NordicTrack
A heritage cardio brand whose iFit-powered machines lead on hardware — incline, decline, and big swiveling screens
- Founded
- 1975
- Country
- United States
- Warranty
- Solid for the class on the frame and drivetrain — commonly a 10-year frame warranty with a lifetime motor warranty on treadmills, plus 2-year parts and 1-year labor.
- Support
- iFit-dependent: most smart features are gated behind the ~$39/month membership, and there is no third-party streaming. Customer service, delivery, and a documented pattern of touchscreen failures are common complaints.
Overview
NordicTrack, part of iFit (formerly ICON Health & Fitness), makes some of the most capable connected treadmills and bikes you can buy for the home — notable for steep incline/decline ranges, powerful motors, and large rotating touchscreens. The hardware is excellent; the experience is tied to the iFit membership, and reliability and customer service are the recurring weak spots.
Is it worth it?
NordicTrack is worth it for buyers who want the most capable hardware (true incline/decline, big screens) and will use iFit — and who can accept the subscription lock-in and mixed support record. Those wanting no subscription should look at Sole.

Best for Incline TrainingNordicTrack
NordicTrack Commercial S22i
The NordicTrack Commercial S22i is the premium bike for terrain training: its signature -10% to +20% motorized incline/decline is something Peloton simply does not offer, paired with a 22" rotating screen and a $39/month iFit membership that undercuts Peloton’s. At about $1,999 it is strong value on hardware. The caveats are real, though — iFit lock-in (no third-party streaming), a documented pattern of touchscreen failures, and signs the model is being phased out, so confirm availability and support before buying.
Best Overall TreadmillNordicTrack
NordicTrack Commercial 1750
This NordicTrack Commercial 1750 review confirms why it is the perennial best-overall premium treadmill pick: a strong 4.25 CHP motor, a roomy 22" × 60" deck, rare -3% to +12% incline/decline, and a 14"–16" pivoting touchscreen that runs iFit plus Netflix. It lists at $2,499 but routinely streets near $1,999–$2,299. The honest catches are the $39/month iFit membership that gates the smart features, and well-documented incline-motor and screen-freeze complaints.
