NordicTrack treadmills and ellipticals
NordicTrack makes good treadmills and sells them with a subscription, so decide on iFIT before you fall for a screen. The Commercial 1750 is the model we'd look at first: a 22 x 60 in belt, a 3.5 CHP motor and a deck that drops to 3% decline. Its 14-inch screen is built to run iFIT, which costs about $40 a month at time of writing, and it does much less once you stop paying.

If you'll keep paying, workouts that change the speed and incline for you are the best reason to own a NordicTrack. If you won't, you can still run one in manual mode, but compare it with a Sole or Horizon at the same price before you buy.

NordicTrack questions, answered
Can you use a NordicTrack treadmill without iFIT?
Yes. Every current model runs in manual mode with full speed and incline control and a few built-in workouts. You can't cast to the screen or install your own apps, so on the Commercial 1750 the 14-inch display mostly becomes a very large speed readout.
How much does iFIT cost?
At time of writing, about $39.99 a month for a family plan or $180 a year for an individual plan. Over five years of ownership, that adds roughly $900 to $2,400 to the price of the machine.
Which NordicTrack treadmill is best?
The Commercial 1750 for most buyers: a 22-inch belt, 3.5 CHP, decline and a mid-size screen. The 2450 adds a 22-inch screen, incline to 15% and a 3.6 CHP motor, but the deck is much the same.
