NordicTrackT Series

I’m generally very pleased with the NordicTrack T5 and I give it 5 stars as a product.I love the incline feature and that the speed can go up to 10, giving me a good range for my workouts from such a compact machine. I was not expecting something as well build and powerful at this price point and size.I read that the belt can be loud for the machine size but i didn’t find that to be the case. I’m working out in the basement and my husband cannot hear it from upstairs. If I have music on I don’t hear anything. It sounds like a regular full size treadmill.The buttons are a bit tricky at first due to their minimalist design, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy to track what you need (speed, length of workout etc) Im still getting used to holding down the speed buttons, it seems to jump in increments of 0.5 if I am not careful, which can be a bit annoying, but I’m adjusting to it by learning the right pressure and timing. I can’t really tell if the problem is me or the machine on that one. There is also a second way to change speeds when using the Ifit workout app, and I’m finding I like to use that more anyways.The iFit connectivity is a nice touch—with the subscription it automatically adjusts the speed and incline based on the program, which adds a lot of value to my workouts. It is so responsive and that it changes the speed and incline on my tablet in real time- no lag. I am going to look into my health insurance paying for the subscription because it was fun to have a trainer that I felt like I was engaging with. I got to work out in Croatia, Bosnia, Florence, and Utah so far!Assembly was surprisingly easy, my husband and I brought it to the basement and put it together in less than 2 hours. His main remark was how well the treadmill was packaged (which is important because of the shipping issues we had from Amazon- see below). The machine was very snuggly placed in the box with pressed wood supports and large hefty styrofoam pieces. It was also wrapped in plastic. The instructions were straightforward and there is not a ton of things needed for assembly. The items we needed for assembly were all in a yellow cardboard “sheet” covered in plastic and numbered according to step. We found watching the videos on how to assemble the treadmill especially helpful. Nordic track has some and so do third parties on YouTube.My only major complaint is about Amazon and not Nordic track. I wasn’t thrilled with Amazon's delivery service which was called CEVA logistics. I got an automated call from an area code 855 to confirm a date and time for delivery (12/16). I organized with my husband for him to be home to receive the delivery. However, it arrived early (12/9) and wasn’t delivered properly; the delivery driver called me from his cell (which was uncomfortable) and acted like it was my fault that I wasn’t home to receive it even though I told him I coordinated with the logistics company for a different date . I asked him to put it under the porch so it was covered. He left it half off the porch exposed to rain in the middle of my sidewalk on the pallet (which now I need to dispose of). Thankfully the machine wasn’t damaged when we opened it, but I contacted Amazon right away and they recognized this incident as a problem and made it right for us. While I don’t know how we could have avoided this we took pictures and contacted Amazon, and I suggest if you have issues you do the same.Overall, I’m happy with the treadmill, but the delivery could definitely be improved.

After having this treadmill for 8 months and using it multiple times a week, this treadmill has been exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a basic, reliable treadmill that would support regular use as I worked to improve my cardio this year.• Setup was relatively easy. I completed about 95% of assembly by myself. While I probably could have handled the entire assembly by myself, I did ask for help when installing the crossbar/handles.• I'm 5'11 and 225 lbs. I needed a treadmill that would support my height (long legs) and weight and with this treadmill, I've never felt like I had to shorten my strides or anything like that. And my dad, who is 6'1 and 270 lbs has been able to use it as well.• I'm located in Southern California and I keep the treadmill in the garage. So far, I have had no issues with keeping it in there. I believe keeping it in the garage can void the warranty, but honestly, I usually don't care about warranties and they don't factor into my purchase decision. And for the price of this treadmill, I'm fortunate enough that I'd be able to buy another should the worst happen and it stops working.• I am not a fast runner by any means and I hate inclines, so the 10mph and 10% maximum limits work perfectly fine for me. I'm nowhere close to getting towards those maximum limits.• This treadmill is designed to work with iFit. I did try a few classes with the free trial and while it was nice to have the program automatically adjust the treadmills, I just couldn't get into the classes the way I have with Peloton. I do have a Peloton subscription that I primarily used for cycling classes and now I use the app for treadmill classes as well. I do wish this treadmill had the control knobs for speed/incline as it would help a lot with the Peloton classes, especially if doing intervals. But I've been able to make do without them.• Overall, for the price of this treadmill, I cannot complain. I've been very happy with the purchase so far!

Purchased the T5 treadmill 3 months ago to replace my previous treadmill which was 33 years old, and had been through 4 relocations across the US. What a champ. I am generally easy on my gear and my things last as I take care of them, even though I use my treadmill frequently as I run and train 5-6 days a week for running and multisport events. I found this one to be a good price and had incline and the speed features I wanted. Setup was easy, I did it myself and while the machine is heavy it was well packed and I had no problems by myself. Running on the machine is solid, and it does have a rack feature to hold a phone or tablet securely- and it works. The rack itself isn’t grounded directly to the floor, so your water bottle and anything else you put in the rack compartments will bounce around. I had a drum sound coming from the belt that while customer service wasn’t able to solve, they were responsive and it doesn’t affect the performance of the treadmill and it can’t be heard or felt while using it. There are videos to assist with belt tightening and maintenance so it’s easy to maintain if needed. It’s a basic machine so if you need additional features then look at other Nordictrack units. I’m looking for many years of service from this machine.
