NordicTrack Review
What You Should Know
NordicTrack is a popular line of fitness equipment that originally made headlines 20 years ago for its unique “NordicTrack Skiers”, but today features treadmills, elliptical trainers, incline trainers, and exercise bikes as part of their world renowned product line. Their philosophy is based around one purpose: provide a simple device that puts minimal impact on the joints while providing a strenuous workout. Although some debate about how easy it is to use NordicTrack devices, it is still very popular with dieters.
NordicTrack devices tend to be cheaper than the competition — treadmills cost around $1,000 whereas their patented ski trainers cost about $700.00 — and its long history makes this a very popular product line with consumers. But will these machines provide a substantial workout for dieters? Let’s find out.

Product Features
NordicTrack has introduced other exercise machines over the years, including treadmills, elliptical trainers, their patented NordicTrack skiers, and incline trainers, all which claim to be easy on the joints while providing a maximum strength and cardio workout. Although there have not been many studies on the actual NordicTrack brand, studies do show that elliptical trainers may be a valuable source for increasing cardiovascular activity, along with treadmills. Less positive results have been discovered on NordicTrack’s skiing devices. Nevertheless, it may offer cardio support for dieters seeking a machine that targets these components, but using these devices alone will not provide complete fitness support for dieters. Combining other cardiovascular exercise, such as martial arts or running may offer better solutions.
NordicTrack offers many devices for exercising at home and the prices are more manageable than other brands, but it is vitally important to get exercise in other forms such as incorporating strength exercises and different types of machines to gain strength and increase the strength of the entire body. Dieters should not depend on one device for this type of support.
Advantages
- Offers numerous fitness machines, such as treadmills, NordicTrack skiers, and incline trainers.
- Is cheaper than other brands.
Disadvantages
- Is not appropriate to depend on one device as a full exercise regimen.
- No studies point out any advantages NordicTrack has over other brands.
- Only provides cardio-training machines, such as treadmills and elliptical trainers.
Conclusion
The NordicTrack brand has been a staple in households since the 1980s, but today hosts an extensive line of products that claim to offer full cardio support to dieters. The price and availability of these products are a plus as well. Dieters should not depend on these devices alone for a full exercise regimen, however. It is best to incorporate other exercises that help dieters train all muscles of the body.
