A Review of NordicTrack Treadmills
NordicTrack treadmills are some of the finest pieces of exercise equipment available on the market. And I should know, I use them just about every day at my local health club. NordicTrack makes treadmills that are designed for commercial use, which means rehabilitation centers, gyms and health clubs, and treadmills for the home. They are manufactured by Icon Health and Fitness Inc and they are priced starting just under $1000 and can go as high as $5000.
NordicTrack treadmills use a patented running surface called a Reflex Deck which flattens out when the user’s foot makes impact on the surface of the treadbelt. The result is that more of the impact is absorbed and dissipated and therefore less stress and strain are put on the feet, knees and hips. Let’s take a look at the various series of treadmills that NordicTrack has to offer.
C Series
The C Series have DurX commercial motors with 300 pound deck capacity. The T7 si treadmill and the T9 ci feature 2.25 HP AND 2.5 horsepower motors respectively. Each model has a 20 inch wide tread and features the Intermix Acoustics sound system.
Elite Series
The Elite Series includes the 1500 and 7500 models with a 350 lb. weight capacity, a 20″ x 60″ commercial treadbelt and a 3.0 hp motor for the 1500 model and a 3.5 hp motor for the 7500 model. The 7500 model also includes a 7 inch flatscreen TV built into the console.

The Reflex Series is ideal for those looking for a running surface with extra shock absorbing ability. NordicTrack treadmills states that these treadmills can store 38% of the impact that you would otherwise feel while running outdoors. The Reflex Series includes the Apex 4500 and the Reflex SR.
