without breaking the bank. I will say that the monthly subscription gives you access to some pretty cool videos and if you get bored of just running it may be the thing for you. The treadmill itself seems ok. It is nice but boy the difference compared to the ones we are used to at the gym. First, at warm up speed at each step the rolling floor slows down. Like it doesn’t have enough power to overcome the added friction on the belt when you put your weight on it. It doesn’t happen at higher speed though. Second, it bounces by quite a bit. At each step you see it go down by at least a quarter inch. Third, for some reason the screen is really low. I am 6.2 and it kind of is at my belly height. It’s fine if you incline all the way up but just feels it could have been placed higher. Also the fan basically blows at your belt line. I know really good treadmills are in the $5-7k so i guess i shouldn’t complain. It’s just that i read so many raving reviews that i expected better. It is easy to use. The buttons work well, good sound and easy touch screen. The Amazon pro assembly was flawless. Def recommend it because this thing is heavy.

Follow Up - I have had it for a little over a month. It is performing great. I started out at 30 minutes a day and I am up to almost 3 hours a day. The motor is plenty strong enough. It was a good purchase and would do it again. I am recovering from a spinal fusion surgery and limited in what exercises that I can do. The box was heavy and large, but the assembly was rather easy, just have a 2nd or 3rd assistant. This treadmill is far exceding my expectations. This treadmill had the wider deck width, as my balance has been off and I felt the wider deck was safer. The footprint is larger than I expected, but when folded it is not near as large. I have had it for about 3 weeks and my endurance has increased from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours per session. I am hoping to find a discount for the Pro Membership in January (new years resolution) as I am on a fixed income and would like to access all of the features. No regrets at all, it is a great machine

I was really excited to purchase this treadmill after being an iFIT user for so many years and wanting a treadmill that was compatible rather than having to continue using my iPad. Unfortunately, the treadmill did not work correctly when I received it. I was able to log into my account but was unable to adjust the speed except in full increments as the manual buttons caused every program to stop. This meant I could either take it easy or push myself hard, but slow progression was not an option. We were on with the Nordic track customer service department for almost 2 hours to problem solve and finally get approved for repair. I do appreciate that they sent the part with no charge and contracted a repair person to fix it. Apparently this is a known issue with this treadmill, which makes it even more frustrating. Now that it’s fixed it works well and is a great treadmill overall. Probably not worth the price though. Update: a month later and there is another issue requiring a technician to come back. Now the speakers have stopped working. Looks like the connections are loose so they are having to replace the entire panel. Unless you enjoy using your treadmill for months as an over sized paper weight while you wait for parts and a repair person. Skip Nordic Trak and find another brand.

The Nordictrack Commercial 1250 Treadmill is a remarkable piece of fitness equipment that combines ease of assembly, innovative IFIT features, and a comfortable screen size.

Assembly Experience: One of the standout aspects of the Nordictrack Commercial 1250 Treadmill is its ease of assembly.
