Our verdict
NordicTrack suits buyers who want one brand for treadmills, bikes, rowers and strength kit, and who value a lifetime warranty more than a low monthly fee. Budget $1,599.99 up front and accept a membership of $39 a month for the connected classes.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Lifetime warranty ranks 1 of 44 brands, the strongest position in the package
- Range covers treadmill, exercise bike and rower, so cardio, rowing and strength all come from the same brand
- Treadmills take a maximum user weight of 182 kg and are sold as foldable for smaller rooms
- A 30 days money back window under the terms softens the commitment on $1,599.99 hardware
- Selling in the United States, CA and MX means buyers outside the US can order direct
Cons
- The required membership adds $39 a month on top of hardware priced from $1,599.99
- Monthly fee ranks 54 of 59, so the cost of the connected side is only mid field
- Entry price ranks 56 of 71 brands, putting the cheapest NordicTrack machine toward the dearer end of the field
- Range covers treadmill, exercise bike and rower but stops short of the recovery kit Academy carries
Who it suits
- Households that want a single brand covering treadmills, bikes, rowers and strength, since the range runs to treadmill, exercise bike and rower
- Buyers who keep machines for years and read the lifetime warranty as the main reason to pay more up front
- People in the United States, CA and MX who want a 24 in class screen and a $1,599.99 starting price
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers on a tight budget who want hardware with no recurring fee, where a treadmill-first brand with a lower $1,599.99 fits better
- Shoppers whose training is only strength based, since Academy carries treadmill, exercise bike and rower and covers more of the strength and recovery floor
- People who want the shortest possible commitment, where a smaller machine with a 30 days window and a lower $1,599.99 is the better test
Prices
Hardware is priced from $1,599.99, and that figure covers the machine only. On top of it sits the iFIT membership at $39 a month, which is required to use the connected training side of the equipment. Add the two together and the first year of ownership carries both a large up front payment and a running monthly charge. The cost case therefore rests on how long the machine stays in your home rather than on the ticket price alone.
How it compares on our data
Our data puts NordicTrack in mixed positions. Entry price of $1,599.99 ranks 56 of 71 brands, so it is not a cheap way into connected cardio. The membership of $39 a month ranks 54 of 59, which puts the recurring cost in the middle of the field. Warranty length is the outlier: lifetime cover ranks 1 of 44. The pattern is a brand that charges for the machine and asks less of you month to month in return for staying with it for years.
Core features
Membership is required, so the iFIT platform and its class library are part of the package rather than an optional extra. Treadmills carry a lifetime warranty and are built for a maximum user weight of 182 kg, and the range is sold as foldable, which matters in rooms that double as living space. The flagship treadmill screen measures 24 in across and serves as the main control and class display. The brand also offers a 30 days money back window under its terms. The catalogue spans treadmill, exercise bike and rower, so the same membership and platform cover bikes, rowers and strength kit as well.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a NordicTrack machine cost to start with?+
NordicTrack machines start at $1,599.99 for the hardware itself, which is the figure most buyers compare first. On our data that entry price ranks 56 of 71 brands, so the cheapest model is not a budget option. Connected features on these machines sit behind an iFIT membership priced at $39 a month.
Is a membership needed to use a NordicTrack machine?+
A membership is required, and it lists at $39 a month. The same charge applies to bikes, rowers and strength machines, so the recurring cost is part of any budget from the start. If you stop training, the fee keeps running on hardware you already own.
What warranty comes with NordicTrack equipment?+
The frame warranty on NordicTrack machines is listed as lifetime, and that figure ranks 1 of 44 brands we track on warranty length. Coverage length is the strongest point in the package, which matters most for treadmills and strength frames built to stay in a room for years.
Which countries can I buy NordicTrack equipment in?+
NordicTrack sells in the United States, CA and MX, so a buyer in any of those markets can order from the brand directly. Machine size follows the same pattern: treadmills take a maximum user weight of 182 kg, and the range is sold as foldable for tighter rooms.
What kinds of machines does NordicTrack make?+
The catalogue covers treadmill, exercise bike and rower, so one brand can cover cardio, rowing and strength without a second supplier. Academy spans a similar set and adds massage gun and recovery items, while DeerRun lists a shorter range that stops at treadmills, bikes, rowers, strength and home gyms.
What do the screens and support look like on NordicTrack machines?+
The flagship treadmill in the range carries a 24 in display, which is where most iFIT classes and controls sit. Support runs on email, chat and phone, so questions about a machine, a class or a delivery can be raised by email, chat, phone or the help centre.
Can I return a NordicTrack machine if it does not suit my space?+
A 30 days money back window applies under the brand terms, which gives room to try a machine in real rooms. Read the terms for what counts as unused, since bulky cardio equipment is awkward to return once it is assembled and moved into place.
Who runs NordicTrack and its training platform?+
The brand is operated by iFIT Inc., which is the company behind the iFIT platform the machines pair with. That matters if you change brand later, because the training platform, the class library and the ongoing fee all sit with the same ecosystem rather than with a single machine.
