T Series Treadmills for Home | T5, T6.5s, T7, T10, T16

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.

Fairly easy to assemble, it was packaged well for protection. My husband and I put it together less than 30min. It’s easily movable(front wheels) and sturdier than you would think for the build and affordable price. Incline transitions aren’t speedy but smooth. We got it as an addition to our garage gym. Doesn’t feel bulky or space consuming(although we still not set on where to have it 🤔). Cup holders couldn’t fit my tumbler but as reference the tall can of liquid death fits and has wiggle room. (Not sponsored by liquid death 😅) I got a good walk and run on it, it feels good, I don’t feel like there is hard impact on my legs/knees. So far, I love it and look forward to using it more and maybe seeing if my dog will use it 🤔. I personally don’t have interest in using the ifit subscription but cool that it’s compatible.

12/01/2024 UPDATE: This treadmill is still going strong and I am really loving it. There are a couple things that surprised me - one is that sometimes if I unplug it without turning it off first, it will run a calibration on the incline as soon as it is turned on again - it freaked me out the first time. I called support and they walked me through taking the cover off the motor section just to observe some lights on the motherboard. All checked out fine and the tech told me that it was common for the treadmill to do this. Another thing - and I don't mind it much... when I first start the machine and run the belt slow - say like about 1.5 - 1.9 miles an hour it seems to vary in speed slightly, however once I am up to my walking pace of 2.7 MPH it runs as smooth as silk. Since getting this treadmill 4 months ago I have lost 25lbs. I can't say in words exactly how much I love it. This T Series 5 treadmill is exactly what I was looking for in a treadmill - no frills, just a sturdy surface to walk on and a screen with metrics on it. I have PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease), which is my main motivation for buying this. Patients with PAD can generally improve the comfort of walking longer distances by exercising on a treadmill regularly, at least so I am told. Well, I tend to believe it is true because since I have been using this treadmill I can walk considerably further without pain. The treadmill was fairly easy to assemble - it took me about 45 minutes by myself. Once that was done I tried it out and it is awesome. Having this right in my home is perfect, because now I can walk first thing in the morning without having to drive to the park. I also live in the Arizona Desert so at this time of year walking outdoors isnt a good idea. I am not using the iFit on the machine. When I registered the machine there were some things about iFit that seemed shady so I didn't do it. It works fine manually by itself - don't need to waste money on any superfluous exercise program - you can burn calories without it. It is a Nordic Trac - so hopefully the brand name means something about the durability of this treadmill. I noticed they don't have this model on the Nordic Trac website - and it is hard to find any info on it anywhere really. Nonetheless I just felt better buying a brand name that had some weight to it (140lbs) as opposed to some of the no name treadmills that are 100lbs or less. I am going to get the extended service plan though because I know nothing about treadmills.

Overall, I am quite pleased with this Treadmill. My old one died after 20 years of use. I didn't look forward to trying to get a new one in the house. I got the old one out by taking it apart and I was pleased to learn that this one comes partially disassembled in a very reasonably sized box. The unit is extremely well packaged and there was no damage from shipping at all, even though the the package weighs around 140 pounds. The walking platform and motor assembly is all one piece and does not fold like other treadmills. The instructions do say that two people are required for assembly. Two people would make a couple of steps easier, but are by no means required. I was able to do it all myself. I was just barely able to lift the big piece and wrestle it into the house. 3 or 4 pounds more and I don't think I would have been able to lift it. Once I got all the pieces inside, it was time to start assembling. The instructions are well written and it was mostly clear what had to be done. Unfortunately, I hit a snag on step 4. I got the wire through the upright and the grommet installed with little problem. The next step was to remove the screw that they used to hold the wire tie in the upright and use a different screw to attach the ground wire to that hole. The ground wire screw would not thread into the hole. The proper screw is, of course, a machine screw, but the temporary screw they had in the hole was not. It was a completely different thread and it boogered up the first thread or two in the upright. I stopped at this point so as not to make things worse by completely stripping out the hole in the upright. I figured I could just run a tap through the hole to clean up the threads and be off to the races. I went to get a tap, thinking that the screw looked like 6-32 or 8-32. It turns out it was neither, it is very close in size to a #8 screw, but it has more like 36 teeth per inch than 32. Now what, I don't believe anyone makes an 8-36 screw. Oh crap, the dumb thing is metric and I don't have any metric taps. Again, Amazon to the rescue. They had a metric tap and die set to me that same night. Turns out, the screw in question is M4 X .7. Once that was sorted out, the rest was easy. I like that it is smaller (narrower and shorter) than my old one. I like that it doesn't go overboard with electronics (though just a smidge more would be nice). I don't really like that it moves around a lot more than my old one, but that would be due to the fact that it is smaller and lighter. I wouldn't mind so much, but since it comes with a tablet holder, I had planned to put a tablet there running Kindle software so I can read while I walk without having to hold the tablet in my hand. With the whole thing rocking around, it was a little difficult to focus on the Kindle. The console display is quite small, which is generally a good thing as I only use the most basic features of the machine anyway. In this case, it would be nice if the display was slightly larger. All of the treadmills I have used, including my old one, have a graphic display of a generic running track and it is easy to track progress by counting laps. This one will tell you how far you have gone, but there is no quick reference graphic to depict where you are in the lap and I missed that from the very beginning. I realize that you get what you pay for and for this price it's not reasonable to expect too much, but a little more functionality shouldn't break the bank. Somehow I doubt this one will last 20 years, but we'll see.

I purchased this treadmill back in November 2023 and I am extremely happy with this purchase. I did a lot of research (aka read tons of Amazon reviews on this treadmill and a few others) before deciding on this model. After three months of having this treadmill, I feel like I can give a fair review of the treadmill now. ASSEMBLY: The assembly was pretty straightforward, and it only took me and my husband about an hour to put it fully together. We carried this downstairs to our basement and that was honestly the worst part of the setup. I think this would be difficult to put together with just one person because there were pieces that required someone to hold it while the other one screwed in or anchored other pieces. The machine seems very durable and the quality seems top notch. I think that this treadmill is very average in noise I wouldn’t say it’s super quiet, but I wouldn’t say it’s super loud either. I think that the bell is smooth and walking or running on this feels very comfortable. Treadmill features: I really just wanted a simple and straightforward treadmill and that’s what I got. I’m not doing anything crazy either running or walking on it. The incline function is very easy and quick to adjust. The speed function is quick and easy to increase while using. I will say that the heart rate monitor doesn’t work super great on this and to be honest I’ve only been able to get a couple readings from it. I’m not really concerned though because I use my Apple Watch for my workouts which track my heart rate anyways. The screen size didn’t make a difference for me so I opted for the smaller screen. I don’t need anything fancy when I’m working out and listening to music. Pros: -Quick and easy set up can be done in an hour or two with two people. -Great price for highly durable and high-quality treadmill. -Great for a quick workout if you’re a parent and struggle to find time to get to a gym or if you don’t have childcare so you can workout. This has been great having a treadmill at home so I can get in a quick workout while my kids are playing. Having access to a treadmill has allowed me to workout while still being at home with my two small kids. Cons: -Heart rate device doesn’t track heart rate very easily. Very hit or miss. -Pausing your workouts if you pause it too long then you can’t restart where you were. You have to reset the whole workout. That really bothered me. I have a two-year-old and four-year-old and sometimes I have to pause my workout to get them a snack and it makes it harder to jump back into it if I have to reset the whole machine. Overall a great treadmill and I’m super happy I chose this model because it’s just what I needed to get back to working out with two small kids at home.

I bought this for my mother, it arrived on time. No issues. I paid for the expert installation, which we had no problems. 15 minutes after the technician left, the thing stopped working. Of course I was at work, so when this occurred my mom did not know what to do. She called the tech back and he confirmed he could not figure out why it stopped. Later that evening I stopped by my moms house to see what the story was. Everything seemed to work except the belt. Now I have to call NordicTrack and see when they can send someone out. Amazon, is pretty good about offering solutions as far as returns. I was given 3 options. 1. Call Norditrack 2. Have a local repair person fix it, and they would refund me $120.00 3. Complete refund on both the unit and shipping (I would assume the 3 year maintenance plan). I am giving this 1 star because despite some of the good and bad stories, there should be no reason why this thing should have died. I am hoping I get a quick response tomorrow and we can work from there. I will update as we go along. ***************UPDATE So it was initially decided that the motor was broken on the machine by the technician who was dispatched about a week later. It took about 2 weeks to receive another motor. Add a few days to dispatch another tech at this point we are talking almost a month since the machine has arrived. (I was actually contemplating of just doing a return because it was nearing the time to pay the charge on my credit card.) Back to the story, so the tech shows up, we have the new motor, and an excited mom, I then find out that its not the motor, but the control panel. Again back to square one, another 2 weeks for delivery. Again a couple days to dispatch a technician once the part arrived. Tech arrived installed the new control panel and the machine runs, and hasn't had a problem since. Its been working with no issues for about 2 months now. Mom is happy, but I'm not really sure it was worth it. At this point I can't recommend purchasing this unit through this sales channel. Amazon was perfect but I don't know if it is Norditrack, the warehouse who holds this equipment, XPO who ships this equipment, the tech who installed this equipment... bottom line... a product was purchased for over $700 and it didn't work for almost two months from the day the transaction was completed. We weren't given anything for our troubles. Yes we weren't told "oh well sorry no refunds, all sales are final", we were offered a refund of $120 if we decided to let Norditrack off the hook and go with a local repair person, but there was nothing saying "we are sorry for what happened, the month and a half that was lost will be on us" (the company that failed to delight you as a customer). The only power as a customer is a review, to forewarn others of such an awful experience. I work in the customer service industry, so I know how hard it can be to please customers. In this case, the product offer and the services to support it were abysmal. Sincerely, Sam K.

I bought this treadmill in November 2023, and it took two plus years of active use for me to leave a detailed review of my experience. For the sake of brevity, I am going to break this review into sections: purchase, delivery, packaging, assembly, aesthetics, and daily use. Lastly, I will provide my personal opinion for those thinking of buying one. Purchase: I bought the NordicTrack T Series 6.5S Treadmill in November 2023 using a free trial of Amazon Prime. I paid about twenty bucks extra for "room of choice" delivery, meaning it would be brought into my living space; otherwise, delivery would be to the front door. Buy it new, as a reconditioned or used model might come with a few missing parts. I did not buy the protection plan, but consider getting one if you're clumsy or the treadmill will be used by multiple people. As a base for the treadmill, I bought the Sunny Health & Fitness Non-Slip Home Gym Mat. Regardless of your floor type, you need a durable mat to keep dust out of the internal components. Delivery: It's better to be at home when this is delivered, and I was home that day. The delivery truck was like one of those moving trucks due to the item's weight. It was a good thing I was home because I helped carry that heavy box to the second floor without it breaking. Packaging: The entire treadmill was well-packaged. The running deck came in one piece, as did the computer screen. Other parts were well-labelled. The dread of putting it all together was too much, so I left the delivery box sitting there for two days. Assembly: They recommend you have another person to help with assembly, but I did it all by myself. The initial step is to identify where you want the treadmill to go and use that space as your assembly area. I live in an apartment, so I chose the living room as the best spot. Carefully remove each part from the box and count them to ensure everything needed is included. The running board is the heaviest, and it comes with the motor pre-installed. Most of the tools needed to put it all together are included. The included diagrammed pictures and instructions can be confusing to follow. I found the diagrams to be full of assumptions and the font was too small to read. But no worries—there are YouTube videos that can help. (I used two YouTube videos to help speed up assembling the treadmill, but Amazon frowns on external links embedded in reviews, so you'll have to do your own search). Both videos offered immense help as I put the NordicTrack treadmill together. Take your time, as this is not a race. It took me several solitary hours to complete the assembly. If you're not good at assembling things or are not mechanically inclined, I would suggest you pay extra for professional assembly. On the other hand, the joy of putting it all together by yourself cannot be quantified. Aesthetics: When fully assembled, the treadmill looks good. It is far better than the ones in my apartment complex gym. The two videos mentioned will show you how to bypass the unwanted membership stuff required by NordicTrack to get the treadmill started. Daily Use: I use the heck out of this treadmill, and after two years it's still going strong. It has a lifting mechanism that puts the running deck upright for easy moving and storage. This mechanism came in handy when I moved to another apartment complex. I keep things simple; the treadmill is used only for walking or running. The many incline settings can be helpful when looking for a more intense workout. I have never used the sound system nor the fitness membership offerings from NordicTrack. Personal Opinion And Verdict: If you're on the fence about getting one, I say go ahead and splurge—provided you're going to use it to stay in shape. It's far cheaper than even the cheapest gym membership, but you need to be self-motivated to use it several times a week. Do not buy one and then keep it out of sight until it's needed. Mine is in my living room where I see it every day, which motivates me to use it several times a week. Is it a good treadmill? Hell yes, it's probably better than the ones I have tried in many gyms over the years. Will it help you lose weight and stay in shape? Absolutely, provided you use it as intended.

This was my first treadmill purchase and I spent several weeks researching various models and reading product reviews to become as informed as possible. To start with, my wife and I LOVE our new Nordic Track! Is it perfect? No. Those who reserve 5 stars for only a perfect item will never rate anything 5 stars. It is a very good treadmill in my experience and while I did read of some people having technical issues, that has not been my experience. I have been regularly using my treadmill for 3 months now, so I do have a decent amount of experience with it in order to leave a fair review. One of the things I really like about this treadmill is the iFit compatibility. There are so many different types of workouts you can select with a full range of beginner to experienced in all categories. You can choose walking, hiking, running, cross-training, walk-run, etc. and there are several series for beginners and advanced users as well. Weight loss, running series, incline series, and more. They have a great assortment of trainers and the treadmill syncs to the workout you choose and adjusts the speed and incline automatically throughout the workout. You do have the ability to easily override the auto adjustments in case you need to slow it down or want to speed it up more, but it is really nice being able to just focus on form and enjoy the workout without having to change speed and incline throughout. I assembled the treadmill myself and it was very easy to do. Only the last part required a second person to assist and in total, it took me about 2 hours from start to finish. The instruction manual is concise and easy to follow. I was missing two small screws that secure the cup holders in place, but one call and they were quickly shipped out to me and arrived 3 days later. These missing screws did not prevent me from using my treadmill in the meantime. I don't fold my treadmill regularly as I don't need the floor space, but I did include a picture of the folded position so you can see how it looks. If you have a lack of floor space but still want a treadmill, this may be the answer. The motor is not very loud in my opinion. It is a treadmill and there is going to be some noise. When the incline is increasing or going down, the noise is more distinct, but it really does not sound louder than one should expect to hear from a motor raising and lowering a heavy treadmill with someone on it. The incline has a range of 0-10 and that is perfectly good for where I am at. I suppose endurance runners and very advanced users may want more of an incline, but it is ideal to me. The speed range is from 1-10 miles and I have only taken it up to 6.5mph so far. Maybe one day I will hit 10mph and wish I could go faster, but I think I am pretty good with the speed range for a long time. I purchased the 3-year maintenance warranty on Amazon and recommend it if only to have it professionally serviced once per year. I do not want to have to deal with extra out of pocket costs if something breaks down and for $89, you can hardly go wrong. You will see when you register your treadmill on the Nordic Track site that they will offer you the same coverage, but it is a lot more expensive. Buy it through Amazon. Finally, some people don't like the iFit membership cost. It is $15 per month or $39 per month for a family plan. I received 2 free months with my purchase and renewed it as soon as my free trial was up because it's such a great feature. If you do not want an iFit membership, you can still use the treadmill in manual mode as well as the 20 preset programs the treadmill comes with. I think it would still be a great treadmill without iFit, but I encourage you to at least use the free iFit trial period before deciding you don't want it. The other models of this treadmill include bigger screens and higher inclines. I may upgrade myself in 3 years, but if you want a great first treadmill, I highly recommend this one.

I bought this treadmill during an unbeatable Amazon sale (thank you Amazon!!!) and added the very reasonable Room of Choice delivery plus a 2-year Asurion warranty for peace of mind. For the price, this treadmill is unbeatable. It’s a solid, full-sized treadmill that offers speeds up to 10 MPH (I’ll never get near that top speed 😅) and inclines up to 10%, which is a great way to add intensity to walking workouts. The hydraulic lift is a nice touch that's usually only seen on much higher end models and it makes the treadmill easy to fold up - it’s surprisingly lightweight when lifting the track. I also appreciate the thoughtful design details, like the small hole in the water bottle holder that prevents puddles if your water bottle drips. I can't comment on setup as I paid for the installation - I'm not a handy person but there are Yotube videos showing the installation process for those who are handy. Also, even though there's an ad included in the treadmill box saying to sign up with iFit before turning on the treadmill, I’ve never signed up for iFit and have had zero issues—zero lag time to start my treadmill workout, no unwanted pop-ups. I just press the power button at the front base (the "reset/off" button), hit “start” on the treadmill main panel and I’m good to go. You do not need to sign up for iFit whatsoever -once the treadmill is assembled, you can just turn it on and go. I watch shows on my iPad while walking/jogging, so I wasn't interested in the iFit subscription. Now, are there a couple of things that could improve with the treadmill? Sure - it could use a pause button (there is no pause button - it's either "stop" or "start"), I do wish there was a bit more track space before the front deck starts since in the beginning I did accidentally hit my foot/sneaker on the front deck (I'm used to it now and don't walk/jog as close to the front panel), and it could have other features that higher end treadmills have....but you know what? Then the price would be in a higher tier as well. If you’re looking for a dependable treadmill at a great value, this one is a no-brainer and I'm really happy with it. Finally, a huge shout-out to the Amazon delivery team (Brar and Amrit) who managed to get this treadmill into my basement—a tough job, and they handled it like pros.

Tengo un mes utilizando el producto y está mejor de lo que esperaba, me sorprendió la comunicación que tiene el equipo para que todo funcione correctamente. Es muy facil de ensamblar pero recomiendo contactar al soporte técnico para que un técnico acuda a instalarla.

Muy conforme en mis primeras dos semanas de tener el equipo, nunca había visto un producto con las instrucciones y apoyos necesarios para armarlo, todo checó perfectamente y en perfectas condiciones. Solo una recomendación, el producto está muy pesado, es altamente recomendado manejarlo entre dos persona para transportarlo. El armado lo pude hacer sin ayuda extra.

La caminadora NordicTrack T5 es una de las mejores máquinas domésticas que he utilizado y sin duda, una gran mejoría sobre mi caminadora anterior. Aunque se trata de una caminadora muy sencilla y que no tiene pantalla para utilizar directamente los programas de entrenamiento de la marca, puede usarse en conjunto con una tablet o un teléfono celular para utilizarlos, aunque esto requiere una suscripción pagada. El motor, la banda, el elevador eléctrico (hasta 9°) y la construcción son muy buenos y puede utilizarse hasta 14 km/h sin problema, por lo que resulta adecuada para realizar ejercicios de intervalo y otros entrenamientos de intensidad variable. Considerando su precio, que estaba en descuento, podría decir que es una excelente compra a largo plazo en comparación con caminadoras más baratas, pero sin elementos lujosos, centrada en el ejercicio.

Absolutely love this treadmill. Exactly what we hoped for.
