Find Your Ideal Treadmill

I just recently traveled to New York City in September for the launch of the new 2025 lineup, and what I saw there assures me that NordicTrack is primed for a great year. Historically, my biggest concern with NordicTrack treadmills was how iFit-dependent they were. But that’s all changed, and now, yes, you can watch Netflix and Spotify on your treadmill screen!  That said, if you’re not into connected workouts and just want a model on which you can run, then the Sole and Horizon lineups are strong too. Consider my quick comparison chart below of similar treadmills…

In-Depth Review of the 2025 NordicTrack 1750 Treadmill

I always enjoy getting on a NordicTrack Commercial 1750. Each season, we hop aboard treadmills manufactured by every brand. I have yet to see a year where the Commercial 1750 doesn’t come out on top. After our visit to the corporate product show in downtown Manhattan, we not only got to try out this model, but several others as well. That’s what makes our work here at TreadmillReviews.net so different. I’ve been competing as a bodybuilder and powerlifter for years and am well accustomed to machines like this. But working with this site actually takes it a step further and we put our feet on the decks and belts for a run or two. We also take the units apart from tip to top and check out the motors, rollers, and other moving parts.

The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 has certainly evolved over the years. From its very beginnings around 2014 it was designed to be an Everyathlete’s treadmill. Recent improvements of course focused heavily upon the screen and technology associated with the iFit workout program. In 2021 the model saw improved processing and dual-band WiFi compatibility to ensure better video experiences, and the iFit app became mobile-friendly. The big upgrade came the next year though when the high-definition touchscreen screen jumped in size from 10 to 16 inches. Other changes that occur every year include little tweaks to the overall size of the treadmill’s frame. My guess is the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 will always be an upscale treadmill just below the jumbo models, but don’t be surprised to an inch added or subtracted every year. In January 2025 I still enjoy getting on my NordicTrack 1750. It’s a great unit.

The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 fits easily into most apartments or bedrooms.

Big improvements this year include an upgrade from the 3.75 CHP motor to a 4.25, an improvement from the 14″ high-definition touchscreen to a 16″ model, and a complete revamping of the iFit workout program which makes it the smartest on the market. I see they’re also back to using a 60″ x 22″ tread deck instead of 20″ and this makes a difference when you’re inside the running zone. And now that you can access Netflix and Spotify by way of your screen, there’s just no complaints one can have there. As always, you can still use the treadmill without iFit, and now the manual mode is much more dynamic. That said, I’m having a hard time seeing how one can qualm the value of this program at just $39 per month. With the iFit app, the treadmill still sports automatic trainer control and Bluetooth heart rate programming, workouts with live trainers and more than 10,000 on-demand routines. The 4.25 CHP motor powers a both 12% incline and -3% decline, with top speeds up to 12 miles per hour, and a whopping 400-pound maximum in terms of user weight.

Read below to see the complete machine walkthrough and be sure to check out the links to important articles concerning decks, motors, rollers, and belts, if you have any questions about the mechanics. Rest assured, there’s a reason the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 continues to dominate the markets and happens to be among the brand’s lineup featured in regular sales.

NordicTrack 1750 vs Other Treadmills

The 2025 NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is a solid, mid-priced treadmill with a “Goldilocks” combination of features for any user now. Not too big, not too small, priced just right. The biggest selling points include its connectivity with the iFit workout app and 16″ tilt/pivot touchscreen, automatic trainer control, and incline/decline options. If you’re into connective cardio with live workouts and are shopping in the $2,500 range, the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 remains a top choice.

Frankly, given the changes NordicTrack has brought out this year, I see the 1750 as a top unit even when compared to the Sole F85, similarly priced. I used to compare the 1750 to the Sole F80 but given these upgrades, that’s no longer even close. The primary difference between those two will be Sole’s built-in programs and the free Sole+ app versus NordicTrack’s iFit programming and automatic trainer control. The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is really about as a big a treadmill can get and still remain a folding model. Measuring 77.3″ x 37″ x 59.5″ with a 400-pound user maximum, it’s big enough for some of the largest runners around, but still folds up with the touch of a finger. I’m a big fan of folding treadmills as you’ll read below.

NordicTrack Commercial 1750: In-Depth Review

Why I Like the NordicTrack Commercial 1750

The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is powerful, fun to use with iFit, and priced right at $2,499. The refreshed model for 2025 includes some big changes, particularly to its monitor and the iFit workout program. What you have now is the total package in terms of connected workouts. If you’ve never used iFit, you’ve never really worked out with artificial intelligence (AI). This program not only brings live trainers to your home, but it allows them to control your treadmill’s resistance from remote locations. Incline, decline, as well as speed, can all be managed via automatic trainer control. The same is true for on-demand workouts, which happen to be my favorite. I can hike the mountains of Scotland on my NordicTrack Commercial 1750 and the program will automatically change the elevation and speed to match. This also syncs with their Bluetooth heart rate training program ActivePulse, which can also alter the resistance to match your heartbeat. 

As someone who’s used this treadmill daily while cutting weight for a bodybuilding contest, I really liked the way iFit auto-controls the resistance. I particularly like mountain hiking workouts and because the treadmill automatically changed the incline and speed, I was able to better focus on my workouts. As far as I’m concerned, the iFit programming is probably one of the bigger reasons to buy a NordicTrack treadmill.

It Comes With An Amazing 16″ Console

If you’ve seen prior years’ NordicTrack consoles, you know the high-definition touchscreens were contained within something of a carriage which reminded me of a console television set. Now they’re free of that and really look and feel more like a giant tablet or smartphone. This makes them so much easier to move about. This treadmill comes with what I see as a perfect 16″ HD touchscreen that pivots. Sure, you can have a treadmill with any sized screen, or none at all. But for my time on a treadmill, I’d say 16″ hits that sweet spot of not-too-big, not-too-small. It’s easy to keep clean and use with the touch of a finger. This display has improved graphics processing capability and Bluetooth capabilities that are faster than ever. You can access your workouts, Netflix, or Spotifly simultaneously and it takes but a few seconds for these to sync up. This console also brings the coolest automatic fan I’ve ever seen that smartly adjusts its speed to match your workout. There’s a USB-C charging station for your phone or tablet, premium speakers for surround sound, and water bottle holders too. If you’re into luxurious home workouts, this is it.

NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Heart Rate Training Options

The 1750 does not have built-in handlebar sensors like other units, but it is Bluetooth-enabled and the iFit package is designed to sync with ActivePulse and the SmartBeat armband. It’s easily the best system I’ve ever used and matches up with my Apple 7 watch and Oura Ring in several trials. What I like about ActivePulse technology is the ability of the program to not just monitor your heart rate, but to adjust, and even override, the automatic trainer control’s resistance. So if I’m on an iFit run and the program has me moving up to an incline of 9% and speed of 5mph, but my heartrate is going too high, the little ActivePulse icon on the screen will alert me and communicate the new plan, which can be adjusted again if my heartrate goes down. Frankly, I’m amazed that two completely separate programs can interact that dynamically and still be right as rain about my pulse. ActivePulse technology comes with the machine and the iFit package, but the SmartBeat armband is sold separately by NordicTrack, or often give for free as a promotion.

The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 syncs with iFit’s SmartBeat armband monitor for heartrate monitoring.

Good Incline/Decline Features on the NordicTrack Commercial 1750

The 2025 NordicTrack Commercial 1750 has a 12% incline and -3% decline. I very rarely go over 12% in my own training and have found this to be a great range. If you’re looking for a real mountain to climb, read our review of the NordicTrack X24 which sports a 40% inclines. For most people, 12% to -3% is plenty, I assure you. And it’s good news the unit features decline, which is terrific in that it works completely different muscle groups. Whether using one of iFit’s travel workouts or the iFit’s Google Maps, these incline/decline settings really do mimic the hills and hollers of tracks in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, or even Antarctica.

I really can’t emphasize enough how important incline and decline training are when it comes to weight loss. It really doesn’t matter how much of an incline you add into the mix, but the simple fact you’re going up and down makes your body adapt while in motion. You’re just not getting the same workout without adding incline to the mix.

The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Is Easily Folded Up and Stored Away

I love folding treadmills and have written extensively about them here. Don’t think folding means flimsy. Quite the opposite. With the patented EasyLift Assist button, you can simply lift up the rear of the unit and watch it slide up into place. It’s also incredibly simple to unfold thanks to the hydraulics, and you can read my step-by-step here with pictures. The whole process times out at about 8 seconds up, and 12 seconds down, per my own stopwatch. Folding treadmills roll easily about a floor on two front-mounted wheels. But they’re also easier to keep clean, repair, and lubricate the belts. If you do want to roll the unit to the side of the room when not in use, you’ll find the process easier than moving a bookshelf.

The New iFit Program

If you’re unfamiliar with iFit, I’d recommend checking it out in full here. I’ve been using it for years with NordicTrack equipment and have seen it grow from a simple workout app to the most advanced AI training system in the world. One of the most prominent features of course is the iconic smart-adjust technology which allows the live trainer, or on-demand program, to automatically control the resistance of your machine. This also works with the cardio program, ActivePulse, where the machine can keep your heart rate on point by automatically adjusting itself as your exercise. The iFit program is also one of the few around that offer live trainers, as well as more than 12,000 on-demand videos for everything from strength, rowing, biking, and nutrition to mindfulness and meditation. It’s built to travel as it can be downloaded onto any device and all of your metrics are stored.

What’s new though is the iFit AI Coach program which selects and recommends workouts based on your past performance and also works with your directly to design your own programs. This AI Coach can contact you via text messaging if you like, and together you can build your own workouts. This comes atop even more outdoor content, which is one of the iFit programs staples. The iFit program features professional athletes and trainers visiting more than 121 nations on all seven continents, even Antarctica, as they take through whatever kind of journey you want. And now, the iFit program can sync with Strava, Garmin, Google Fit, Apple Health, and you can use Netflix and Spotlify as well. At $39 per month, it’s about the same price as its peers’ apps, but frankly, there’s just no comparison. If you’re willing to put $2,500 into the best treadmill on the market, the $39 just doesn’t seem problematic at all. And yes, I love the fact that if I also buy a rower, bike, or elliptical from NordicTrack or ProForm, this one app works on all at the same time.

NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Dimensions

The dimensions of the 2025 NordicTrack Commercial 1750 are 77.3’L x 37′ W x 59.5′ H. The step-up height is 10.01″.

To ensure the entire dimensions of the Nordictrack 1750 will fit, we suggest having space around the deck clear for when you use the treadmill. Proper ceiling height is very important to consider as well, as this treadmill has a 10.01” step-up height from floor to top of the side rails when at a flat grade. Make sure to factor 6” in deck height when at full incline. If you are an avid runner, and are 6’0″ or taller, make sure you put the treadmill in a room with at least a 8.4 ft high ceiling height or you won’t be able to use all of this treadmill’s features.

NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Weight

The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 treadmill weighs 311.5 lbs when in-box.

What We Like:

• The Motor

  The Commercial 1750 offers a 4.25 CHP motor and reaches speeds of up to 12 mph without making a ruckus. This makes it ideal for long-distance running as well as smooth and steady interval training. And now you get a lifetime warranty on the motor to boot.

• Pivot Touchscreen

  These days, it’s a must that fitness equipment comes with a touchscreen panel. With this model comes a 16″ touchscreen which allows you to flip between workout programs, check calories and miles, and use iFit so you can take advantage of on-the-go fitness guidance. You’ll also be able to run through real streets by checking out Google Street Views or using HD video feature that offers exercise paths around the world.

• iFit Treadmill Workouts

  This treadmill’s -3% to 12% decline/incline feature syncs with the elevations and dips of the landscape you choose to explore through iFit’s Google Maps feature, ensuring that it really does feel like you’re running outside on that terrain. This feature is ideal for those who struggle to stay motivated to keep exercising as it allows you to explore new locations. The incline is fast and quiet, going up and down at a rate of about 1 second each degree. So you can be at the 12% mark in the just 12 seconds, then back down to -3% in a snap.

• iFit Data Tracking

  iFit keeps tabs on fitness stats with every session. Whenever a workout is completed, the data is logged into the treadmill and then paired with any other device on iFit. This makes getting exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle recommendations easier.

• Incline & Decline Abilities

  The NordicTrack 1750 offers both a 12% incline and -3% decline to burn calories, increase your resting metabolic rate, ramp up cardiovascular conditioning level, and build muscle strength simultaneously. If you’re into interval training you can simply use an incline to complete your interval rather than having to run if you so choose. Those prone to injuries will also find that going on an incline is far easier on their body as even a 1-2% gradient can help take some of the impact off the joints. Best of all, with new and improved auto-adjust technology, incline/decline transitions are fast and smooth, great for HIIT training.

• Bluetooth Audio

  Bluetooth audio capabilities allow you to listen to your favorite workout playlists through Premium Audio Speakers wirelessly, as well as sync with any number of other devices. The ability to connect instructor-led training to your Bluetooth headphones is a nice plus. I’ve never had a problem syncing with my unit and I even have satellite Internet. It usually takes about 5 seconds to connect.

• Tread Belt

  This 60″ x 22″ tread belt gives you plenty of space to move, and at 2″ wider than the industry standard, it easily accommodates larger individuals. What’s more, the belt’s thickness helps to minimize the amount of noise it makes while offering better overall longevity. Also, this is a 2-ply belt which is the preferred type, as opposed to a cheaper 1-ply belt. A regularly lubricated 2-ply belt could last you 10 years depending on use.

• Cushioning Preferences

  Prepping for a road on a cushy deck makes things too easy. This treadmill offers the ability to turn the cushioning on or off according to your preferences so you can save your joints and use the cushioning only when you need it. Keep in mind that by having it off, you’re adding 30% more impact to your joints, so you shouldn’t train this way in the long term.

• Cooling Options

  If you want to stay cool while you run or walk, the Commercial 1750’s dual AutoBreeze workout fans will do the trick. While this may seem like a treadmill luxury rather than a necessity, it’s definitely nice to have while you work out.

• Foldable Options

  Looking for a treadmill that you can tuck away into storage after you work out? As a folding treadmill that can be stored upright to be easily packed, the Commercial 1750 is an ideal option for this.

• Weight Capacity

  This is a pretty heavy-duty treadmill and can support users of up to 400 pounds.

What We Don’t Like:

• iFit-Dependent

  Yes, the machine will work without the $39 per month iFit program, but you’ll lose all the features which make the treadmill a great buy. The treadmill effectively goes into a manual-only mode as there are no built-in programs. I’d recommend checking out the iFit program online and getting a free trial for your phone. If you’re not into iFit, the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 might not be for you as that’s where so much of the value is.

The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Could Be For You If You Want:

• Lots of extras to keep you motivated like unlimited workout programs
• Incline and decline
• A quiet treadmill motor that can accommodate long-distance running, interval training, and speeds up to 12 mph
• Cushioning for joint protection with an option to disable to mimic outdoor road running

Will I have problems with the NordicTrack 1750

I run 5-6 times a week on this treadmill and have not had any issues with this deck. It has been solid and I push it very hard. That said, like with any device, there are users who have had issues with the 1750 and have reached out to TreadmillReviews to share their experiences. We include those here so you can see a balanced view of both what I see, and what other runners have complained about.

Some of the more common complaints about this treadmill:

• Assembly can be difficult. This is true of many treadmills, but there are many runners who have asked me about assembly and whether I found it difficult. The Commercial 1750 claims to have an out-of-the-box easy assembly, but you will want 2 people for assembly because some of the pieces are quite heavy. There are some good videos from NordicTrack on how to assemble this treadmill.
• Several runners complained that they had to replace the electronic controller /motor board on their 1750 shortly after purchase. They replace it under warranty as they were under the 2-year electronics warranty that NordicTrack provides. If I had to pick one part that could fail on the unit, it would be the electronic controller, and I’ve heard stories from runners across many years of the 1750 devices.
• Several runners have had their units shut off mid-workout. This is often related to the electronic controller above, and you can call NordicTrack support while under warranty to troubleshoot this.
• There have been reports of the motors overheating on the devices. The motor has a lifetime warranty and NordicTrack will replace this if it happens.
• Several runners have said the incline and speed on the screen did not match their (perception) of the speed or angle. In my tests, using an angle tester and a speed measurement device, the 1750’s I have tested from each year have always matched the speed, but this is a fairly common comment from runners who reach out to me.
• Some runners have complained about belt slippage on the 1750.
• Some runners do not like the speed adjust on the decline. This is a software feature that adjusts the speed on the decline for safety, but it can feel unnatural when I run on a decline. It does take some getting used to.
• There are also some complaints about software glitches within the iFit system. A few years ago, NordicTrack did software brick treadmills through an over the air update.

That said, almost every runner will tell you NordicTrack replaced the components that were affected under warranty and that they had decent interactions with NordicTrack support.

What’s Changed For The 2023 Model Year

Each year a few models get upgrades. Larger screens, stronger motors, or better tech are common.

New for 2023 (January 2023 release)

• Measurements: The height, width, and length of the unit has been made more compact for the 2023 model.
