NordicTrack T Series

I only write reviews when the product is very good or very bad. I researched treadmills thorougly before finally deciding on the NordicTrack T6.5. I ran in inclement weather for several years on an older treadmill from a different company until it finally died, then I went several years without. Although my requirements are not exactly the same anymore, I can say that this treadmill feels and functions very well and at least as good as my previous unit at substantially less cost. It is very well built, has good speed and incline, and the user interface is very nice. I don't use the IFit subscription and run it manually and it's great. It interfaces with my Polar chest monitor perfectly. The fold up option is nice to have and works well (I don't use it much). It is moveable if you have it on a hard floor, not so much on carpet. I would buy it again or recommend it to family or friends

This treadmill has a nice smooth track that is nice and long so I don't feel like I'm going to fall off the back. I enjoy both walking and running on it and it feels sturdy while using it. The incline on it is great. Assembly took a little bit, but was easy enough with the instructions provided. I love the fold up feature when not in use to save a little space. Would recommend!

When my Nordic Track commercial 1750 engine broke after more than 1,000 miles, I knew it was time to replace the machine, however I didn’t want to spend $2000 again on a treadmill since I have been mixing in more biking and rowing. I found the T6.5 and immediately jumped into every review I could find from trusted sources.I ended up buying one from Amazon warehouse (usually for returned items), which was only $650 and figured out the only reason it was returned was because it was missing the cup holders, which NordicTrack replaced immediately. Setup was easy, similar to the 1750 it rolls easily and goes anywhere you wanna move it.Performance: this is not a flashy treadmill, but I wanted something more simple, no IFIT subscription required and something that had incline (10) and speed (12), and this treadmill has not disappointed. I have been able to do a handful of 5ks on this machine with no issues, has a great spot for a tablet and doesn’t take up to much space in our gym.If you want a simple, sturdy and reasonably priced treadmill this one is a good find and can accomplish your exercise and fitness goals pretty easily.

I've been looking for a treadmill for quite awhile, and while I would have loved to buy one from Peloton, I didn't want to wait around until May, and I also didn't want to spend a fortune. Believe me, I thought that purchasing a treadmill under $1000 was a risky proposition, but ultimately, I am very happy with T6.5S from NordicTrack.Let me start by saying I was skeptical about the price of $697 from Amazon. Why was it marked down so much? I think I discovered this when the treadmill was delivered to my home. Be aware that this treadmill comes in a very large box and weighs 200 pounds. I paid the extra $20 for it to be delivered to the room of my choice; which was down a flight of stairs that has some pretty tight corners. I live alone, so this was absolutely the best option. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to open the box (which had some pretty severe gouges/rips in it, by the way) until that evening. Had I been able to open it with the delivery crew present, I would have sent it back immediately. The side rail (made of mostly plastic) had ripped from the MDF underlayment (surface just under the tread), and had shattered in multiple places. I discovered this after removing several of the parts and packaging.Well, I went right to my computer and contacted Amazon chat support to inform them of the issue. They were great, actually, and immediately scheduled the delivery of a replacement treadmill. I boxed the damaged treadmill back up, though the email from Amazon that I received a moment later told me that was unnecessary as the Amazon staff that were to pick up the damaged treadmill would bring packing materials.So, a week later the delivery men for the new treadmill showed up. They immediately told me they wouldn't deliver the treadmill down to my basement, but after I told them that I paid for that service and argued a bit, they agreed to. I have to warn you, the design of the packaging of this treadmill is pretty poor. If it is rested on a corner of the box, or even the side with any force, it will likely get damaged. It might be a good idea to warn the delivery guys about this before they transport it to the room of your choice. I also now wonder if Amazon tried to pawn off the damaged one to me initially, knowing full well it was damaged. I guess I'll never know.In any case, the new treadmill made it to my basement unharmed. After unpackaging all of the parts (carefully placing the foam inserts aside in case I had to repackage it), I was confident that nothing had been damaged in transport. I then read the entire assembly manual, which I highly recommend doing, so that you know what is coming. After getting the necessary tools (Screwdriver, adjustable wrench, and a socket set if you have one), I assembled the treadmill in about an hour and a half. I was able to do it myself, but it would certainly be easier with two people; particularly the point where you have to hold the treadmill up at an angle while you assemble the piston that allows you to lift it up and down for storage if you want to (I just leave mine down).Once the entire treadmill was assembled, I plugged into the wall with a power strip (also, recommended) and turned it on. Yes, I'm sure you've read all of the other emails about the requirement to sign up for iFit. Well true, the iFit icon does show up on the screen, and there is a bunch of documentation in the packaging about it, but as everyone else has mentioned, you just hold down the iFit logo button on the keypad for about 15-20 seconds and the warning will go away. Note: you need to have the safety/Stop magnet applied to the grab bar, or this process won't work. Also, I've notice that you only need to do this the very first time you power the treadmill on; on every subsequent power-up, it goes straight to the regular dashboard.As far as the functionality of the treadmill goes, it's actually pretty great, and just what I need. It's quite simple with settings for incline and speed (both up to 10) and I like that I can just touch '5' for 5 mph if I want to, instead of using the up or down arrows. There are some other features for different workouts that I haven't used yet, but I'm sure I will get to them. I've also discovered that it is very important to have the treadmill on a very flat surface. Otherwise, the tread will shift to one side. Even with the slightest incline in my floor, I noticed this a little bit. Once I figured out the best placement though, it was fine. Also, I noticed that the surface under the tread was virtually free of oil (probably from laying around in the Amazon warehouse for some time), so I purchased some silicone-based treadmill oil that you apply every 50 miles or so, and it works great! The display also comes with speakers installed, which guess you can plug your iPhone or iPod into with an auxiliary cord. Not sure I'll ever do that, as I just have headphones. Also, the sensitivity of the pulse meter on the grab bar has been hit or miss. Oh well, can't have everything.So, was the process a bit of a pain? Well, yes, but overall, not too bad, and well worth it for the price. I'm totally satisfied with this treadmill and it does everything I need it to do.

This treadmill has been a game changer for us. Assembly was easy enough for one person to put together alone, but much easier with 2 people. Instructions for assembly were simple and clear. Once assembled, the unit just plugs in and powers right up. There are so many different programs you can use to keep your workouts varied. We love the smoothness of the treadmill while walking or running on it. It is sturdy enough for fast running and doesn't make a lot of noise while using it. The walking pad area is wide enough that you're not stepping on the side mounts as I've experienced with other treadmills. Moving the treadmill pad on an incline and is quick and seamless. You hardly even notice it. This has been the best investment yet for our home gym. The treadmill can be folded up for easy storage if needed, however, we just keep ours in the typical position since it's in our home gym. What are you waiting for? Get yours today!
