NordicTrack T Series

Amazon prime delivery was on time and efficient. No shipping damage, all the bits and pieces that were supposed to be in the box were in the box. You do need a Phillips head screwdriver and adjustable wrench for assembly. I, 55f and the only one in the house who reads instructions and makes sure all the pieces are there first, decided to put it together myself. It didn't feel like 2.5 hours but that's how long it took. Did I complain? A little. In Step 6 I carefully loosened/tightened four pre-attached screws in the handrails to get the larger screws/washers in place. Turn the page for Step 8 to read "if there are four screws pre-attached inside ... remove and discard them..." grumble. It's recommended you have a person help you hold to attach the console assembly but it's doable by yourself if you're flexible. I did need the second person for steps 13-15 (of 17) to hold the belt frame up while I attached the crossbar and storage latch. Yes, there are stickers and "warnings" stating that the treadmill is locked and will not start until activated at ifit.com. You do NOT need to enter your credit card information (find the small font that says skip or no thank you). You will still get the one month free trial. I do not like that I cannot input individual stats (height, weight, etc.) into the treadmill directly. Those fancy features come with the ifit app subscription. I did poke around the iFit programs a bit - would have been nice for it to limit what I could see to this particular machine; in other words there were plenty of programs that incline to 18% or 34% automatically - useless for this machine as it only goes to 10%. But, the walks/runs that take you on tours of places are neat. Would I buy into the subscription? Not unless it synchs with my Fitbit which it does not. Speaking of which, the treadmill pulse bar monitor and my Fitbit read are fairly close. I'm not sure about distance/steps because I keep forgetting to check...which is why synching would be nice. The machine lifts out of the way and lowers easily (not a feature we use regularly but it's there if needed). As with every other piece of exercise equipment we've ever owned, the built in speakers are not awesome. The lip at the bottom of the console holds phone/tablet admirably, if I could design it myself I would have it at the top so that I didn't have to look down to see my phone (as the ifit trainer is telling me to keep my head up). NOTE: none of the assembly steps in the manual indicate to attach the safety key. It's just pictured hanging off the pulse bar in the final step (it did not come attached, it's wrapped in a small bag with the screws etc.). You do need to have the red safety key in place on the pulse bar to make the machine work (there's a small indented area with a key logo). The important emergency information on how the *safety* part of the key works (if the clip is attached to you) is highlighted in the manual under HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER. Be safe. So far, we've had four family members of varying sizes use the machine on full workouts - walkers and runners. Haven't wanted to adjust cushioning, there's been no belt slippage and there have been no weird noises. For the price, we recommend it. UPDATE 3 months later: after browsing the iFit programs for a few days I found the functionality between the app and the treadmill to be what I needed in my life. I have an annual subscription (still don't need to leave your CC info with them permanently). Because I'm not just staring at the wall while using the machine I look forward to hopping on 5-6 days a week faithfully, traveling around the world - heck, I've even done a few virtual 5k races! Machine is still solid - I use it the most, but my husband is on it 3-4x/week and a teenager too. No squeaks or issues thus far.

Easy to assemble. Works perfectly I just did a mini workout,7%incline and wooo it made me sweat. I love the price as well. Great treadmill.

For starters, very very heavy, which is great honestly, the parts are definitely made to last, very high quality hardware. You will need help to bring it inside, it weighed at least 300 lbs. Not the most compact when it folds up, but compact enough to save some space anyway. Surprisingly quiet, I can walk or jog at night while everyone else is sleeping, so thats a plus I didn't expect. Definitely good to last for a long while depending on your goals, I mostly use it for walking but good enough for jogging. Only complaint I have is on the packaging for the bolts and screws, its a little hard to get them out even with a knife, but you can make it work. If youre like me and you want something thats not so high tech and made to last within reason, this is the one to go with, its roomy enough for a big guy like me and its made of tough parts. Also, my compliments to the ones who shipped it, it showed up 10 days early

UPDATE 9 MONTHS LATER: The TM has been perfect and I really like it. I did look into what kind of lube to use, and don't know why the manual says not to use silicone because that is exactly what you are supposed to use on this particular model - 100% silicone. (Some super expensive gym type models use walking belts that never need lubing from what I understand and you should not use silicone on those, but for this model, silicone is exactly what Nordic says to use if you contact them.) So I have been lubing it monthly since I got it, but how often you do this depends in part on how many miles you log weekly or monthly. But I am 100% happy and really glad I got it, and not a different brand. My Usage: only manual mode - no programs and no iFit, so can't speak to those. I'm also not a runner. I walk in the 2.2 - 3.2 mph range with level 2 to full incline for 20-45 min once a day. I am the only user. My last Nordic TM lasted 20+ years and that's the only reason I overpaid for this one ($799 and with tax closer to $900). IMO this TM should be $679 - the 2023 Black Friday price - all the time. But know I can get parts for it over the years and keep it going, but still; being overpriced is one reason for knocking off a star. In tandem with that it has to be assembled (price should reflect this but doesn't). So many TMs today come pre-assembled. I don't mind assembling something, but would mind it much less at $679. That said the assembly was fairly easy as long as you have your own socket/ratchet, etc tools and don't use the suggested ones. Also helps to have watched a few YT vids on how to assemble it. I did it alone without help. Final reason for taking off a star is the funky dot matrix display. I know many TM's have this, but it's ugly and dated... like all the way back to 1200 baud modem and floppy disk days. When will TMs have nice LED screens like cell phones? On the pro side, it's at least quite large and has all the data you need. The Settings are funky to get through too, but once set, really won't need to bother with them. Otherwise I like how there are buttons for everything you need (MPH and incline) so you don't have to press the - or + buttons overmuch. The box arrived absolutely pristine and looked brand spankin' new like Scotty had transported it directly from the packer to my garage. Not a scratch or blemish on it. The interior was also well packed. I read many reviews of people who received cracked or broken plastic trim parts. Not so in my case. The beautiful condition it arrived in took some of the sting out of the price. Once together I bypassed iFit then tested it without getting on it. The belt was too far left and made a rubbing noise on the trim. I adjusted it to center until it was quiet; then loosened it slightly on both sides because after centering it, it was a little tighter than the 2-3 inches the manual calls for. So some minor adjusting. (When I first turned it on it went to the highest incline position on its own, then immediately went back down and stopped. I knew it was calibrating itself so just let it do that.) The noise factor is similar to my last Nordic. I wouldn't call it a quiet machine or put it in a bedroom if people will be trying to sleep while you use it, but it's not annoying either. I listen to music over a stereo system (not the TM's speakers) and so I don't notice it. Like my last Nordic, the motor does change pitch a little with every step, as if the weight makes it work a little harder (I'm of average weight at 160). The console is much larger than expected. It makes the TM look pretty darn big. Not an issue for me since it's in the garage. I did order a "fully-opened" cover for it from Amazon (vs a cover that only fits when the TM is folded up). There have been some reviews saying it would not run on a 15A circuit. From what I gather, newer circuits (i.e. found in newer houses) are made differently than the very old ones. I live in a house built in the 1950s and the TM is on a 15A circuit along with a bunch of other stuff and it works fine, but maybe part of that is that I am not pushing it at high speeds, IDK. But it runs smooth, the buttons are responsive, and it does what it's supposed to. As long as it keeps doing that I'll be happy enough. If I run into problems, will update this review. One thing that bothers me is it says in the manual not to use silicone on the belt, that it's pre-lubed. That's fine for now, but if belts aren't regularly lubed they will wear the deck too, (and put drag on the motor). then you'll need a new deck AND belt... and might burn out the motor in the process. Maybe Nordic doesn't mind because then they can sell more parts that way, but there should have been a schedule included for how often to lube it, and what lube to use. Instead I will have to take time to research that myself. Bottom line: Would I recommend it? At $679 absolutely. At $799 you can find cheaper ones that do the same thing, but whether or not those will last as long, or if parts will be available down the road, who knows... I wanted to stick with Nordic - not because they're as great as they used to be - but because they seemed like a safer bet than newer brands that also had many complaints, but YMMV.

I bought this treadmill during an unbeatable Amazon sale (thank you Amazon!!!) and added the very reasonable Room of Choice delivery plus a 2-year Asurion warranty for peace of mind. For the price, this treadmill is unbeatable. It’s a solid, full-sized treadmill that offers speeds up to 10 MPH (I’ll never get near that top speed 😅) and inclines up to 10%, which is a great way to add intensity to walking workouts. The hydraulic lift is a nice touch that's usually only seen on much higher end models and it makes the treadmill easy to fold up - it’s surprisingly lightweight when lifting the track. I also appreciate the thoughtful design details, like the small hole in the water bottle holder that prevents puddles if your water bottle drips. I can't comment on setup as I paid for the installation - I'm not a handy person but there are Yotube videos showing the installation process for those who are handy. Also, even though there's an ad included in the treadmill box saying to sign up with iFit before turning on the treadmill, I’ve never signed up for iFit and have had zero issues—zero lag time to start my treadmill workout, no unwanted pop-ups. I just press the power button at the front base (the "reset/off" button), hit “start” on the treadmill main panel and I’m good to go. You do not need to sign up for iFit whatsoever -once the treadmill is assembled, you can just turn it on and go. I watch shows on my iPad while walking/jogging, so I wasn't interested in the iFit subscription. Now, are there a couple of things that could improve with the treadmill? Sure - it could use a pause button (there is no pause button - it's either "stop" or "start"), I do wish there was a bit more track space before the front deck starts since in the beginning I did accidentally hit my foot/sneaker on the front deck (I'm used to it now and don't walk/jog as close to the front panel), and it could have other features that higher end treadmills have....but you know what? Then the price would be in a higher tier as well. If you’re looking for a dependable treadmill at a great value, this one is a no-brainer and I'm really happy with it. Finally, a huge shout-out to the Amazon delivery team (Brar and Amrit) who managed to get this treadmill into my basement—a tough job, and they handled it like pros.

Excelente caminadora. Llegó en el tiempo estimado y su armado fue muy sencillo ya que las instrucciones son muy explicitas e incluyen la herramienta necesaria. Sin embargo se necesitan dos personas para su armado ya que la caja es muy pesada. Llevamos un mes utilizandola y no hemos tenido ningún problema, mi familia la utiliza todos los días en con diferentes velocidades e inclinaciones para correr o caminar y todo funciona a la perfeccion. No es muy ruidosa y es muy facil e intituitiva para operarla. Contiene algunas rutinas ya precargadas con diferentes niveles para quema de calorias, velocidad, e inclinación. Muy recomendable.

It’s better than expected and it’s built super sturdy. I’m 6’2 and just under 260 lbs and it does everything that I need when it comes to sturdiness, tread size and functionality. The only down side is that you have to download an App and jump through a couple hoops in order to get it started, but once you get it started it’s easy to use and a solid buy. Also, delivery was a couple days late but given the world climate right now combined with the size, I wasn’t surprised. Prior to ordering on Amazon I had tried to order a treadmill straight from Horizon Fitness after lengthy research, but after the transaction was approved, a month later I was notified that they didn’t deliver to my location in the city, and I’m not sure if that was the actual reason given the high demand for home exercise equipment. That being said, when I searched on Amazon for a treadmill almost everything was “out of stock”, and with me being a bigger dude, I needed one that had the necessary specs to handle my size in order to get a good sweat on. So after further research on manufacturers and specs, I was lucky to find this unit that satisfied all my requirements/needs with only “2 left in stock” at a reasonable price, and it was delivered straight to my door and I’m super happy with it. With all that is happening in this upside down world right now, I recognize the need to support local business but in some circumstances that is extremely difficult, and say what you will about Amazon and their success during these trying times. In my experience, with an increase in online purchases, Amazon has in place the capacity, inventory and capabilities to deliver when needed. I know that there is much controversy surrounding Amazon with their employee practices and their social, environmental and political impacts as well, but given the current world climate Amazon has continued to deliver consumer goods and necessities in a timely fashion in order to provide some semblance of normalcy during these trying times and I can respect that. That being said, I also believe that Amazon has the ability, the resources and the social responsibility to do more to help their hard working employees and their worldwide community of consumers/supporters as many local businesses that support their communities are currently struggling to stay alive while Amazon thrives. In conclusion, you can tell that I have some extra time on my hands given the length of this review, and with the current world climate, home exercise equipment is as, if not more popular during a pandemic than toilet paper. If you’re lucky enough to be able to get one of these units given the current supply and demand... enjoy! Moreover, if you’ve read this far into this review, to quote the legendary Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod, “stay fit and stay safe!”

Llevo 3 meses usando esta caminadora y la verdad es que estoy muy satisfecho con la caminadora Es una máquina muy robusta, construida con materiales de buena calidad que la hacen sentir sólida y duradera. Desde el primer uso, me di cuenta de que no es una de esas caminadoras que se siente frágil o inestable. Me da mucha seguridad mientras estoy usandola La superficie es lo suficientemente amplia para correr cómodamente, lo cual es algo que valoro mucho. Me gusta que puedo hacer ejercicio sin sentir que estoy limitado por el espacio. Además, es realmente cómodo, y no ha tenido problemas con las articulaciones gracias a la amortiguación que tiene. Otro punto fuerte es lo fácil que es de usar. Los controles son sencillos y la pantalla muestra todo de manera clara. También me sorprendí lo fácil que es de guardar. A pesar de ser bastante robusta, se pliega sin problemas y no ocupa casi nada de espacio, lo cual es perfecto si no tienes mucho lugar en casa.

Compré esta caminadora en diciembre 2024 y desde ese mes la he estado usando diario por más de 30 días sin parar. Me parece un producto de mucha calidad; Ya no tengo la necesidad de salir a correr fuera de mi casa. Tengo la facilidad de hacer algunas actividades de mi trabajo haciendo caminata o corriendo y me parece que la calidad del producto en general es muy buena, fácil de armar y no requiere de mucho tiempo para el armado (30-40 minutos) Unico detalle es que es un poco complicada de configurar pero luego de unos videos en YouTube, pude cambiarle a sistema métrico, Tiene modos diferentes de entrenamiento, los cuales he estado usando, y me parecen muy buenos; incluye accesorios y configuraciones muy prácticas. He podido retomar un poco de mi condición física y me parece que esta caminadora es muy recomendable. Estoy muy contento con la compra.
