The C 1070 has an affordable price point and comes with features which are nearly identical to the C990, except that the C 1070 has a little less incline range, slightly smaller treadmill belt width, stronger commercial motor, different console layout, and more compact design overall.As it is so similar to the C990, both in features and in operations, here at Treadmill Reviews, we have found that the C 1070 is also a great, affordable treadmill option for walkers and joggers.

Strong, commercial motor - One of the two C series treadmills with a commercial motor, the C 1070 is able to run smoothly while delivering consistent power to your workouts.

Specs “Quick Review”:
Motor Size: 3.0 CHP
Running Area: 18” W x 60” L
Weight Capacity: 300 lbs
Folding: Yes
Footprint In Use (W, L, H): 33.5” x 75.8” x 56.4”

Electrical Requirements: 120V
Motor Size - One of the best, unseen feature on the C 1070 is the 3.0 CHP DurX™ Commercial Plus motor. With a more powerful motor, the C 1070 can hold up under multiple users working out daily and may be good for a limited amount of running, though we normally recommend runners look at treadmills around the $1,500 price point, as they are built to take more of a pounding. Running Area - Surprisingly, the C 1070 has a slightly smaller treadmill belt than is normally expected from NordicTrack, measuring 18 inches wide and 60 inches long. The length can accommodate users with longer strides, and most of our testers did not notice the 2” difference between the C 1070 belt and the C990. Weight Capacity - Users who weigh up to 300 lbs can safely use the C 1070. While some customers have claimed that they weigh over 300 lbs and use the C 1070, we do not recommend this practice, as it can lead to treadmill damage and potential injury. If you need a higher weight accommodation, the SOLE treadmills are some of the sturdiest residential treadmills available. Folding - Able to fold up easily, the C 1070 comes with a hydraulic system which allows you to fold and secure your treadmill deck by just raising it high enough. To release the deck, all you need to do is to press the lever with your foot, and the deck will descend hands-free to lightly touch down on your floor. Space / Footprint - A little more compact than the C990, the C 1070 measures 33.5” wide, 75.8” long, and 56.4” tall. Max Speed - You can reach the max speed of 12 MPH, either by choosing whole speed integers or going by increments of 0.1. Incline - There is a little less incline range on the C 1070 than the C990 had, with the C 1070 coming with 0% to 10% incline range. However, that is still enough incline range to ramp up your calorie burn.

Also included with your purchase of the C 1070, you will receive a free 30 day membership to iFit. With iFit, you can follow along with world-class personal trainers as they lead you through visually stunning workouts. The trainers can control the settings on your treadmill, helping you push yourself further, though you can adjust the speed and incline at any time. Display - There is a 7-inch touchscreen display on the C 1070, which is high-definition and responsive to your touch. With the touchscreen, you can also access far more workout data, from the standard calorie burn, current heart rate, incline and speed, and more, to information on your elevation loss and gain, heart rate peaks and lows, and more in-depth information to help you train. Speakers - The dual, 2-inch speakers on the C 1070 can output good sound clarity at high volume levels. While the sound quality deteriorates a bit at the highest levels, the speakers are a good option if you want to run headphones-free. Fans - With the AutoBreeze workout fan, you can choose from multiple fan speeds or allow the treadmill fan adjust with your workout intensity. Heart Rate Monitoring - On the C 1070, there are EKG handlebar pulse grips for heart rate monitoring. These pulse grips will only give you a rough estimate of your heart rate, so it is best not to rely on them exclusively if you are heart rate zone training.

One of the key build features on the C 1070 is the FlexSelect cushioning. This style of cushioning allows you to change the level of cushioning on the C 1070 to your preferences. There is also a sturdy, while slim, steel frame which comes with the C 1070, with a crossbar to stabilize the treadmill no matter how tough your workout. The arms are a little short, so if you tend to lean on the treadmill arms, you may need to be careful on this treadmill.

If you decide you need to return your treadmill, you will need to contact NordicTrack for a return authorization number, box up your machine, and take it out to the curb for pickup.
