Take a look at some of your options when it comes to a Nordic Track Treadmill:
A number of different models.
Nordic Track treadmills include basic models that run around $700 all the way up to commercial-grade treadmills you'd find in your gym, which are closer to $3,000. Some of their most popular series include:
C-Series
The entry-level treadmill in the Nordic Track line runs around $700 and has a wide range of features, making it ideal for someone looking for a basic treadmill that offers a number of added features at an affordable price. This series includes such things as a one-touch speed control that lets you go from 1-10 mph with one touch; a 12% incline option; a 20x55 treadmill belt that gives a wider and longer running space than most standard belts; and an impact cushioning belt that claims to reduce impact by up to 28% when compared to road or street running.
Elite Series
Nordic Track's Elite treadmill, which runs around $2,000, is a treadmill for serious exercisers who want a treadmill full of bells and whistles. It features Nordic Track's iFIT workout card, which allows its users to connect to their treadmill and get a guided workout. They can also get on the internet and download new fitness programs directly to the treadmill for an additional fee. In addition, a built-in 8.4 inch flat screen TV and speakers are mounted on the console.
This is a good treadmill for people who don't mind paying a little extra for features like a TV.
Viewpoint Series
This model features many of the things the other models have, include a user capacity of 350 pounds and one-touch speed and incline control. It also features the DuraSoft cushioning, designed to significantly reduce the amount of impact on your joints.
What sets this treadmill model apart is the entertainment features, including a 7-inch flat screen TV that is cable and DVD ready. The screen also allows you to track your progress while watching TV with the calories burned and distance shown on the screen. It also lets you connect your MP3 player to the console, which plays the music through surround speakers.
Bottom line
As with any treadmill, be sure to check the warranty. Some are better than others, and you will want to make sure you are receiving a warranty that covers labor as well as parts. In addition, even if you purchase your treadmill online, make sure you try it out in a store first, so you can know whether you want to buy.
With a Nordic Track treadmill, there are plenty of options for people depending on their wants and needs. Those who want a basic treadmill that doesn't need a TV or loads of features will be pleased with the entry models, and those who want commercial quality treadmills can find one with many features and a larger walking space for around $3,000.
