About NordicTrack Treadmills

NordicTrack has been manufacturing fitness equipment since 1975, originally known for cross-country ski machines before expanding into treadmills. The brand sits under iFIT Inc., which also owns ProForm, Freemotion, and the iFIT training platform. That shared ownership is important because every NordicTrack treadmill is designed around iFIT compatibility.

Three things define the NordicTrack experience in the UK market.

First, iFIT integration. This is both NordicTrack’s biggest strength and its most divisive feature. iFIT offers over 10,000 trainer-led workouts, virtual outdoor routes filmed worldwide (with automatic speed and incline adjustment to match terrain), structured training programmes, and an AI coach. If you use it, it’s genuinely transformative. If you don’t want a subscription, the treadmills still work in manual mode — but you’re paying for screen hardware that goes underutilised. A 30-day free trial is included with every model.

Second, the T Series range. NordicTrack’s current UK lineup is built around the T Series (budget to mid-range) and the Commercial series (premium). The T Series offers seven models at escalating price points, each adding meaningful capability. It’s a well-structured range where stepping up genuinely gets you something better, not just a different colour.

Third, build quality. NordicTrack treadmills are generally heavier and more substantial than competing brands at the same price. The SpaceSaver folding design with EasyLift Assist is consistent across all models and works reliably. SelectFlex adjustable cushioning (choose between soft and firm underfoot) is available on every T Series model — a genuine differentiator over fixed-cushioning competitors.

A note on warranty: NordicTrack offers a lifetime frame, 10-year motor, and 2-year parts and labour warranty on most UK models — but only if you register within 28 days of purchase. Miss that window and you drop to a basic 12-month cover. Register immediately at ifitsupport.eu. This is less generous than Reebok’s automatic warranty which requires no registration.

Where to buy: NordicTrack treadmills are available in the UK through Amazon, Fitness Superstore, John Lewis, Argos, and the official NordicTrack website. Prices vary between retailers. We generally recommend Amazon for fast delivery and straightforward returns.

The T Series Range

NordicTrack T Series 5

Price: ~£499 | Motor: 2.7 CHP | Max Speed: 10 mph | Incline: 10% powered | Deck: 130 × 46 cm | Max User Weight: 113 kg | Folding: Yes (SpaceSaver with EasyLift Assist) | Screen: 5″ LCD + device shelf

The T Series 5 is NordicTrack’s budget entry and one of the best treadmills under £500 in the UK. For the money, you get a surprisingly capable machine: 2.7 CHP motor, 10% powered incline, SelectFlex adjustable cushioning, and full iFIT compatibility via your own device on the built-in shelf.

The 5″ LCD console displays your key stats clearly but there’s no built-in touchscreen. This is a use-your-own-device setup. Place your phone or tablet on the shelf, connect via Bluetooth, and the treadmill responds to iFIT trainer commands automatically. Without iFIT, it runs perfectly well in manual mode — the screen shows speed, distance, time, calories, and incline.

The running deck at 130 × 46 cm is the most compact in the range. It’s fine for walking, jogging, and light running, but taller users or those with longer strides will notice the limitation at pace. If deck size matters to you, the T Series 6.5S offers 140 × 51 cm at a similar price.

At 113 kg max user weight, this is built for lighter users. Heavier runners should look at the T Series 9 (147 kg) or the Reebok FR30z (150 kg).

The T Series 5 won’t blow you away on specs, but for under £500 it delivers genuine NordicTrack build quality, smart features, and a folding design that works. It’s the treadmill you buy when you’re not sure you’ll stick with indoor running — and if you do stick with it, you’ll eventually want to upgrade.

Best for: Budget buyers, beginners, walkers, and light joggers who want NordicTrack quality without a big commitment. The best entry point to the iFIT ecosystem.

NordicTrack T Series 6.5S

Price: ~£499 | Motor: 2.6 CHP | Max Speed: 10 mph | Incline: 10% powered | Deck: 140 × 51 cm | Max User Weight: 136 kg | Folding: Yes (SpaceSaver with EasyLift Assist) | Screen: 5″ LCD + device shelf

The T Series 6.5S sits at a similar price to the T Series 5 but trades a slightly less powerful motor (2.6 CHP vs 2.7 CHP) for a meaningfully bigger running deck and higher weight capacity. That trade-off is worth understanding because it determines which of these two budget NordicTrack machines is right for you.

The deck at 140 × 51 cm is a genuine step up from the T Series 5’s 130 × 46 cm. That’s 10 cm longer and 5 cm wider — enough to make jogging and light running feel noticeably more comfortable. The width in particular matters: at 51 cm, you get the same width as NordicTrack’s more expensive T Series 8 and 9 models.

Max user weight jumps to 136 kg, making this a better option for heavier users who’d be pushing the T Series 5’s 113 kg limit. The 0.1 CHP motor difference is negligible in daily use — both run at the same top speed, same incline range, and feel virtually identical during normal training.

You get the same 5″ LCD console, device shelf, SelectFlex cushioning, SpaceSaver folding, and iFIT compatibility as the T Series 5. Twenty built-in workout programmes are loaded onto the machine itself, so it works perfectly without any subscription.

The 6.5S doesn’t include ActivePulse heart rate training or SmartAdjust — those features arrive with the T Series 7. If you’re training in manual mode or using basic iFIT features, you won’t miss them. If smart heart rate training matters, step up to the T Series 7.

Best for: Budget buyers who want a bigger deck and higher weight capacity than the T Series 5 at a similar price. The better choice if you’re taller, heavier, or plan to jog regularly rather than just walk.

NordicTrack T Series 7

Price: ~£599–£699 | Motor: 2.6 CHP Quiet Drive | Max Speed: 10 mph | Incline: 10% powered | Deck: 140 × 51 cm | Max User Weight: 136 kg | Folding: Yes (SpaceSaver with EasyLift Assist) | Screen: 5″ LCD + device shelf

The T Series 7 sits between the 6.5S and the T Series 8 in NordicTrack’s UK range, and it’s the model that adds smart training features without jumping to a touchscreen. On paper, the motor, speed, incline, and deck size are identical to the 6.5S. So what are you paying the extra £100–200 for?

ActivePulse heart rate monitoring is the headline addition. With a compatible Bluetooth heart rate monitor (sold separately), the treadmill automatically adjusts speed and incline to keep you in your target heart rate zone. It’s genuinely useful for structured cardiovascular training — fat-burn zones, endurance building, recovery sessions — and takes the guesswork out of pacing yourself.

SmartAdjust learns from your manual adjustments during iFIT workouts and personalises future sessions based on how you actually train. If you consistently bump up the speed when a trainer suggests 5 mph, the system adapts to your level over time. It’s subtle but effective if you’re a regular iFIT user.

You also get Bluetooth headphone compatibility (the 6.5S doesn’t have this), a USB-C charging port, and slightly improved speaker integration. These are quality-of-life features rather than game-changers, but they make the daily experience smoother.

The T Series 7 uses NordicTrack’s Quiet Drive motor, the same 2.6 CHP unit as the 6.5S but marketed with an emphasis on reduced noise. In practice, both models are similarly quiet at normal speeds.

If you plan to use iFIT and want smart heart rate training, the T Series 7 justifies the premium over the 6.5S. If you’re training in manual mode most of the time, save the money and go with the 6.5S — the core running experience is identical.

Best for: iFIT users who want smart heart rate training and personalised workouts without paying for a touchscreen. The sweet spot between budget and mid-range in the T Series lineup.

NordicTrack T Series 8

Price: ~£799 | Motor: 3.0 CHP | Max Speed: 12.5 mph | Incline: 12% powered | Deck: 152 × 51 cm | Max User Weight: 136 kg | Folding: Yes (SpaceSaver with EasyLift Assist) | Screen: 7″ HD touchscreen

The T Series 8 is where the NordicTrack range stops being a budget proposition and starts being a proper running machine. Every meaningful spec jumps up from the T Series 7: more motor, more speed, more incline, bigger deck, and — crucially — an actual touchscreen.

The 3.0 CHP motor pushes to 12.5 mph, which is fast enough for serious running, tempo sessions, and interval training. That’s a substantial jump from the 10 mph ceiling on the T Series 5, 6.5S, and 7. If you run at pace rather than jog, this is the minimum motor you should be looking at.

12% powered incline is a proper hill training capability, up from 10% on the lower models. Combined with the bigger 152 × 51 cm deck, you get a running surface that’s comfortable for runners up to about 6 ft 1 at full stride. The deck matches the T Series 9 on dimensions — it’s only the Commercial 2450 that goes wider.

The 7″ HD touchscreen is the first built-in screen in the T Series lineup. It displays iFIT workouts, virtual routes, and your stats in a format that’s leagues ahead of the 5″ LCD on the lower models. It’s not huge, but it’s bright, responsive, and makes the iFIT experience feel like a proper feature rather than an afterthought.

All the smart features carry over from the T Series 7: ActivePulse, SmartAdjust, Bluetooth speakers, SelectFlex cushioning. The T Series 8 adds AutoBreeze, a cooling fan that adjusts airflow to match your workout intensity.

At ~£799, the T Series 8 competes directly with the Reebok Jet 200 and undercuts the Reebok Jet 300. It wins on screen and iFIT; Reebok wins on warranty simplicity and no-subscription freedom.

Best for: Regular runners who want a touchscreen iFIT experience and a capable running machine without stretching to £1,000+. The best value NordicTrack for people who actually run.

NordicTrack T Series 9

Price: ~£999–£1,299 | Motor: 3.6 CHP | Max Speed: 12.5 mph | Incline: 12% powered | Deck: 152 × 51 cm | Max User Weight: 147 kg | Folding: Yes (SpaceSaver with EasyLift Assist) | Screen: 10″ tilting HD touchscreen

The T Series 9 is where NordicTrack’s T Series stops being a budget range and starts competing with serious mid-range treadmills. The jump from the T Series 8 to the T Series 9 matters — not because the running specs change dramatically, but because the experience does.

The 3.6 CHP motor is a substantial upgrade. It’s the same unit found in the Commercial 2450, delivering smooth, confident power at all speeds. Speed transitions during interval training are seamless — there’s no hesitation when you switch between 5 mph recovery and 10 mph efforts. The motor is built for runners who push hard, not just joggers cruising along.

The running deck matches the T Series 8 at 152 × 51 cm, with the same 12% powered incline and 12.5 mph top speed. Where the T Series 9 separates itself is the screen and the overall experience.

The 10-inch tilting HD touchscreen is a world apart from the T Series 8’s 7″ display. It tilts for off-treadmill workouts, displays iFIT virtual routes with genuine immersion, and makes the automatic terrain adjustment feel like a proper feature rather than a gimmick. Scenic runs through the Alps or along a coastal path in Sardinia actually look good on a 10″ screen. On a 7″ display, they’re functional but cramped.

The T Series 9 also includes an AutoBreeze cooling fan that adjusts airflow to match your workout intensity, improved Bluetooth speakers, and all the smart features from the lower models (ActivePulse, SmartAdjust, SelectFlex). The 147 kg max user weight is generous for a folding treadmill and comfortably handles heavier runners.

A note from Fitness Superstore: the T Series 9 (NTTRT9) looks identical to the T Series 10 (NTTRT10), differing only in motor size. If you see both listed, you’re looking at the same physical machine with different power outputs.

The T Series 9 directly competes with the Reebok FR30z Floatride and Reebok Jet 300 at similar price points. The NordicTrack wins on screen quality and iFIT integration. The Reebok wins on warranty simplicity (automatic, no registration deadline) and no-subscription freedom. If you’re an iFIT user, the T Series 9 is the better buy. If you want a great treadmill that works independently of any app ecosystem, the Reebok options deserve serious consideration.

Best for: Regular runners who want a proper touchscreen experience, iFIT virtual routes, and a machine powerful enough for serious training — all in a folding design. The best mid-range NordicTrack for dedicated home runners.

NordicTrack T Series 10

Price: ~£1,149–£1,499 | Motor: 3.0 CHP | Max Speed: 12.5 mph | Incline: 12% powered | Deck: 152 × 51 cm | Max User Weight: 147 kg | Folding: Yes (SpaceSaver with EasyLift Assist) | Screen: 10″ tilting HD touchscreen

The T Series 10 is where NordicTrack’s T Series range starts to feel like a genuinely complete treadmill. You get the same full-size 152 × 51 cm deck that appears on the more expensive Commercial models, a 3.0 CHP motor that pushes to 12.5 mph, and a built-in 10″ HD touchscreen — no more propping your phone on a shelf.

The touchscreen tilts to optimise your viewing angle, and it’s your direct portal into iFIT. Sign in, and you get automatic trainer control, SmartAdjust personalisation, and the ability to stream Netflix, Spotify, and Amazon Prime directly on the screen. Without iFIT, it works in manual mode with full speed and incline control.

SelectFlex adjustable cushioning carries over from the cheaper T Series models, letting you switch between soft (joint-friendly) and firm (road-feel) underfoot. The AutoBreeze fan adjusts to your workout intensity automatically — a small touch that makes a genuine difference during harder sessions.

At 12% incline only (no decline), this sits below the Commercial range on hill training capability. But for most home runners, 12% is more than enough. The real selling point is the combination of a full-size deck, touchscreen, and 12.5 mph motor at a price that undercuts the Commercial 1250 by several hundred pounds.

The 28-day warranty registration rule applies here — register within 28 days of purchase to get the full warranty (lifetime frame, 10-year motor, 2-year parts and labour). Miss that window and you’re limited to 12 months.

Best for: Runners who’ve outgrown budget treadmills and want a touchscreen experience without jumping to the Commercial range. The sweet spot between the T Series 8 and Commercial 1250.

NordicTrack T Series 16

3.0 CHP motor | 12.5 mph | 12% incline | 152 × 51 cm deck | 16″ tilting HD touchscreen | SelectFlex cushioning | Folds | 147 kg max user | ~£1,499–£1,999

The T Series 16 is essentially the T Series 10 with a significantly larger screen — and for many buyers, that’s exactly the upgrade worth paying for. Mechanically, you get the same 3.0 CHP motor, same 12.5 mph top speed, same 12% incline, and the same full-size 152 × 51 cm deck with SelectFlex adjustable cushioning. What changes is the viewing experience: a 16-inch tilting HD touchscreen replaces the 10-inch panel, making iFIT trainer-led sessions, Google Maps routes, and Netflix streaming genuinely immersive rather than something you squint at mid-run.

That screen upgrade positions the T Series 16 in an interesting spot within the NordicTrack range. At £1,499–£1,999 (RRP £1,999, frequently discounted), it sits roughly £300–£500 above the T Series 10 but below the Commercial 1250 at £1,899. You’re paying purely for screen real estate — there’s no decline capability, the motor stays at 3.0 CHP, and the deck width remains at 51 cm rather than the 55 cm you get with the Commercial models. For runners who prioritise the interactive iFIT experience but don’t need decline training or a wider belt, that trade-off makes sense.

Build quality matches the rest of the upper T Series range. The unit weighs 113 kg assembled and supports users up to 147 kg — identical to the T Series 10. SpaceSaver folding with EasyLift Assist keeps it practical for smaller spaces, and the AutoBreeze fan automatically adjusts airflow intensity to match your workout effort. You also get a USB-C charging port, two 2-inch speakers with Bluetooth headphone connectivity, and full SmartAdjust/ActivePulse integration through iFIT (subscription and heart rate monitor sold separately).

Where the T Series 16 falls short is the same area as the T Series 10: no decline, no wider deck, and the standard T Series warranty rather than the Commercial-grade coverage. If you’re genuinely training hard and want decline for downhill simulation or calf/quad variation, the Commercial LE at the same £1,499 price point gives you 3% decline, a 3.6 CHP motor, and a 55 cm wide deck — albeit with a basic 7-inch LCD instead of the touchscreen. That’s the real decision at this price bracket: big screen or better mechanicals.

Best for: iFIT-committed users who want the largest possible touchscreen experience within the T Series range without jumping to Commercial pricing. Ideal if screen immersion matters more to you than decline capability or a wider running surface.

The Commercial Range

NordicTrack Commercial 1250

Price: ~£1,799–£1,899 | Motor: 3.6 CHP | Max Speed: 12.5 mph | Incline: 12% powered (+3% decline) | Deck: 55 × 152 cm | Max User Weight: 136 kg | Folding: Yes (SpaceSaver with EasyLift Assist) | Screen: 10″ tilting/pivoting HD touchscreen

The Commercial 1250 is where NordicTrack’s serious hardware begins. The step up from the T Series 10 might look subtle on paper — same 12.5 mph speed, same deck length — but two key differences matter.

First: decline training. The -3% to 12% incline range adds downhill running, which the T Series models completely lack. If you’re training for races with elevation changes or want realistic terrain simulation through iFIT’s global workouts, this is the entry point for that capability.

Second: the 2025 model widened the running belt to 55 cm (up from 51 cm on the previous version). That’s the same width as the Commercial 1750 and 2450. Five centimetres might not sound significant, but at pace with tired legs, the extra margin on each side reduces the feeling of running on a tightrope.

The 3.6 CHP motor is a meaningful upgrade from the T Series 10’s 3.0 CHP. It handles sustained running at higher speeds more comfortably, with smoother speed transitions during intervals. The motor won’t be the limiting factor for any home runner.

RunFlex cushioning replaces SelectFlex — it’s designed to mimic outdoor surfaces more closely, balancing impact absorption with the stability runners need for pushing off. The 10″ touchscreen tilts and pivots, so you can rotate it for off-treadmill iFIT workouts like yoga and strength training.

The assembled weight at around 140 kg makes this a tank. Assembly is a two-person job. Once it’s in position, you probably aren’t moving it often — even with the folding design.

Best for: Runners who want decline training and a wider deck without the price jump to the Commercial 1750. The entry point to NordicTrack’s Commercial-grade build quality.

NordicTrack Commercial 1750

Price: ~£1,999–£2,699 | Motor: 4.25 CHP | Max Speed: 12.5 mph | Incline: 12% powered (+3% decline) | Deck: 55 × 152 cm | Max User Weight: 136 kg | Folding: Yes (SpaceSaver with EasyLift Assist) | Screen: 16″ pivoting HD touchscreen

The Commercial 1750 is NordicTrack’s best-selling treadmill worldwide, and it’s easy to see why. It hits the Goldilocks zone: powerful enough for serious runners, smart enough for iFIT addicts, and folding for people who don’t have a dedicated gym room.

The 4.25 CHP motor is the same unit found in the top-of-range Commercial 2450 and the X24 incline trainer. At normal running speeds, this motor is barely working — which translates to quieter operation, faster speed changes, and a significantly longer lifespan. NordicTrack backs it with a lifetime motor warranty (with 28-day registration).

The 16-inch pivoting HD touchscreen is the 1750’s headline feature. It’s large enough to make iFIT’s global workouts genuinely immersive, and pivoting means you can spin it round for off-treadmill classes. Streaming services (Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime) are built directly into the iFIT 2.0 interface.

The Quiet Drive incline technology keeps noise to a minimum during incline changes — a small but noticeable improvement over older models. RunFlex cushioning and the -3% to 12% incline/decline range carry over from the Commercial 1250.

The 2025 model brought substantial upgrades: motor jumped from 3.75 to 4.25 CHP, screen from 14″ to 16″, and the belt widened to 55 cm. If you’re buying second-hand, check which year model you’re getting — the differences between 2024 and 2025 are significant.

Where it falls short compared to the Commercial 2450: lower max speed (12.5 mph vs 13.7 mph), lower incline (12% vs 15%), and a narrower deck (55 cm vs 56 cm). For most home users, those differences won’t matter. The 2450 is for runners chasing sub-5-minute miles.

Best for: The all-rounder. Runners who want the best balance of performance, screen quality, and value. If you only look at one NordicTrack treadmill, make it this one.

NordicTrack Commercial LE

Price: ~£1,499 | Motor: 3.6 CHP | Max Speed: 12.5 mph | Incline: 12% powered (+3% decline) | Deck: 55 × 152 cm | Max User Weight: 136 kg | Folding: Yes (SpaceSaver with EasyLift Assist) | Screen: 7″ high-contrast LCD + device shelf

The Commercial LE is NordicTrack’s clever move for runners who want Commercial-grade hardware without paying for a touchscreen they don’t need. Under the hood, it shares the same mechanical platform as the Commercial 1250: same 3.6 CHP motor, same 55 × 152 cm deck, same -3% to 12% incline/decline range, same RunFlex cushioning.

The difference is the console. Instead of a built-in touchscreen, you get a 7-inch high-contrast LCD display showing your key stats (speed, distance, time, pace, calories, incline, vertical gain) plus a device shelf for your own phone or tablet. Download the iFIT app to your device, connect via Bluetooth, and the treadmill responds to trainer commands automatically — speed and incline adjust hands-free, just like on the touchscreen models.

This is a genuinely smart design for two types of buyer. First: people who already own a good tablet and don’t want to pay an extra £300+ for a built-in screen they’ll be watching the same content on. Second: people who want the option to run without iFIT entirely — the LCD console works perfectly in manual mode with no subscription required.

ActivePulse heart rate training is supported (with a separate Bluetooth heart rate monitor), and SmartAdjust personalisation works through the iFIT app. You lose nothing in terms of workout capability — only the convenience of a built-in screen.

The AutoBreeze fan is included, and the SpaceSaver folding design with EasyLift Assist is the same as the rest of the Commercial range. Same 28-day warranty registration requirement applies.

Best for: Runners who want Commercial-grade performance at a lower price and are happy using their own device for iFIT. The best-value decline treadmill in NordicTrack’s range.

NordicTrack Commercial 2450

Price: ~£2,499 | Motor: 4.25 CHP | Max Speed: 13.7 mph | Incline: 15% powered (+3% decline) | Deck: 152 × 56 cm | Max User Weight: 182 kg | Folding: Yes (SpaceSaver with EasyLift Assist) | Screen: 24″ pivoting HD touchscreen

The Commercial 2450 sits at the top of NordicTrack’s home range, and it’s the treadmill that justifies the NordicTrack name. Everything about this machine is a step above — not incremental improvements but genuine jumps in capability.

The 4.25 CHP motor is the most powerful in the range and pushes to 13.7 mph — roughly a 4:20 per mile pace. The motor barely works at normal running speeds, which means less heat, less noise, and significantly longer lifespan. Speed transitions during intervals are instantaneous.

15% powered incline is the highest in the NordicTrack lineup, and the -3% decline adds downhill running capability that’s rare at any price. If you’re training for a hilly race, that decline feature alone might justify the premium over the T Series 9.

The running deck at 152 × 56 cm is the widest available from NordicTrack. Those extra 5 cm of width compared to the T Series models don’t sound like much, but at pace with tired legs, the additional margin on either side is reassuring. Runners over 6 ft 2 can open up their stride comfortably.

The 24-inch pivoting HD touchscreen transforms the iFIT experience. Virtual routes look stunning, trainer-led classes feel immersive, and the screen pivots for off-treadmill workouts. The speakers are built into the console and are genuinely decent. The AutoBreeze fan adjusts to your workout intensity and actually produces noticeable airflow.

The RunFlex cushioning system lets you switch between softer (joint protection) and firmer (road simulation) settings — the same concept as SelectFlex but refined for the premium market.

At ~130 kg assembled, this is a tank. Once it’s in position, it’s staying there. Even folded, the footprint is substantial. You need a dedicated space. Assembly is a two-person, 60-90 minute job.

The Commercial 2450 competes directly with the Peloton Tread. The NordicTrack wins on raw specs: faster speed, steeper incline, decline capability, wider deck, more powerful motor. The Peloton wins on content quality and community engagement. Both require subscriptions for their full experience. The choice comes down to whether you value performance or motivation more.

Best for: Serious runners who want gym-quality performance at home and don’t mind the price tag. The best home treadmill in the UK for pure running capability.

The X Series Range

NordicTrack X16

Price: ~£2,999–£3,499 | Motor: 4.25 CHP | Max Speed: 12.5 mph | Incline: 40% powered (+6% decline) | Deck: 55 × 152 cm | Max User Weight: 181 kg | Folding: No | Screen: 16″ pivoting HD touchscreen

The X16 is where NordicTrack stops being a treadmill company and starts being an incline training company. The -6% to 40% incline range is unmatched by any other home treadmill — most competitors top out at 12-15%. That’s not a spec difference; it’s an entirely different category of workout.

At 40% incline, you’re essentially climbing stairs. The calorie burn is dramatically higher than flat running, the cardiovascular demand is extreme, and the muscle engagement shifts to target glutes, hamstrings, and calves in ways flat running never will. If you’ve ever hiked a steep mountain and thought “I wish I could replicate that at home,” this is literally the machine for it.

The 4.25 CHP motor handles the mechanical load of extreme inclines smoothly. Speed tops out at 12.5 mph, which is lower than the Commercial 2450’s 13.7 mph, but at 40% incline you’ll be walking at 2.5 -4 mph and absolutely destroyed — speed isn’t the point here.

SpringFlex cushioning replaces RunFlex on the incline models, designed specifically to absorb impact on steep grades and provide stability when you’re leaning into a 40% climb. The deck is the same 55 × 152 cm size, but the non-folding design is critical to note. The mechanisms that allow 40% incline make folding impossible. This treadmill needs a permanent home.

At 181 kg max user weight, it supports heavier users than the Commercial range (136 kg). The 16″ pivoting touchscreen is identical to the Commercial 1750’s screen.

The X16 is functionally identical to the X24 in every way except screen size (16″ vs 24″) and price. If the incline range is what you’re buying, the X16 is the smarter purchase.

Best for: Incline training fanatics, hikers, HIIT enthusiasts, and anyone who wants maximum calorie burn per minute. The best incline treadmill available in the UK.

NordicTrack X24

Price: ~£3,499–£3,999 | Motor: 4.25 CHP | Max Speed: 12.5 mph | Incline: 40% powered (+6% decline) | Deck: 55 × 152 cm | Max User Weight: 181 kg | Folding: No | Screen: 24″ pivoting HD touchscreen

The X24 is the X16 with a bigger screen. That sounds reductive, but it’s genuinely the only meaningful difference. Same 4.25 CHP motor, same 40% incline to -6% decline, same 55 × 152 cm deck with SpringFlex cushioning, same 181 kg max user weight, same non-folding design.

The 24-inch pivoting HD touchscreen is the largest in NordicTrack’s range (matched only by the Commercial 2450 and Ultra series). For iFIT’s global workouts — running through the Alps, hiking Patagonian trails, walking Scottish coastlines — the 24″ screen makes the experience noticeably more immersive than 16″. The screen pivots for off-treadmill workouts, and streaming services are built in.

At ~£3,999 RRP (regularly discounted to ~£3,499), you’re paying approximately £500 more than the X16 purely for 8 extra inches of screen. Whether that’s worth it depends entirely on how much you value visual immersion during workouts. The incline training, the motor, the build quality — all identical.

The X24 replaces NordicTrack’s previous X22i and X32i models. Compared to those predecessors, the deck has been standardised to 60″ (from 65″), making the overall footprint more manageable for home use. The screen moved from a fixed console design to a flat pivoting tablet, which is a significant improvement for flexibility.

This is a 445-lb (202 kg) non-folding treadmill with a 13.66″ step-up height. At maximum incline, the deck rises substantially — check your ceiling height before purchasing. If you’re 6 ft tall, you need at least 8 ft of ceiling clearance.

Best for: Incline training enthusiasts who want the most immersive screen experience possible. If you’re spending £3,000+ on an incline trainer anyway, the screen upgrade may be worth the stretch.

The Ultra Range

NordicTrack Ultra 1

Price: ~£15,000 (estimated UK Pricing) | Motor: 3.0 CHP brushless DC | Max Speed: 15 mph | Incline: 15% powered (+3% decline) | Deck: 56 × 152 cm | Max User Weight: 181 kg | Folding: No | Screen: 24″ pivoting HD touchscreen

The Ultra 1 is NordicTrack’s flagship — released for the brand’s 50th anniversary and designed to be as much a piece of furniture as a piece of fitness equipment. At £15,000, it’s competing with commercial gym installations, not home treadmills.

The decoupled deck design is the engineering headline. The running surface is physically separated from the control hub, which means the screen and console remain completely still no matter how fast you run. On a standard treadmill, everything vibrates at speed. On the Ultra 1, the 24″ touchscreen stays rock-steady even at the 15 mph top speed. That’s a 4-minute mile pace — faster than any other NordicTrack home treadmill.

The 3.0 CHP brushless DC motor is quieter and more efficient than the traditional motors in the rest of the range. Brushless motors require less maintenance and generate less heat. The Reflex cushioning system absorbs up to 52% more impact than a flat surface, based on independent university testing.

Eight premium speakers and full-body AutoBreeze fans that adjust to your running speed create the immersive experience NordicTrack is selling at this price point. The fans blow from head to toe — not just at chest level like on other models. White oak uprights with brass metal finishes make this look nothing like a traditional treadmill.

At 339 kg assembled weight, this is emphatically not going anywhere once installed. White-glove delivery and assembly are included in the price. The 15% incline and -3% decline are less extreme than the X-series but match the Commercial 2450.

Winner of TIME’s Best Inventions 2025 and the Esquire Gadget Awards. Whether that justifies ten times the price of a Commercial 1750 is a personal question — but for premium home gyms, commercial spaces, or high-end apartment complexes, it’s genuinely in a class of its own.

Best for: Premium home gym builds, commercial fitness spaces, or runners who want the absolute best and budget isn’t a constraint. A statement piece.

NordicTrack Ultra 3

Price: ~£7,000–£7,500 (estimated UK pricing) | Motor: 3.0 CHP brushless DC | Max Speed: 15 mph | Incline: 15% powered (+3% decline) | Deck: 56 × 152 cm | Max User Weight: 181 kg | Folding: No | Screen: 24″ pivoting HD touchscreen

The Ultra 3 is the Ultra 1’s more accessible sibling — roughly half the price while retaining the core engineering innovations. The decoupled deck design carries over, keeping the screen and control hub vibration-free at all speeds. The same 3.0 CHP brushless DC motor delivers the same 15 mph top speed and -3% to 15% incline/decline range.

Where the Ultra 3 differs from the Ultra 1: four speakers instead of eight, partial-body fans instead of full-body, and the V-shaped frame uses wood panelling rather than the Ultra 1’s white oak and brass. It’s still a striking design — but it’s luxury-adjacent rather than luxury-defining.

The Ultra 3 adds some features the Ultra 1 doesn’t emphasise: ambient deck lighting illuminates the sides of the running surface, and a wireless charging dock is built into the console. RunFlex cushioning replaces the Ultra 1’s Reflex system — still excellent joint protection, but not the same university-tested impact reduction.

This is a 322 kg non-folding treadmill that measures 213 cm long × 105 cm wide × 165 cm tall. Like the Ultra 1, it needs a permanent, dedicated space. The step-up height of 9.5″ means ceiling clearance requirements are manageable for most UK homes — a 6 ft user needs about 8 ft of ceiling.

The warranty includes lifetime motor and frame coverage, with 1-year parts and labour. That’s slightly less generous than the 2-year parts coverage on the Commercial range, though the lifetime frame warranty is a step up.

UK availability may be limited — check with authorised NordicTrack UK retailers like Fitness Superstore and Fitshop. The Ultra series is relatively new and may require special ordering.

Best for: Runners who want the Ultra series’ decoupled deck design and premium aesthetics without the Ultra 1’s £15,000 price tag. A serious home gym centrepiece at roughly half the flagship cost.

NordicTrack Summary

Which NordicTrack Treadmill Should You Buy?

NordicTrack offer 15 models in the UK. Here’s the short version (prices approximate and current as of February 2026 — check retailers for sales).

Under £500 — Getting Started

Tight budget, mainly walking?T Series 5. Best value entry point with NordicTrack quality.

Budget but want a bigger deck?T Series 6.5S. Similar price, meaningfully larger running surface and higher weight capacity.

£600–£800 — Regular Runners

Want smart heart rate training?T Series 7. ActivePulse and SmartAdjust without paying for a touchscreen.

Regular runner, want a touchscreen?T Series 8. First built-in screen, proper 3.0 CHP motor for running at pace.

£999–£1,499 — Serious Training

Touchscreen on a tighter budget?T Series 10. Same deck and screen size as the T9 but with a 3.0 CHP motor at a lower price.

Want the biggest T Series screen?T Series 16. Same machine as the T10 but with a 16″ touchscreen.

Entry-level Commercial with a touchscreen?Commercial 1250. Decline capability, wider 55 cm deck, and a 10″ pivoting touchscreen.

Best all-rounder in the range?Commercial 1750. The Goldilocks machine — 4.25 CHP motor, 16″ screen, decline, and it folds. NordicTrack’s global best-seller for a reason.

Head to Head Comparisons

T Series 10 vs T Series 16: Is the Bigger Screen Worth It?

Same machine, different screen. Both have a 3.0 CHP motor, 12.5 mph top speed, 12% incline, 152 × 51 cm deck, and SelectFlex cushioning. The T Series 10 has a 10″ tilting touchscreen; the T Series 16 has a 16″ tilting touchscreen.

At £300–£500 more, the T Series 16 is purely a screen upgrade. If iFIT virtual routes, trainer-led classes, and Netflix streaming are central to your workouts, the larger screen makes a noticeable difference to immersion. If you mainly glance at stats while running, save the money and go with the T Series 10.

T Series 16 vs Commercial LE: Screen or Mechanicals?

Both cost around £1,499, but they take completely different approaches. The T Series 16 gives you a 16″ touchscreen with a 3.0 CHP motor, 12% incline (no decline), and a 51 cm wide deck. The Commercial LE gives you a basic 7″ LCD but a 3.6 CHP motor, 3% decline, and a 55 cm wide deck.

If iFIT immersion drives your training, the T Series 16 wins. If you care more about the running experience itself — more power, decline training, and a wider belt — the Commercial LE is the better treadmill under the skin. You can always prop your own tablet on the LE’s device shelf for iFIT content.

Commercial 1750 vs Commercial 2450: Is the 2450 Worth the Extra?

The 1750 is NordicTrack’s best-seller for good reason — 4.25 CHP motor, 16″ pivoting touchscreen, 12% incline with 3% decline, 55 cm wide deck, and it folds. The 2450 adds a 24″ screen, 15% incline (vs 12%), 13.7 mph top speed (vs 12.5 mph), a wider 56 cm deck, and 182 kg max user weight (vs 136 kg).

For most home runners, the 1750 is more than enough. The 2450 justifies its premium if you’re a faster runner who’ll use the extra speed headroom, a heavier user who needs the higher weight capacity, or someone who trains specifically for hilly races where 15% incline matters. The screen jump from 16″ to 24″ is nice but not essential.

X16 vs X24: Which Incline Trainer?

Identical in every way except screen size and price. Same 4.25 CHP motor, same 40% incline to -6% decline, same deck, same weight capacity, same non-folding design. The X16 has a 16″ screen; the X24 has a 24″ screen. The price gap is roughly £500.

If you’re buying an incline trainer, you’re buying it for the incline — not the screen. The X16 is the smarter purchase. Only stretch to the X24 if the larger display genuinely matters to your daily motivation.

NordicTrack Warranty: What You Get (and What You Must Do)

Most NordicTrack models in the UK carry a lifetime frame, 10-year motor, 2-year parts, and 1-year labour warranty. The Commercial 2450 gets a 10-year frame, 2-year parts, and 1-year labour.

Critical: You must register your warranty within 28 days of purchase at ifitsupport.eu. If you miss this deadline, you drop to a basic 12-month cover for parts and labour only. Set a reminder the day your treadmill arrives. This is the single biggest difference between NordicTrack and Reebok’s warranty, which is automatic with no registration required.

UK customer support is handled through ICON Health & Fitness’ European support centre. Response times have improved in recent years but still aren’t as fast as dedicated UK brands like JTX. Phone and email support are available; expect 2–5 working days for email responses.

NordicTrack vs Other Treadmill Brands

NordicTrack dominates the UK home treadmill market through its iFIT ecosystem, consistent build quality, and wide range of price points. Here’s how it compares to key competitors:

    • NordicTrack vs Reebok: NordicTrack leads on screen technology, iFIT integration, and guided workout content. Reebok wins on warranty (automatic, no registration), no-subscription pressure, and freedom to use any app. The Reebok FR30z competes directly with the T Series 9 for serious runners.
    • NordicTrack vs Peloton: Peloton has the better content platform and community. NordicTrack has superior hardware specs (speed, incline, deck size) at comparable prices. Both require subscriptions for the full experience.
    • NordicTrack vs ProForm: Same parent company (iFIT Inc.), same iFIT platform, similar build quality. ProForm generally comes in slightly cheaper with fewer premium features. NordicTrack is the premium sibling; ProForm is the value play.
    • NordicTrack vs JTX: JTX offers excellent UK-based support, compact designs, and no-subscription simplicity. NordicTrack wins on technology and the iFIT ecosystem. JTX wins for buyers who want reliability without smart features.
    • NordicTrack vs Domyos (Decathlon): Domyos excels on convenience (in-store support, zero-assembly options, competitive pricing). NordicTrack offers significantly better motors, larger decks, and the iFIT platform.

Do I Need iFIT?

This is the question every NordicTrack buyer needs to answer honestly before spending money.

iFIT is worth it if you’re motivated by trainer-led classes, you enjoy virtual outdoor routes, you want structured training programmes, or you need external accountability to stay consistent. The automatic speed and incline adjustment during workouts is genuinely transformative — you work harder than you would in manual mode because the trainer pushes the pace.

iFIT isn’t worth it if you prefer to press start and run at your own pace, you don’t want a monthly subscription, or you already have a training plan you follow independently. Every NordicTrack treadmill works in manual mode. You get full speed and incline control and the screen displays your stats — but you’re not using the hardware to its full potential.

Every NordicTrack treadmill includes a 30-day free iFIT trial. Use it properly — five or six sessions a week for a month — before deciding. If it transforms your training, the subscription pays for itself in gym membership savings. If you find yourself running in manual mode most of the time, cancel and save the ongoing cost.

If you know upfront that you don’t want a subscription, the Reebok range offers comparable hardware without the subscription-first design philosophy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which NordicTrack treadmill is best for running?

For serious running, the T Series 9 (mid-range) or Commercial 2450 (premium). The T Series 9 has a 3.6 CHP motor, 12.5 mph speed, 12% incline, and a 152 cm deck. The Commercial 2450 steps up to 4.25 CHP, 13.7 mph, 15% incline with decline, a wider 56 cm deck, and a 24″ screen. The T Series 9 is the better value; the 2450 is the better machine.

What’s the difference between the T Series 5, 6.5S, 7, and 8?

All four share NordicTrack’s SpaceSaver folding, SelectFlex cushioning, and iFIT compatibility. The T Series 5 and 6.5S are entry-level (5″ LCD, 10% incline, 10 mph) — the 6.5S has a larger deck (140 × 51 vs 130 × 46 cm). The T Series 7 adds ActivePulse heart rate training and SmartAdjust. The T Series 8 jumps to a 7″ touchscreen, bigger motor (3.0 CHP), 12% incline, and a 152 cm deck.

Is the T Series 9 worth the extra over the T Series 8?

The T Series 9 adds a larger 10″ tilting touchscreen, a more powerful 3.6 CHP motor, and higher max user weight (147 vs 136 kg). The deck, incline, and speed are identical. If iFIT is central to your training, the bigger screen is a meaningful upgrade. If you mainly run in manual mode, the T Series 8 saves you £200+ for essentially the same running experience.

Do I need iFIT to use a NordicTrack treadmill?

No. Every NordicTrack treadmill works in manual mode without an iFIT subscription. You get full control over speed and incline, and the screen displays your workout stats. However, virtual routes, trainer-led classes, automatic terrain adjustment, SmartAdjust, and ActivePulse all require iFIT.

How does NordicTrack warranty work in the UK?

Most models offer lifetime frame, 10-year motor, 2-year parts, and 1-year labour — but you must register within 28 days of purchase at ifitsupport.eu. Without registration, you get only 12-month basic cover. This is less generous than Reebok’s automatic warranty.

NordicTrack T Series 9 vs Reebok FR30z Floatride?

Both cost ~£999–1,100 and compete directly. The T Series 9 wins on screen (10″ touchscreen vs LED display), iFIT integration, and folding convenience. The FR30z wins on stability (fixed deck vs folding), cushioning (Floatride+ zoned system), warranty (automatic, no registration), and subscription freedom. Choose the NordicTrack for iFIT; choose the Reebok for independent, no-compromise running.

Is the NordicTrack Commercial 2450 worth £2,499?

If you run regularly and want gym-quality performance at home, yes. The motor, deck, incline/decline range, and 24″ screen are all best-in-class. If you’re a casual runner, the T Series 9 delivers 80% of the experience at less than half the price. Read our full Commercial 2450 review for the detailed breakdown.

Where can I buy NordicTrack treadmills in the UK?

Amazon UK, Fitness Superstore, John Lewis, Argos, Costco (T Series 9), and the official NordicTrack website. Prices vary between retailers and fluctuate with sales. We generally recommend Amazon for fast delivery and straightforward returns. Fitness Superstore offers 0% finance options on most models.
