NordicTrack 2950 with 22-Inch Screen

1. NordicTrack Commercial 2950 with 22" Screen

Editor’s Choice

NordicTrack Commercial 2950 with 22-Inch Screen Review

Topping our list is an excellent treadmill from the renowned company NordicTrack.

There’s a lot to love about the 2950 treadmill. It literally does everything perfect but for starters, it’s extremely reliable - it's built like a tank. You also get a 1-year iFit Coach subscription for free. In other words, you’ll get a plethora of coach-led training materials that can be streamed to the excellent 22-inch HD touchscreen that comes on this treadmill.

Durable Motor

The NordicTrack Commercial 2950 comes equipped with a 4.25 CHP motor which makes it perfect for even the fastest and heaviest of runners.

22-Inch HD Touchscreen with iFit Coach

Besides being able to watch your favorite shows when running, the 22-inch touchscreen will allow you to attend the best classes through iFit Coach. Those classes will sync with your treadmill so you won’t need to adjust the speed or incline angle manually every time. Talk about convenience.

The perks of the touchscreen don’t end there, though, as you’ll also get access to countless on-demand studio classes so you can work out according to your schedule. And if that doesn’t motivate you to hop on the treadmill, remember that you can also run the streets of Paris every morning.

Adjustability

Get this treadmill, and you’ll be able to spice up your workouts and make them more challenging thanks to the negative 3% decline and 15% incline. If you’re looking to perform HIIT workouts, that’s a must-have feature in your home treadmill.

Also another great thing you can adjust is the cushioning, you can adjust it to give you the feeling of a real road or soften it to making it easier on your lower joints.

Foldable Design

One of the best things about this treadmill is the fact that it is surprisingly compact and portable for how big it looks.

This treadmill has an extremely useful foldable compact design that allows you to be able to fold it up, move it around, and store it just about anywhere you want with ease.

It's extremely easy to fold up as well because of the assisting bar it has on the bottom that helps you fold the treadmill from the bottom up. Look at the picture above.

2. NordicTrack T 9.5 S Treadmill with 14-Inch Touchscreen

Cheaper But Slightly Smaller Screen

NordicTrack T 9.5 S Treadmill with 14-Inch Touchscreen Review 

The NordicTrack T 9.5 S treadmill is the perfect choice for someone who’s looking for a machine that is in many ways better than your average home gym treadmill but also fairly priced.

If you decide to buy one, it’ll set you back around 2 big ones, and while that might seem like a large sum of money, you’ll soon come to realize that many of this treadmill’s features are on par with machines that cost well over double this price.

Powerful Motor

The NordicTrack T 9.5 S boasts a powerful, 3.5 HP motor capable of reaching speeds of up to 12 MPH, which is more than enough even for the most intense workouts.

Practical Features

As I’ve just mentioned, the NordicTrack T 9.5 S comes with numerous features that you usually only find on more expensive professional treadmills, including its screen, of course, these features include:

• One-year free IFit membership (valued at $468).
• 3.6 continuous horsepower motor capable of delivering speeds of up to 12 mph.
• Self-cooling mechanisms to prevent the treadmill from overheating.
• 14” interactive HD touchscreen to help you keep up with all your workouts.
• FlexSelect™ cushioning, which keeps your joints protected while also giving you the option to choose how it feels to run on your treadmill (can mimic the feeling of a real road, for example).
• One-touch control to help you quickly adjust any aspect of your workout programming without losing momentum.
• 12% incline.

Plenty of Workout Programs

We also cannot talk about having a treadmill at home without focusing on its main feature, the workout programs that it offers. In the case, NordicTrack has included 50 onboard programs on their T 9.5 S model.

So, even if you don’t renew your iFit membership, which includes thousands of workout programs, you’ll still be left with plenty of options to choose from. This makes the treadmill the perfect choice for anyone who gets bored fast or is simply looking to diversify their training habits.

So, if you’re not a larger individual and aren’t exactly looking for a treadmill that’s capable of maintaining highly demanding exercises, then the NordicTrack T 9.5 S is the right one for you.

However, if you feel like it’s a bit of an overkill for your needs, you can always take it down a notch and get the T 8.5 S model instead.

3. NordicTrack T 8.5 S with 10-Inch Screen

Best Bang for Your Buck Option

NordicTrack T 8.5 S with 10-Inch Screen Review

NordicTrack’s T Series treadmills consist of four models: T 6.5 S, T 7.5 S, T 8.5 S, and T 9.5 S. While the T 8.5 S is slightly more than its sibling T 7.5 S, it’s way cheaper than the T 9.5 S.

However, don’t let such sibling rivalry get you into thinking that the T 8.5S treadmill isn’t worth your attention.

On the contrary, the treadmill comes packed with features out of the box, most of which can be found in its bigger sister, the T 9.5 S.

Specs and Features

Just like its bigger sister, the T 9.5 S, this unit comes with a plethora of features, including:

• One-year free IFit membership (valued at $468).
• 10” Smart HD touch screen, similar to those found in more expensive models in both screen quality and services quantity.
• Continuous-duty horsepower motor, able to handle anything you decide to pull off.
• FlexSelect™ cushioning, which helps protect your joints while also simulating how running outside feels (roads, dirt routes, etc.).
• SpaceSaver Design: foldable frame for easy storage when not in use.
• One-touch controls so you can easily adjust things such as incline and speed without having to interrupt your workout sessions.
• Bluetooth connectivity so you can play your favorite music through the speakers found on the treadmill.

Decent Workout Programs

Just like its bigger sister, the T 9.5 S, the T 8. 5S comes with a one-year free iFit subscription, which has a huge library of various workout programs. And if you decide not to renew the said subscription, you’ll be greeted with 50 different built-in, free of charge, workout programs.

The inclusion of such programs means that you’ll rarely find yourself in need of hiring any outside help, which is a great thing to have. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not undermining the ability of personal trainers; it’s just that some people prefer to train on their own, for personal or financial reasons.

All in all, if you’re looking for a treadmill that will handle most people’s workouts just fine and offers you plenty of various workout programs, then this is a great choice.

When you compare pure numbers on paper, the only real difference between the T 8.5 S and its bigger sibling the T 9.5 S is the fact that the latter has a bigger screen, that’s all.

So, if you liked the T 9.5 S but would rather spend around $500 less on a treadmill, then you already know where your money should go.

4. NordicTrack Commercial 1750 with 10" Touchscreen

NordicTrack Commercial 1750 with 10-Inch Touchscreen Review

Year after year, the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 secures a place in almost everyone’s top list of treadmills for good reasons. From its feature-packed treadmill screen interface to its motor, the Commercial 1750 is one of the best treadmills that you can get your hands on in 2021 and beyond.

Sturdy Construction

The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is on the slightly bigger side of the spectrum, measuring 78.8 x 39.2 x 63 inches and weighing 309 pounds. Which actually is not all that much considering this treadmill is designed for home use but is of commercial build quality.

Notable Specs and Features

The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 comes packed with features out of the box, including:

• High quality, two-ply, scratch-resistant tread belt.
• One-year free IFit membership (valued at $468).
• 3.75 CHP motor capable of providing speeds of up to 12 MPH while also staying very quiet.
• 10” HD touchscreen allowing you to flip between workout programs and check your numbers (calories burnt, mileage, etc.).
• Heart rate touch sensors.
• Incline and Decline abilities: 3% decline – 15% incline.
• Built-in tablet holder.
• Bluetooth compatible and equipped with a set of 3” speakers enabling you to play your favorite tunes whenever you feel like it.
• AutoBreeze™ workout fans to help keep the machine cool even during long workouts.
• Runners Flex™ Cushioning to help ease the pressure on your joints.
•  EasyLift Assist™ technology, which will help you save floor space once you’re done working out through the magic of hydraulics.

Many Workout Options

The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 comes with unlimited iFit Coach programs available to download but for a limited time, a year to be exact.

Similar to the T series of NordicTrack treadmills, the commercial 1750 also comes with 50 built-in programs that were designed by certified trainers. These 50 programs come in four categories that you can choose from: interval training, calorie burn, speed training, and heart rate control.

Back to the iFit Coach workouts, one great feature they have that I personally love is the ability to let you experience a tour of numerous places around the world while training.

You can experience routes in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and even Antarctica through the 10-inch HD touchscreen!

Moreover, iFit’s workout programs come sorted by difficulty level, making it easy for you to find the right exercise in no time.

Affordable Yet Excellent Option for Home Use

Overall, while the 1750 is the cheapest option out in NordicTrack’s Commercial arsenal, and it does the job better than just about every other brand out there. I consider it to be one of 2021’s best buys for the endless features that it comes packed with out of the box.

And in case you didn’t know already, the model we’re reviewing is an updated one, but the only thing that really changed was the addition of Bluetooth audio, amongst other minor tweaks. That alone goes to show you how good of a package this treadmill has been since its release back in 2017.

5. ProForm SMART Pro 2000 Treadmill with 7-Inch Touchscreen

ProForm SMART Pro 2000 Treadmill with 7-Inch Touchscreen Review

Similar to the NordicTrack Commercial 1750, the ProForm SMART Pro 2000 has been a customer favorite for years but was updated, nevertheless. The original was great, and the 2020 model adds a few new and improved things to add up to that greatness.

Small Yet Practical Screen

The Proform SMART Pro 2000 features a 7-inch Smart HD Touchscreen, which gives you access to your built-in workout programs, iFit Coach content, stats (mileage, speed, calories burned), and more. It’s perfectly sized so you could follow on everything without getting distracted much.

Full of Interesting Features

Just like the other treadmills reviewed above, this unit packs a helluva lot of features, including:

• iFit Coach with a one-year free membership included out of the box.
• Heart rate monitoring through touch sensors that are located on the bars.
• An integrated fan system to keep your experience cool when necessary.
• SpaceSaver design that allows you to fold your treadmill and move it someplace else quickly and easily.
• 3.5 continuous horsepower Mach Z motor capable of delivering speeds of up to 12 MPH.
• Tablet holder.
• Dual 3” speakers that you can play your favorite tunes on using the auxiliary audio port.
• Incline/Decline: ranges from 3% to -15%.

A Plethora of Workout Programs

As I’ve mentioned above, the ProForm SMART Pro 2000 is iFit Coach enabled, including a one-year free subscription to the service. It offers you hundreds upon hundreds of different on-demand workouts, all of which are designed and led by certified trainers.

This is where the machine’s amazing incline/decline range comes into play, as it’ll change automatically depending on the trainer’s settings.

The iFit app also features the ability to run literally anywhere Google Maps can tell you, which makes the overall experience of working out more immersive than it already is.

These different programs are usually organized by difficulty levels, allowing you to progressively go through them. If you decide not to renew your membership once the free trial ends, I’m happy to tell you that the Pro SMART 2000 comes with 50 great built-in programs that’ll cover anything and everything.

Although the ProForm SMART Pro 2000 is technically the entry-level machine into the top tier series of ProForm treadmills, it still managed to build an amazing reputation through the customer reviews and forums since its original release and the new upgrades just improved on that.

I recommend it for anyone who considers themselves to be a beginner or intermediate runner.

1. BowFlex T10 Treadmill with 10-Inch Interactive Screen

BowFlex T10 Treadmill with 10-Inch Screen Review

We didn’t add the BowFlex T10 on this list just for the sake of it, this machine earned its place here, all thanks to the solid build, which is sure to serve you for years without any give or break. The reviews pretty much say it all, this is a machine built for durability.

Decent Screen

With its 10-inch wide color display screen, you can bet on this tread for undisrupted workout with easy viewing of your stats and performance. You could even watch Netflix and Disney+ among other streaming services as long as you have the subscription.

Impressive Functionalities

The T10 might not be one of the most popular treads on the market, but when you dig deeper and actually see the awesome functionalities it has to offer, you will start seeing it in a different light.

To be honest, I particularly love the -5% to 15% motorized decline and incline, which brings out a touch of diversity, you can actually feel like going down the slopes or scaling the hills. But the experience isn’t just all you get with this decline/incline function; your calves will love it too.

It also comes with a 1-year JRNY valued at $149. The cool thing about this one is that you get to create custom workouts and set your sessions to suit your capabilities. This is where the inbuilt screen plays a big role, as you get to control everything from there.

With the Comfort Touch deck cushioning and the spacious 22” by 60” track, you can step on the gas and fly away at the 12 miles per hour speeds without any worries over injury or inconveniences.

The included Bluetooth wireless armband as well as its robust Bluetooth speakers adds to the experience with a cool touch of monitoring and audio fun when working out.

 Short on space? No problem! This treadmill also boasts a SoftDrop folding technology that allows you to lower the deck safely from a raised position and save on space when storing your machine.

Exploration, Training, Coaching; What the JRNY is all About 

Besides streaming entertainment on Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Netflix on the HD touchscreen, which is also adjustable by the way, you also get to enhance your workout.

I’m talking about the different destination that you can choose to explore right from the comfort of your home. There are over 40 of these from around the globe where you get to set the terrain that you want to take on. This also allows you to keep your workout more entertaining and less boring.

While the exploration part keeps things fun, the training part keeps getting harder as your fitness level advances. This is all thanks to the adaptive workouts that adjust as you become more fit.

2. Sole F63 Treadmill with 6.5-inch LCD screen

Sole F63 Treadmill with 6.5-inch LCD Screen Review

The Sole F63 is one the best treadmills under 1000 that you can get your hands on in the market today. Period.

It was recently enhanced upon, with the addition of a few new features and the improvement of key old ones. This treadmill is one impressive piece of machinery given its price tag. 

A Feature-Rich, Solid Treadmill

Before getting into the usual listing of prominent features, I’d like to mention that the first and most important “feature” of this treadmill is the quality of its parts.

Sole Fitness has a reputation for having the best parts in the industry of home treadmills. They usually focus on engineering the highest quality, most functional treadmill first, then include the extra features later.

While that is also the case for the F63, don’t let that lead you into thinking that this treadmill doesn’t pack a number of great “extra” features, including:

• 6.5” LCD Treadmill screen provides you with all the important bits of information about your workout.
• 3.0 continuous horsepower motor that will deliver speeds of up to 12 MPH and stay quiet and cool whether you walk, jog, or run.
• Bluetooth audio speakers.
• Two water bottle holders and an accessory tray.
• Shelf for a tablet computer that can easily be turned into a secondary program monitor through the Sole Fitness app.
• The Sole Fitness app can sync with any of your preferred fitness apps and share your important workout data.
• Up to 15% incline, which can be changed manually or automatically set depending on the exercise’s settings.
• Sole Fitness’s patented CushionFlex deck can reduce the impact on your joints by more than 40% in comparison to working out outdoors.
• Foldable frame with the help of a hydraulic shock-resistant soft drop system.

Workout Programs

All treadmills from Sole, the F63 included, come with ten built-in programs. These programs are organized as follows:

• Six preset programs that control the treadmill’s speed and incline to focus on numerous goals such as cardio endurance, muscle toning, etc.
• Two programs that utilize your heart rate data to determine the treadmill’s overall challenge level.
• Two programs dedicated to you, the user, fully customizable depending on your personal needs.

The best thing about the Sole F63 is its simplicity, which makes it the ideal choice for most, if not all, users. In other words, this incline treadmill is perfect for people who are new to the concept of working out at home, but it’ll also serve experienced athletes just fine. And the price tag just makes it a whole lot better.

3. ProForm SMART Performance 600i Treadmill with 10-Inch HD Touchscreen

ProForm SMART Performance 600i Treadmill with 10-Inch HD Touchscreen Review

The ProForm SMART Performance 600i is a budget-friendly treadmill with a screen that is packed with features that you usually only find on high-end treadmills. This is all part of ProForm’s plan to attract as many potential clients as possible, given how much the market for budget-friendly treadmills has grown lately.

However, I’m sad to say that they had to cut some corners in order to deliver such a feature-packed machine at this price tag. 

Feature-Packed to the Teeth

As I mentioned above, this unit comes with plenty of features, including:

• 10” HD touchscreen, which displays all the important information to you.
• Easy folding frame, through the use of the ever-popular SpaceSaver design.
• 2.75 horsepower motor capable of delivering speeds of up to 10 MPH.
• ProShox™ cushioning system to help protect your joints while working out (usually found in high-end ProForm treadmills).
• 1-year free subscription to iFit.
• Two decently sized storage pockets.
• Stereo speakers with an AUX port.
• Built-in fan for a cool experience.

Workout Programs Through an Impressive Screen

First off, this unit, like most similar treadmills from the brand, comes with a 1-year free iFit membership, in other words, you’ll have access to a huge library of workout videos, designed and led by the best trainers out there.

The 2015 model of the 600i didn’t come with the screen, forcing you to use your tablet to run iFit. Thankfully, the updated 2020 600i’s new and somewhat large HD touchscreen is great for viewing the thousands of on-demand workouts that iFit offers.

Additionally, iFit comes with features such as “mixed reality” courses, which will have you running through paths in different corners of the globe in the comfort of your home.

If you decide not to renew your iFit subscription the day it ends, I’m happy to say that the 600i comes with 50 different preset workout programs. So, it’s safe to say that you won’t run out of options for a long time, and even if you do, there is always room for customization.

It is fair to say that the ProForm SMART Performance 600i wasn’t designed as a budget choice for experienced runners, but rather for amateur ones. Given its price, I recommend it as a first step for someone who’s interested in getting into running.

4. NordicTrack T 6.5 S Treadmill with 5-Inch Screen 

NordicTrack T 6.5 S Treadmill with 5-Inch Screen Review 

Yet another product from the well-known NordicTrack, the 6.5 S features everything you’d ever need in the best treadmill with screen and more, without being expensive.

Simple, Modern Design

Although the NordicTrack 6.5 S doesn’t really stand out in terms of the design, the treadmill does have a modern look to it – the kind that you’d proudly display in any room in your house.

There’s more to this machine than meets the eye, though. After all, it’s not only beautiful but also sturdy. No matter whether you prefer running or walking, this treadmill will remain steady all the time.

A Display with All the Basics

The 6.5 S from NordicTrack sports a 5-inch backlit display that shows all the necessary info related to your workout session, including the time, speed, incline, and calories burned.

Moreover, the screen displays a simulation of track that allows you to keep an eye on the distance you’re running or walking when you’re using the treadmill.

Now, compared to other products on this list, the display may not seem that impressive, because it isn’t. But remember it's cheap.

The screen doesn’t have all the bells and whistles found on other treadmills, but it still shows what’s necessary for your current workout session. Remember, this is an inexpensive treadmill, so you get what you pay for.

Solid Performance

The unit packs a powerful, 2.6HP motor that allows it to reach up to 10 MPH in speed, and it can reach up to 10 degrees in incline. For a treadmill at this price, those are some impressive numbers.

Again, even if you decide to go at full speed while running on this treadmill, the frame will remain steady with no shaking or wobbling whatsoever.

Furthermore, the machine is practically noiseless, so you needn’t worry about waking up your neighbors when you’re working out.
