NordicTrack T 6.5 Si Treadmill + 1 Year iFit Membership (WORTH IT!) with the 10-inch screen. This review is for the NordicTrack T 6.5 Si Treadmill + 1 Year iFit Membership (WORTH IT!) with the 10-inch screen.I have owned this treadmill for 5 months 1 day as of the current date/writing of this review (May 9, 2020).This is the first treadmill I have ever owned (I actually bought it as a gift to my girlfriend) and it has been awesome! She loves it too, of course.Assembly: 4/5 - The assembly was interesting, to say the least, but with the help of my girlfriend, it took us between an hour or two to finish. I'm pretty sure it was much closer to two hours. I do not think it is possible to assemble by yourself but kudos to you if you manage to get it assembled on your own. Then again, try it by yourself and you'll be so worked up from not having an extra 30 pairs of hands to help that you'll be ready to run 30 miles when it's all said and done. I personally would not recommend it, though. You, in some instances, need someone to hold the upper half of the frame while the other is screwing stuff in to anchor it all together. I mentioned the assembly was interesting earlier in the sense of how everything eventually came together so perfectly. There's always one or two small hiccups with getting a screw hole to align...maybe it is just me but that seems to always be expected when I put anything together. I do recall having a slight issue where some wires on the right-hand side needed to be tucked away. I think we were able to rig it so they stayed put so no real big issues there - they are actually run through/inside the right bar that stands vertically touching the floor. The only bar connecting the bottom of the treadmill to the top...it's maybe at a slight 20-degree angle. Anyways, those particular wires are used to connect either the speakers, monitor, or both. Either way, you have to have them. I rate the instructions and everything assembly related a 4/5 deducting one star because you need a second person. As far as how well written the instructions goes and the lack of wtf's that DIDN'T happen, much (which is good by the way), I rate that a 5/5.Quality: 5/5 - I personally think the quality of the treadmill, build materials, the built-in 10 inch screen, speakers, and any other random odds and ends to be pretty good quality. There is a lot of plastic but it all feels solid and sturdy and should last for many, many years to come.Noise: 5/5 - I think the noise is about as quiet as you can make a treadmill. Then again, if you're running in place on something suspended off the ground then there are bound to be thuds with each step...I speak from firsthand experience. The speakers get quite loud so that's good noise if you are playing music or watching some of the iFit videos which will be discussed further down but not TOO far in-depth since I want to keep my review specifically on the treadmill itself. Yes, I realize iFit is more...fit...to be in the feature section below yet here it is. :)Features: 4.5/5 - If you want some good bells and whistles without dropping three grand on a Ferrari-like treadmill this is absolutely more than enough. Especially if you're like me and have never owned a treadmill before. It is a 10-speed treadmill with 10 levels of incline that increment from being flat (0.0) all the way to (45-degree angle upwards maybe?)10.0 at 0.1 increments. The iFit membership I think is stunning! Running in another country or hillside with a trainer all while enjoying the scenery (don't wimp out on monitor size or this is less enjoyable) while getting a good workout makes using this treadmill so much more enjoyable/pleasant. I'm not sure what the little orange/yellow cushion things are called but they are there as support for your joints. When you land, from jogging or running, they squish down to reduce the impact on your knees and other joints. I thought they looked silly but now that I know how well they work and what they are for I don't think they are so funny anymore. The other features you can more easily see from viewing the posted pictures. Cupholders, how big the speakers are, buttons, other little knickknacks. I have not had to use the folding feature of the treadmill to "tuck" it away in a corner but I did enjoy playing with the feature when putting it together. I have only used it honestly like 2-3 times and from what I could tell it works well. I do like that there is a "no slam" feature where if when you are letting it down and it slips it won't come crashing down. It will catch itself and slowly lower itself down automagically safe and sound...so that's neat. I docked half a point because the heartbeat sensor(s) you put your hands on don't really work all that well. I don't expect them to be 100% perfect or accurate by any means but I found that I have to, more of than not, situate my hands jusssst the right way for it to start giving me a readout. No biggie for me personally, since I have a Fitbit watch, but for anyone out there who is curious...it doesn't work very well for me personally. You might not have any issues with yours but I do with mine. Again, no deal-breaker for me by any means.iFit Membership: 5/5 - This I am going to briefly touch on and recommend everyone visit the NordicTrack website under the iFit section. I would post a link but I don't know if Amazon filters those out or not so I'll leave it up to you to learn your way around google. There is a TON of information there if you are interested for more information. Our purchase included the 1-year free iFIt membership. I am pretty certain that alone is a $300 value. What I like about it the most is that my girlfriend and I have created our own accounts and can share the membership. This way I can track my workouts and she can track hers on our own unique accounts. Logging in and out is pretty seamless (couple touches and you're logged in). I believe once you login once it doesn't log you out automatically so it's a matter of swapping accounts based on who is about to workout. You can keep track of things such as what days we worked out on, what workout we did, for how long, calories burned, and a LOT more. The membership is honestly a really great idea though. Just make sure you have your treadmill somewhat close to your modem or router (for Internet). Like most things nowadays...the videos need to be streamed while you are viewing them. Aka, you need to be online and connected to the Internet. So be aware of your placement when deciding where to put your treadmill.I hope this review has helped anyone on the fence as to what they want for their next treadmill.Happy treading!
Just welcome my new threadmill. Easy assembly and works great.First of all, after extensive research on best treadmills in the internet, many YouTube reviews and assembly videos, taking a close look at the Amazon reviews and looking at the lowest price in CamelCamelCamel, I thought this was the best model for my needs.This treadmill is actually for snowy and raining days, my wife and I prefer running and walking outside but we live in central New York State with a wicked winter. Based on that I selected a model at a more reasonable price tag, plus I waited for the Black Friday deals which worked perfectly. The treadmill will be used by myself and my wife only, we are in our mid-sixties. I run a 5K every morning and after I walk with my wife 4 miles daily. We are in great physical shape but we are not top athletes.Ordering: Be wise and get “Room of Choice Delivery” for $20. It is a very heavy box and my treadmill was going to the third floor. Best spent $20.Assembly: I watched a few YouTube videos, they were very helpful. The assembly movie in Amazon is not for this model. There is also a very useful App recommended by NordicTrack, BILT, it is free and very convenient, get it. The instructions that came with the treadmill were good too. I had the help of my wife, took my time, and after one hour it was all assembled. It went flawless. Nothing came broken and no damage during the installation. I have to say that everything inside the shipping box was well protected during the shipping.Start-Up: First of all, I do not care for using iFIT, I don’t need a coach to energize me, we are always all pump-up about exercising. I use my tablet/Ipad with YouTube, I look for scenic hike like in the Alp’s or the Rockies and that works perfectly for me. My wife watches her own videos or make calls. I don’t think it is necessary to pay for the app. The reviews make it clear that iFIT customer service is very poor and will not help bypassing the app. Maybe if the only charge $5 a month, then maybe you can try it. It is a personal decision. So, I turned it on and press the iFIT button for 15 seconds to defeat the iFIT app. It energized and ready for use. Ready for a test, I raised the incline and it worked, I brought the speed slowly and everything sounded good and worked.Use:So, it snowed in New York and we fully tested the treadmill. I started walking and changed the inclined and accelerated manually. I had my tablet on top of the panel, I could still change speed and incline. As long as the running speed is less than 6 mph the table was stable, once you go up it will rattle a little bit. I had the tablet connected to the speakers; they are no Bose speakers but sounded a lot better than the tablet speaker. The screen gives you enough information and I can see the information without my glasses. I use an Apple watch which is more accurate so I don’t go by the panel on calories or pulse. I tested the various preprogram workouts and they work fine. The motor is not loud even if it is an under $700 treadmill. I ran up to 7 mph and everything was good. I don’t need to go up to 10 mph so I have enough room for running. Ran for one hour and was happy with the machine, had a great workout.It was the first time for my wife to use the treadmill, I explained everything, it was easy, she did her walk changing manually the speed and the incline. She loved the treadmill; I think she will be the may user. Everything works great and it looks good.Stowing: Easy to lift to the stow position and easy to move around. Mine is stationary at a window so I can look out.I will update the review later, it does look very solid, let’s see how long it last.I highly recommend this treadmill for home use, specially if you don’t need a fancy big screen and it is mostly for the days you can’t run/walk outside. Great for just a couple of people with a few hours of usage a day.
Buenas tardesNecesito que el vendedor me contacte porfavor porque la pantalla de mi caminadora no funciona, esta en blanco. Y la compré en Octubre del 2023, hace 3 meses. Gracias
Muy buen producto la he estado usando uno por una semana me parece muy bien.Se armó rápidamente sin necesidad de comprar membresías como no mencionan en otros comentarios.Tengan cuidado porque sí está muy pesada para subir la al segundo piso nos costó mucho trabajo.
Si te falla el wifi se desactiva la máquina y no se puede utilizar sin conexión a Internet
Me gustó como funciona, es silenciosa en mi opinión debería traer un entrenamiento precargado no tener que pagar más por el e training
The media could not be loaded. Got this treadmill a few weeks ago and have been using it daily. It’s perfect for light jogging; it feels pretty sturdy and I would say the noise level is around the same as that of gym treadmills. For walking in incline, the noise level gets a lot better. It has all the features you can think of, including pulse detection. It also has a feature which allows you to store the treadmill in a vertical position to save space.Assembly wise, it was pretty straightforward, it took my husband and I a little over an hour to get get it up and running. The base is very heavy, so moving it down the stairs was a little tricky but it’s doable for two persons.Overall, very happy with the purchase. The 5 inch model is in my opinion truly the best value for your money!

Treadmill Features
When choosing between treadmills, you must consider several things before deciding. Here’s a brief overview of each type of treadmill so you know which would best suit your needs.
Track Size
The width of the tread is usually 18-22 inches. However, the length varies from 52 to more than 62 inches. A track size length of 55 inches is an excellent selection for a walker.
Whereas a track size of 60 inches is an excellent option for a runner.
If you’re shorter than average (between 5’7″ and 6’4,”) subtract 2-3 inches.
If you’re taller than average, add 3-5 inches.
Tread Depth
Most people think that the deeper the tread, the better traction. But this isn’t necessarily true. The tread depth has minimal traction impact compared to other factors like sole design and the material used to create the shoe.
A deep tread is ideal for running primarily on hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete. However, a shallow tread may work as well if you spend most of your time on soft ground like grass, mud, or sand.
Sole Material
There are several different types of soles available today:
Rubber – This is the most popular choice since it provides excellent grip and durability while being lightweight. It comes in two main varieties:
Synthetic – A synthetic sole comprises multiple layers of rubber bonded together using an adhesive. It offers excellent traction and abrasion resistance.
Rubber – This is simply rubber without any additional layers. Although not recommended for high-intensity workouts, it works well for long-distance runs.
Synthetic/rubber – This combination of materials provides a good balance between the benefits of both materials.
Cushioning
15-40% softer than the road is typical for any treadmill. If you’re preparing for road running, choose a softer cushioning. More padding will make walking easier if you’re training for road running.
There are three types of cushioning options:
Foam – This option uses foam padding to provide extra comfort during exercise. Some models even come with built-in shock absorption.
Insole – This option adds a layer of padding directly beneath the foot. This helps reduce pressure points and provides support where needed.
Customized – This option lets you customize the cushioning to fit your feet.
Weight Capacity
The maximum weight capacity depends on the model and its motor. Most machines have a 150 lb. limit, although some can handle up to 200 lbs.
Compact
If you are storing your treadmill in a place where you live, such as a basement or garage, consider investing in a fold-up model to save floor space when it isn’t being used.
Treadmill storage is easy with the right design and materials. You can store treadmills in closets, under beds, basements or garages, or shelves. If you use them for over a season, consider purchasing an insulated cover that keeps them dry during the winter.
Motor Power
Horsepower is a measure of how well your workshop’s equipment can perform. The higher the number, the smoother the continuous action, and the harder you press the machine. It ranges from approximately 1.5 to 3.0+.
The motor’s power determines the amount of torque generated by the belt. Torque is measured in pounds per square inch.
Lowest – Lowest means the lowest possible torque, which translates into slow speeds.
Medium – Medium motors produce medium amounts of torque and offer moderate speeds.
High – High motors provide higher torque, resulting in faster speeds.
Speed Control
Some treadmills come with built-in speed controls, whereas others require you to use hand cranks. If you want to control the speed manually, you’ll need to install a variable frequency drive.
Wheels Included
Treadmills typically include four wheels. These wheels allow you to move freely around the room during setup and maintenance. Some models even come with caster wheels that make it easier to navigate uneven terrain.
Programming
You’ll be in control of an advanced vehicle that looks like something out of Star Wars™ when equipped with state-of-the-art technology for tracking your health and connecting with Google maps if you’ve been away from a gym for some time.
Track Speed
Walking fast is one way to go if you want to improve your health. For walkers who want to run faster than they currently do, walking intervals (or jogging) might be an option. However, if you’re already running fast enough, adding additional time to each mile could help improve your endurance.
Incline
The slope on a treadmill is measured in degrees; the higher you go, the more effort it takes to run. The range at which maximum incline may be used is 10-20%. Walkers should be able to manage with inclines of 10% and less.
Decline
Treadmill prices for models under $2,500 declined by about 3% last year. It might be worth trying out if you’re unsure whether you want to change your routine for variety.
High-Intensity Training
If you’re training at a high level and want a machine that will keep you striving for more, the X11i Incline Treadmill can handle it. The treadmill has an incline range of 0 to 15 degrees so that you can train safely on any surface, from flat ground up to steep hills.
The X11i is built with steel-reinforced decking and heavy-duty rollers, making this treadmill sturdy enough to withstand your most rigorous workouts. It also features a large LCD screen and various workout programs, including interval training, speed control, calorie counting, and much more.
Budget
There are treadmills for every budget. Commercial 1750 is the greatest value. It’s a sturdy and dependable treadmill that will last you for years.
The Commercial 1750 Treadmill has a lot going for it. It’s one of the best-selling treadmills on Amazon right now. And with a price tag under $1000, it’s also one of the cheapest models available. But does it live up to its claims? Let’s take a closer look at this popular model.
Warranty
Look for a good warranty. Warranties usually indicate the product’s longevity – the longer the warranty, the more durable it is.
Conclusion
On the market, there are numerous treadmill models available. In the end, there are lots of treadmills available for purchase. If you want to buy a good treadmill, consider how you’d like to use it and your goals before buying one.
Additional Features
Other features that can be found on treadmills include:
- Handles
- Inclines
- Footrests
- Safety Precautions
Before purchasing a new treadmill, check the manufacturer’s warranty and read the user manual thoroughly. Make sure that you understand how to clean and maintain the machine properly.
Choosing the Perfect Treadmill for Your Fitness Journey
When embarking on a fitness journey, choosing the perfect treadmill is crucial. NordicTrack offers a wide range of treadmills with various capabilities to suit different fitness levels. From budget treadmills to premium options, each model is designed to cater to specific needs and preferences.
For instance, the Incline series boasts impressive incline and decline capabilities, allowing for a more challenging workout. On the other hand, if simplicity and affordability are your priorities, a no-frills treadmill might be the sweet spot. Consider your daily activity level and specific fitness goals when purchasing a treadmill.
Exploring Innovative Features and Technologies
NordicTrack treadmills come equipped with many innovative features that enhance the user experience and contribute to a fulfilling fitness routine. Touchscreen consoles, iFit workouts, and adjustable cushioning technology are some of the standout features.
The touchscreen allows for intuitive controls and access to many iFit workouts, ensuring that your training options are vast and varied. The iFit subscription service opens the door to interactive workouts, personalized training from top-notch personal trainers, and in-depth workout stats, making it a valuable asset in your fitness journey.
Understanding Treadmill Specifications and Warranties
Knowledge of treadmill specifications such as motors, deck size, and maximum horsepower is essential for making an informed decision. More robust motors and larger deck sizes indicate a high-end treadmill, suitable for intense workouts and heavier users. Additionally, understanding treadmill warranties is crucial.
NordicTrack, for instance, offers excellent warranties, including a 10-year frame warranty, ensuring that your investment is protected. Always consider these specifications and warranties to ensure that you choose a treadmill that aligns with your needs and expectations.
Evaluating Subscription Services and Additional Costs
Consider the subscription services and additional costs associated with the treadmill. NordicTrack treadmills often come with iFit subscription options, which offer a wide range of workouts and personal training sessions. However, it’s essential to consider the monthly subscription costs and evaluate whether it aligns with your budget and fitness goals.
Additionally, consider other costs such as maintenance and potential financing options, to ensure your treadmill purchase remains a valuable investment in the long run.

The frame on this NordicTrack T7.5 S treadmill is built from 2″ x 3″ steel tube construction throughout most parts of its construction, including its base and deck supports, where they meet together underneath your feet when exercising (so no worries about those vibrations). This helps give it strength without adding too much weight because it weighs only around 300 pounds in total!
NordicTrack T8.5 S Treadmill
The NordicTrack T8.5 S Treadmill is a great option for the budget-minded consumer. It has a powerful motor and an ample running surface, with some nice features like a fan and speakers.

NordicTrack T 6.5 Si Treadmill + 1 Year iFit Membership (WORTH IT!) with the 10-inch screen. This review is for the NordicTrack T 6.5 Si Treadmill + 1 Year iFit Membership (WORTH IT!) with the 10-inch screen.I have owned this treadmill for 5 months 1 day as of the current date/writing of this review (May 9, 2020).This is the first treadmill I have ever owned (I actually bought it as a gift to my girlfriend) and it has been awesome!

You can keep track of things such as what days we worked out on, what workout we did, for how long, calories burned, and a LOT more. The membership is honestly a really great idea though. Just make sure you have your treadmill somewhat close to your modem or router (for Internet). Like most things nowadays...the videos need to be streamed while you are viewing them. Aka, you need to be online and connected to the Internet. So be aware of your placement when deciding where to put your treadmill.I hope this review has helped anyone on the fence as to what they want for their next treadmill.Happy treading!
Just welcome my new threadmill. Easy assembly and works great.First of all, after extensive research on best treadmills in the internet, many YouTube reviews and assembly videos, taking a close look at the Amazon reviews and looking at the lowest price in CamelCamelCamel, I thought this was the best model for my needs.This treadmill is actually for snowy and raining days, my wife and I prefer running and walking outside but we live in central New York State with a wicked winter. Based on that I selected a model at a more reasonable price tag, plus I waited for the Black Friday deals which worked perfectly. The treadmill will be used by myself and my wife only, we are in our mid-sixties. I run a 5K every morning and after I walk with my wife 4 miles daily. We are in great physical shape but we are not top athletes.Ordering: Be wise and get “Room of Choice Delivery” for $20. It is a very heavy box and my treadmill was going to the third floor. Best spent $20.Assembly: I watched a few YouTube videos, they were very helpful. The assembly movie in Amazon is not for this model. There is also a very useful App recommended by NordicTrack, BILT, it is free and very convenient, get it. The instructions that came with the treadmill were good too. I had the help of my wife, took my time, and after one hour it was all assembled. It went flawless. Nothing came broken and no damage during the installation. I have to say that everything inside the shipping box was well protected during the shipping.Start-Up: First of all, I do not care for using iFIT, I don’t need a coach to energize me, we are always all pump-up about exercising. I use my tablet/Ipad with YouTube, I look for scenic hike like in the Alp’s or the Rockies and that works perfectly for me. My wife watches her own videos or make calls. I don’t think it is necessary to pay for the app. The reviews make it clear that iFIT customer service is very poor and will not help bypassing the app. Maybe if the only charge $5 a month, then maybe you can try it. It is a personal decision. So, I turned it on and press the iFIT button for 15 seconds to defeat the iFIT app. It energized and ready for use. Ready for a test, I raised the incline and it worked, I brought the speed slowly and everything sounded good and worked.Use:So, it snowed in New York and we fully tested the treadmill. I started walking and changed the inclined and accelerated manually. I had my tablet on top of the panel, I could still change speed and incline. As long as the running speed is less than 6 mph the table was stable, once you go up it will rattle a little bit. I had the tablet connected to the speakers; they are no Bose speakers but sounded a lot better than the tablet speaker. The screen gives you enough information and I can see the information without my glasses. I use an Apple watch which is more accurate so I don’t go by the panel on calories or pulse. I tested the various preprogram workouts and they work fine. The motor is not loud even if it is an under $700 treadmill. I ran up to 7 mph and everything was good. I don’t need to go up to 10 mph so I have enough room for running. Ran for one hour and was happy with the machine, had a great workout.It was the first time for my wife to use the treadmill, I explained everything, it was easy, she did her walk changing manually the speed and the incline. She loved the treadmill; I think she will be the may user. Everything works great and it looks good.Stowing: Easy to lift to the stow position and easy to move around. Mine is stationary at a window so I can look out.I will update the review later, it does look very solid, let’s see how long it last.I highly recommend this treadmill for home use, specially if you don’t need a fancy big screen and it is mostly for the days you can’t run/walk outside. Great for just a couple of people with a few hours of usage a day.
Buenas tardesNecesito que el vendedor me contacte porfavor porque la pantalla de mi caminadora no funciona, esta en blanco. Y la compré en Octubre del 2023, hace 3 meses. Gracias
Muy buen producto la he estado usando uno por una semana me parece muy bien.Se armó rápidamente sin necesidad de comprar membresías como no mencionan en otros comentarios.Tengan cuidado porque sí está muy pesada para subir la al segundo piso nos costó mucho trabajo.
Si te falla el wifi se desactiva la máquina y no se puede utilizar sin conexión a Internet
Me gustó como funciona, es silenciosa en mi opinión debería traer un entrenamiento precargado no tener que pagar más por el e training
The media could not be loaded. Got this treadmill a few weeks ago and have been using it daily. It’s perfect for light jogging; it feels pretty sturdy and I would say the noise level is around the same as that of gym treadmills. For walking in incline, the noise level gets a lot better. It has all the features you can think of, including pulse detection. It also has a feature which allows you to store the treadmill in a vertical position to save space.Assembly wise, it was pretty straightforward, it took my husband and I a little over an hour to get get it up and running. The base is very heavy, so moving it down the stairs was a little tricky but it’s doable for two persons.Overall, very happy with the purchase. The 5 inch model is in my opinion truly the best value for your money!
