NordicTrack T Series Treadmill

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.

I am happy that we picked this treadmill (T Series 5). The compact size makes it easy to find a location where we can keep the treadmill out so that we can use it more often, but still be able to move it to clean, etc. Exercise equipment is more useful when it is out and available. Its minimalist profile is nice because it doesn't feel like it's dominating the room. The performance is solid and smooth and quiet. It's solid and strong enough for running and the incline adjustments are nice. We have it on a rubber mat on top of a hard surface, so I'd expect it to be even more quiet if in a carpeted room. I like the smaller control stand/handrails as it makes the treadmill more compact and less obtrusive in the room. That said, I wouldn't recommend putting all of your weight on the handrails as they might not hold up over time since all of the support is on the bolts at the bottom. These are more to steady yourself if you stumble or to rest your hands, which works for us. If more support is needed, then I would suggest looking at one of NordicTrack's larger treadmills. Our kids' friends treat them like parallel bars, so we have to pay attention when we have company. Also, note that the track width is narrower than the larger units. This works for our needs but keep this in mind if your gate is not as steady as it once was as there isn't as much side-to-side step area as on the larger treadmills. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase, and I am glad that I didn't we didn't go with one of the less expensive "off" brands.

It’s better than expected and it’s built super sturdy. I’m 6’2 and just under 260 lbs and it does everything that I need when it comes to sturdiness, tread size and functionality. The only down side is that you have to download an App and jump through a couple hoops in order to get it started, but once you get it started it’s easy to use and a solid buy. Also, delivery was a couple days late but given the world climate right now combined with the size, I wasn’t surprised. Prior to ordering on Amazon I had tried to order a treadmill straight from Horizon Fitness after lengthy research, but after the transaction was approved, a month later I was notified that they didn’t deliver to my location in the city, and I’m not sure if that was the actual reason given the high demand for home exercise equipment. That being said, when I searched on Amazon for a treadmill almost everything was “out of stock”, and with me being a bigger dude, I needed one that had the necessary specs to handle my size in order to get a good sweat on. So after further research on manufacturers and specs, I was lucky to find this unit that satisfied all my requirements/needs with only “2 left in stock” at a reasonable price, and it was delivered straight to my door and I’m super happy with it. With all that is happening in this upside down world right now, I recognize the need to support local business but in some circumstances that is extremely difficult, and say what you will about Amazon and their success during these trying times. In my experience, with an increase in online purchases, Amazon has in place the capacity, inventory and capabilities to deliver when needed. I know that there is much controversy surrounding Amazon with their employee practices and their social, environmental and political impacts as well, but given the current world climate Amazon has continued to deliver consumer goods and necessities in a timely fashion in order to provide some semblance of normalcy during these trying times and I can respect that. That being said, I also believe that Amazon has the ability, the resources and the social responsibility to do more to help their hard working employees and their worldwide community of consumers/supporters as many local businesses that support their communities are currently struggling to stay alive while Amazon thrives. In conclusion, you can tell that I have some extra time on my hands given the length of this review, and with the current world climate, home exercise equipment is as, if not more popular during a pandemic than toilet paper. If you’re lucky enough to be able to get one of these units given the current supply and demand... enjoy! Moreover, if you’ve read this far into this review, to quote the legendary Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod, “stay fit and stay safe!”

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.

The NordicTrack T 6.5 S is a sturdy, well-built treadmill that offers a smooth and quiet running experience. The motor runs quietly even at higher speeds, and the deck provides decent cushioning, making it joint-friendly. It feels stable during use—no wobbling or creaking—which is impressive for a treadmill in this price range. That said, installation was moderately difficult due to the treadmill's weight and awkward assembly steps. It’s definitely a two-person job. Moving it around is no joke—it’s heavy and bulky, so plan accordingly if you need to take it upstairs or into tight spaces. Now, the Room-of-Choice delivery experience via Amazon was absolutely pathetic and disappointing. There was no prior call or coordination, and the delivery team arrived unannounced. They walked into my home with dirty shoes and no shoe covers, showing a total lack of professionalism. Worse, they were ill-equipped to handle a heavy item. They dragged the treadmill box across my entryway, scratching the floor in the process. When asked to take it upstairs, they refused, saying it was too heavy and offered to drag it—something I declined to avoid damage. I eventually had to help them move it myself, which defeats the purpose of a paid delivery service. To make matters worse, when I contacted Amazon about the poor delivery and property damage, their response was unhelpful and dismissive, offering no real resolution or accountability. Compared to this, Costco's delivery service is miles better—timely, respectful, and well-equipped. As for the tech features, while the treadmill is iFit-compatible, the iFit experience itself is not essential. Unless you're really into subscription-based guided workouts, it's more of a gimmick. You can use the treadmill perfectly well without iFit, and most of the core functionality works just fine without it.
