Nordic Track treadmills are known for their comprehensive
range of features. But it’s not just features that determine
the quality of a treadmill. This article takes a closer look
at the Nordic Track range... Nordic Track treadmills are actually
produced by Icon Health and Fitness. In fact, if you’ve
read some of our other treadmill reviews you’ll know
that Icon is one of the biggest producers of exercise equipment
in the world. Their impressive portfolio of subsidiary companies
includes Reebok, Welso, Proform and Weider.
Ranging from around $1000 to $2000 you can class Nordic Track
treadmills in the mid price range. Smooth treadmills (click
for our full review) are quickly becoming the gold standard
in this price category so how do Nordic Track compare?
Firstly, Nordic Track treadmills tend to be more feature
laden. For example, most of their running decks use what they
term as "Reflex Deck Technology". In English this
means that as you step down, the deck flattens to absorb the
impact and then springs back to its original shape. It is
very comfortable to run on but doesn’t necessarily replicate
the demands of road or track running (if that’s what
you’re training for).
Nordic’s electronic consoles mirror what you’d
expect to find on a club machine with a good array of readouts
and preset programs. However, Smooth are an equal match in
this department. More importantly, what about component construction,
durability and stability?
A good indication of the quality of any treadmill (and indeed
any piece of exercise equipment) is the duration of the warranty.
NordicTrack treadmills have what is called a "3-2-1 warranty"
which covers the motor for three years, the frame and other
parts for two years and all labor charges for one year.
As a comparison to Nordic Track treadmills , Smooth
treadmills from Smooth Fitness should be considered.In
terms of build quality, design, and sheer value for money,
Smooth Treadmills are better than other brands costing twice
or three times as much – you will find it hard to beat
Smooth Treadmills.
