NordicTrack - Commercial 2950 Treadmill - Black

Ex Orangetheory nut turned ifit enthusiast! This treadmill is fantastic. I love that you can virtually run all over the world led by world-class trainers. The treadmill has the option to speed up and incline automatically based on the terrain and trainer’s speed. I was skeptical based on mixed reviews but I’m so glad I bought this machine.

Very poor quality and durability. First issue was no sound. Second was broken control module after a few months. Latest is cracked deck (10 months); see picture. Plan on fixing problems yourself, nordictrack just sends parts with no instructions and says good luck. Terrible treadmill.

I finally bought this after waiting over 4 months for gyms to open due to C-19 and they unfortunately they didn’t. So I finally invested in this particular treadmill. All I can say is that this treadmill is definitely worth every penny! It’s professionally made and has all the bells and whistles that you’d find on a treadmill at the gym but a bit more with the large screen! The incline and speeds work great for newbies or intermediate runners/joggers and it’s not too loud. If you have the chance, definitely set up the iFit option, it has wonderful workouts for all walks of life. IFit offers my family and I all levels of workouts that not only involve the treadmill but other fitness workouts from kettlebell to weights to yoga, HIIT to full body interval workouts. They don’t miss a beat on iFit! My family and I all use it and are at all different fitness levels and we are all satisfied. Even without the iFit options, there are plenty of available options with or without incline available that you would see on gym treadmills.

This treadmill took four hours and two men to put together. So...not easy as the Best Buy driver told me it was. The screen is nice and big, and with the one year iFit it is great fun. They are still working out some of the programming glitches but I still give a thumbs up. The fans tend to hit me right at my chest, I am 5'6 so a bit odd, but it is what it is. It is okay to put into the upright position do note it is not really that out of the way when you do it. You will need a mat under this even on carpet, it is heavy. I will say, I had thought this was the same version on Nordics site, it is not. Notice the arm rails-they don't allow for push walking, the one on Nordic for the same price have hand rests that are upright. Great for power walking, but that is my mistake for not paying attention. I don't notice the difference in the knob that is supposed to provide a more cushy walk versus a more solid walk, both feel the same to me. The machine itself, is not loud but the fans are. The sound is good, the visual good as well. Please make sure to know that you can't watch anything on this screen other than iFit. Despite any commentary above, at the end of the day this allows for immersive fitness with iFit and the treadmill is maybe one level down from a really great gym treadmill. Although I think this one is better than most gym treadmills. I would encourage you to buy the protection coverage either from Best Buy or Nordictrack. This an expensive item that should seriously hold up for years but one never knows.

I usually run on the treadmill for an hour at a time and it gets really boring...but not with this unit! The workouts on the screen are a perfect combinations of cardio and strength at all different levels. It's refreshing that I don't need to have my tablet or a TV in front of me to break the boredom of running! The only reason I give it 4 stars is because I would like to be able to surf the internet while I run if I wanted to. The software does not allow that so I will have to figure out a way to mount my tablet somehow.

This treadmill is very durable and stable. It is definitely commercial grade. It looks and performs great and I am very satisfied with the purchase. By the way, the installation service offered by best buy was top notch. I recommend using this service if you are thinking about purchasing the NordicTrack - Commercial 2950. It is too big and too heavy to maneuver without help.

This treadmill is easy to use but take to much space. I was hoping for one smaller. I would not recommend to a friend because it is too big if you don’t have enough space in your house and if you need to move it (good luck with that). The screen is nice and the program is great, while you exercise you can travel any where in the world. But I think you have to pay to use the program. I use the treadmill only manually, I’m a 72 years old healthy lady and I’m want to continue being healthy. I know my limit!! I still would like to use the program so I can go to all those countries while I exercise.

Our gym closed and we started to pack on the pounds so we made the decision to take back our health. However, we knew we would need some motivation. In addition to the 2950 being an awesome treadmill, it came with a free full year of "ifit" that offers incredible journeys the trainers take you on while the treadmill automatically adjusts (speed/incline) as you go. I've hiked a path in Lake Tahoe and my wife has walked/jogged in exotic places too. They are great workouts with trainers that motivate and make you feel like you're right there with them.
