One of the few manufacturers of incline trainers, the NordicTrack incline trainer line is what other treadmill brands should look to if they want to create an incline trainer. These machines are powerful treadmills with huge incline ability, which sets them apart from other incline trainers currently on the market.
The incline trainers have several features that are common in this line.
- Dual autobreeze fans
- Crisp speakers
- Device and water holders
- Console controls
- EKG console handlebars
- Wireless heart rate monitoring chest strap
- 300 lbs capacity
- 44 built-in workout programs
- Reflex™ cushioning
- Max speed of 12 MPH
- Incline range of -6% to 40%
- Treadmill belt area 22” by 60”
Something to consider when you are thinking of purchasing an incline trainer is that these are not small machines. They take up quite a bit of space and do not fold up. NordicTrack incline trainers are pretty heavy and take at least 2 people to move safely. So be sure you have dedicated space in your home if you choose to purchase a NordicTrack incline trainer.

NordicTrack Has Much To Offer
NordicTrack has been creating quality cardio equipment for decades and their current lines are no exceptions. There are other incline trainers out there but they lack the features NordicTrack has available. They don’t have the same large incline range and many others are incline-focused with no ability to work as a regular treadmill.
If you want to check out other quality offerings by NordicTrack, be sure to read up on the NordicTrack C Series and the NordicTrack Commercial line.
