Nordic Track is owned and manufactured by ICON Health and Fitness, one of the largest producers of treadmills in the world. They also own brands like Epic, Image, Healthrider, Proform and Reebok.
Nordic Track is ICON's higher end brand and their treadmills offer several unique features that other ICON brands do not.
Several of this year's new models also come with something called iFit Live. This is similar to iFit but with the upgraded iFit Live you can connect to the Internet (if you have wireless Internet in your home.)
From there you can download new workouts (including workouts from 'The Biggest Loser's Jillian Michaels where she coaches you through your workout). You can also use Google Terrain to actually run through different trails all over the world which is very cool.
You can track your workout stats to see your progress and even race against your Facebook friends.
Nordic Track also produces incline trainer treadmills that are popular - with up to 40% incline and even decline. Incline trainers are similar to treadmills but with the higher inclines you can burn up to 5X more calories than walking on a flat plane.
Another line of Nordic Track treadmills come with the specialized Reflex Deck Cushioning. Reflex Deck cushioning reduces impact by nearly 42% compared to running outside.
It actually returns energy to your stride and adds an extra layer of protection for your joints - great for runners or power walkers who are prone to shin splints and other injuries.
These treadmills range in price from around $799 up to $2499. So they're affordable but they also offer several luxury commercial grade treadmills for those who want to go all out on their home gym.
And, unlike several other brands that only drop prices at certain times of the year, you can almost always find at least one Nordic Track treadmill at a great discount.
Obviously, if you're looking at a NordicTrack, the higher end treadmills give you more in terms of stability, strong decks, motor powers and advanced consoles.
However, if you're on a budget and you find a great deal, you'll probably be very happy with a NordicTrack.
