NordicTrack is a leading brand of fitness equipment owned by parent company ICON Health and Fitness. NordicTrack was founded in 1975 by Edward and Florence Pauls, when they invented the first NordicTrack ski machine. Having been told by a cardiologist that the NordicTrack was the best cardio workout machine he’d seen, the Pauls opened for business to Minnesota. In 1998, ICON acquired NordicTrack and added treadmills to the NordicTrack brand. Today, NordicTrack is the world’s best selling home treadmill brand. Over the years, they have added exercise bikes and elliptical trainers to their product line, and pioneered the development of incline trainers beginning in 2009.
US-based ICON Health and Fitness holds over 250 patents and includes brands like Weider, ProForm, Gold’s Gym, and iFit. Products include weight machines, yoga mats, and fitness wearables and more.

The Pro’s About NordicTrack/Our Top Three Favorite NordicTrack Features
Powerful motors – NordicTrack treadmill motors are more powerful than other brands in the same price range. Most are 3.0 CHP (continuous horse power) or higher.
Fun features – Consoles are designed to make your workouts more effective – and fun! Web browsers, iFit, tablet holders, and super-bright displays help keep you motivated and entertained.

Overall, It’s a Yes.
The above are just highlights of what we like about NordicTrack. Quality and functionality abound in their treadmills. Size and storage may be the only problem for some, with some models nearly 7 feet long. However, folding models are also available. You also might also consider getting help with the limited assembly required.
