I disagree with this list. I service and sell fitness equipment. Nordictrack is the number 1 call we receive with broken down treadmills and most of the time we can’t get ahold of them to get parts for warranty and if we got ahold of them they have a reason it can’t be covered. I recommend Precor, spirit fitness, life fitness and true fitness. They have great warranty’s and hold up for the long run.
I tried to respond to this comment by saying you’re 100% correct. I’ve been repairing and maintaining fitness equipment for two decades. Nordictrack is the last treadmill anyone should buy. Just look at the model name for instance. “Commercial 1750”. There is nothing commercial grade about this junk… its a shame Coop has sold out his channel to the biggest advertising company in the world. Icon Health and Fitness…. Don’t say you weren’t warned!!
What would you recommend for a cheap reliable treadmill. Don’t need/want a console or incline, it can just be a pad with a remote for speed control idc
Heads up everyone: many treadmills require a dedicated 20 amp circuit. Most home bedrooms in the USA only have 15 amp outlets. Using a 20 amp treadmill in a 15 amp circuit can cause surging which will damage the motor and can overheat your wiring or trip a breaker. Check the minimum amp requirements before buying a treadmill...
I've been a fitness equipment technician for 8 years now. You've made a great list of equipment to be avoided - most people want a treadmill that can be reliably serviced after 5, 10, or 15 years. With the exception of Horizon or Sole, these other companies exist to push garbage machines through planned obsolescence. Taking the repairability and long-term ownership experience into account would help your viewers a lot more than comparing equipment by taking specs at face value. If I can help at all, let me know!
@@PeaceDeliverer definitely Sole, but we've actually been working with California Fitness recently, which is newer and smaller, but the equipment is much better. Sole is a nice, sturdy option, with a solid reputation.

I have had a Nordictrack 1750 since 2016. I use everyday, and other than minimal maintenance, I have not had any issues. I think it works as good as the day I got it. I did have to put a new memory card in for around $120, but fixed it in a few minutes.

This is one of the best reviews. I will admit, I do not watch reviews a ton, but I have been researching treadmills and the review, along with the snippets of interesting facts, the photos and really complete info on what to look overall as well as on specific treadmills, along with the delivery and presentation overall are excellent. Thank you!
I got the Sole F63 and it's been good. It's $1200 without LCD panels or any bells or whistles, which means all of the money you spend goes into the treadmill itself. That makes me feel good about my investment
I do powerlifting and HATE cardio but my gym recently got a nordic track treadmill and I LOVE it! I do cardip daily now with their workouts bc it helps distract me and the auto changing incline and speed keeps me from getting bored when I move away I'm definitely buying myself one of them!
I live in Florida. Never thought I’d consider buying a treadmill once I moved here, the weather is always nice enough to run outside. But having kids and when I am home alone with them, I try to workout during nap time, while wife is at work, grocery shopping etc… which means I can’t go run a mile away from my house.
For me, I would say the best treadmill would be something that you look forward to using every week, every month, year after a year. I have the peloton tread plus, and I've got to say it's hands down the best treadmill I've ever used. I love that it's a slat track system that's on roller bearings and not a belt driven one. I came from a matrix commercial treadmill to using this one. While the matrix was much heavier and far more expensive, I still very much prefer the Peloton. It's too bad you didn't have the tread plus to compare to the other treadmills versus their standard belt driven one, I feel the tread plus slat and ball bearing system is far superior. What really puts it over the top for me, and this includes their bike as well, is their programming. Nothing else out there that I have tried even comes close to the classes/ workouts available. I also feel like they were targeted as far as bad media about some of the very unfortunate accidents that happened. These type of terrible accidents are not unheard of and been happening for quite some time with other brands but you never seem to hear the type of media coverage you did with pelaton. I'm also not a brand loyalist fan boy. I gave up a over $9000 treadmill for something that was less than half the cost simply because it functioned and worked more to my needs.
Can definitely vouch for Sole, I sold treadmills for a few years and they were always the most reliable, built well and had good after sales service. Cannot say the same for anything nordictrack.
@@LadyGoza depends on how well it was looked after really.. If you can get a video of it running it can tell you alot. I'd imagine the belt may need adjusting and it naturally moves off center. Worth looking into though, some people don't know the value of what they've got!
@@davidsmith7855 she just said that she barely used it and now needed the space for her grandkids. What would you do? I’m not a runner, and my husband likes to jog. Neither of us is tall, but he is muscular.
As of the recent iFit software update there has been many cases where NordicTrack treadmills have essentially become bricks. I have contacted support regarding this and the have ordered a new console which has a 4-6 week lead time. My treadmill is 3 weeks old! I am using the NordicTrack EXP 14i. Very Similar to the C-1750 from the video. I believe the new 1750 is a bit updated from the version in the video.
Sorry to hear that! I had bowflex treadmill t10. It is a nightmare! The company send out two repairmen and replaced most of the parts! Then after three months of trying to fix it, finally they replaced me a brand new one! We installed it. Within days, the software update failed and the machine started to having issues!! Until now, the machine is a joke in my house… btw, the customer care team told me : if you don’t agree with me that you are not getting refund for the machine or return the machine , I will have to end your call right now.
Good info, I have the NordicTrack 1750 for around 5 years with 5000 kilo and it's still going strong but I keep well maintained. One feature that many are Looking for is a good treadmill that has ERG Mode that is not locked with IFIT or Peloton. So we could pair the treadmill with a third party like Zwift etc like we do with bike trainers. Thanks
For clarity the Peloton Tread+ was the unit that was recalled and no longer commercially available (at least not yet). I own the Tread+ and it is light years ahead of the Tread available today. Customer Service was not great and we had to wait a few months but nearly as bad as some were dealing with during Covid. The classes are, by far, the best on the market and that is what you are buying for. iFit is also very good but I prefer Peloton's instructors and options; Their app is solid too. I found the up front cost of Peloton extreme but over the couple of years we have had the Tread+ it has been great and the content best in class. The value proposition, for me, grew over time. Great content Coop!
I stick to Reebok for home gym machines! I used to have the gtx40s and just upgraded to the SL8.0 AC and oh boy! My dream treadmill! Can’t be that ! Costly but dreamy 🎉
What about a video or video series on how you would set up a quarter (10’ x 10’) or half (10’ x 20’) of a garage if you were starting with nothing? Maybe a budget, mid-tier, and ultimate setup for the average spaces most of us garage owners are working with? This would really help us visualize a layout and make purchases that will help us get the most out of a limited space.
I have the NordicTrack Commercial 1750. If you are over 250 lbs, don't buy it. I broke 3 walking decks in 6 months with consistent use. The 4th walking deck lasted about a year because I reenforced it with 1/8th inch steel bars below the walking deck. It finally cracked again this weekend and the deck is out of stock. Some sites say that they are no longer being manufactured. For a treadmill model that was released in 2019, thats pretty crappy parts availability. Currently, I have an email into Icon and a third party seller trying to find a walking deck for my now very expensive paper weight.
Thanks for the video, although for me I'm still years away from being able to even think about using a treadmill. I've lost almost 360 pounds but I'm still in the upper 400's and there's really hardly any option even at 350 pounds. For me, my treadmill is walking over 60 laps around my pool in the winter months. I always say that it has all of the boredom of walking on a treadmill, but none of the benefits. :)
Are you saying that you were over 800lbs at one point? I’m not trying to be rude, I’m legitimately shocked that it’s even possible to tell you the truth but I’m also proud that you’ve lost so much already and are on the right path
Need to do reviews of manual incline treadmills next. Seems like a great budget option if you don't plan on running. Also a good alternative to a sled.
I am so happy to stumble on your channel. I have been searching for a treadmill, going crazy with the details. Thanks , I have a few new ones to consider.
I have the OG Peloton Tread that had the big rubber tiles for the track and it’s a beast. We didn’t trade it in for the newer one when the lawsuits and stuff were going on because it felt like the original was better and we don’t have kids for it to eat. Membership fee kinda sucks but honestly I hate running and if I didn’t have the person putting me through the circuit I’d almost never use it. We also have the bike, so one membership for classes on both plus all the yoga, strength bootcamps, stretching, etc makes it feel a bit more worth the cost.
We were 5 days away a from our Tread+ delivering before the recall and we were not able to get 😡After realizing that it wasn’t going to re-release, we got the new one this past summer. That old Tread+ price looks like a steal now at $4200 compared to the $3500 price tag for the Tread. Wish we had the Tread+ like you 😢
Coop, I don't remember if you have done this yet, but I think it would be very cool to do sport/fitness/programming specific review of equipment. Examples include Olympic Weightlifting, Powerlifting, etc. Go through your picks and reviews from barbells, plates, racks, and other specific equipment/apps for that discipline. Love the content!
@@ThatPatriot you’re a treadmill service tech? My life fitness 95i has a belt and deck with 40,000 miles should I replace the belt and deck and drive motor belt? Thanks
Well my treadmill is still up and going and almost looking brand new. Let's see now, I have had to replace the motor drive belt once, and add wax under the walking belt when needed. I just used plain candle wax. It's a SCHWINN 6700.1 model. I purchased it on April 02, 1999. So if you take care of equipment, it can last a long time, such as in my case of 24 years so far.
As a frequent treadmill runner (it's too hard on my body to run outdoors/at the park), I've often equated treadmills to being "torture devices"😂Not surprising to hear the history of them included that!
Thank you so much! It’s very refreshing to find such a fair and well tested approach to treadmill reviews! I’ve sent 2 brand new Peloton Treads back to the store, because they absolutely failed to work (brand new). The PT was sleek and had everything I wanted but was a major disappointment, so I’ve been hunting for something else for my home for weeks and just came across your video review. Just subscribed to your channel! Thanks 🙏🏼
lmfao, right off the bat Coop doing exactly the first thing I would do if I had 6 treadmills in a room. I've been thinking about a cardio machine for my next home gym addition so this video is perfect timing for me, thanks!
Hey Coop, another great video and one that I believe relates to a wider audience than the more specific ones so nice job! An important treadmill issue for me is belt slippage. I alternate inside and outside running dependent on weather but have always been weary of the belt slipping when up to speed. I’ve had this happen at some commercial places, bust mostly for more home models. We bought a Sole F80 during the pandemic due to availability. Does the job but the belt needs constant adjusting and it can be very frustrating. So if you are bored a video related to slippage and difficulty with adjustments of models would be appreciated simply because they all will need some maintenance. Thanks R/ John
Coop, I appreciate the passion and research that you put into your reviews. IMO it's clear that you have set the standard for equipment reviews. Thank you.
Coop had had his RUclips channel sold out to the biggest(most deceitful)fitness equipment company in the world. He says the video is sponsored. That means he’s sold out. So don’t buy into this garbage.
So the garage warranty thing I believe is due to garages being required to have GFCI outlets in order to be up to code. Sometimes treadmills trip GFCI outlets which could cause issues.
Nordictrack 2450 comes with bigger motor and it has one of the best walking and running feel on the market, people should definitely go to a place where they can walk on these treadmills because if you get one and never have felt it, you may not like it, it maybe too firm or too soft, I put in time and found Nordictrack to be the best feeling and you want that stronger motor for longevity and smoothness, especially if you plan on running on them
Also old gyms will sell old treadmills that are commercial made and generally very nice and can be found at your local auction aswell as other gym equipment
Definitely looking for one, thi s was EXTREMELY helpful. 6ft4 and 250, need to step up my shit because I am getting older. Peloton bike and air assault are great, but need more, thank you for taking the time for these reviews
Excellent review. Can you do a video where you rate and review ONLY desk treadmills? It's cool how they can be folded and stored out of the way, but their thinness, the fact that many are made by companies we've never heard of, and the fact that some of them sell for less than $200 is a bit concerning in terms of quality. Many RUclipsrs give them good reviews, but it would be great if you could cover the topic of desk treadmills in depth too.
I gotta point out, that I have a Nordic track x 22i. It’s a great durable mammoth of a treadmill, but my Biggest gripe is that unless you choose to use Ifit, and pay for the subscription, which isn’t my cup of tea, you are paying for a massive screen, that you can only use on manual mode, and it doesn’t even have mile splits. I would not buy again. So if you are into the tech aspect… see if you like ifit before committing to such an expensive machine.
Awesome video. I am not in the market for a treadmill, and can’t imagine that I ever will be, but you’ve got me thinking about gifts for some loved ones.
Nordictrack 1750 is the one I bought based on GGR recommendation and also recommendations of friends….I love it. The iFIT programming is also excellent and compliments the treadmill very well! Only complaint is that mine squeaks a bit but I figure I could probably fix it if I really took the time to.
I have the same one and squeaks quite a bit as well. I've oiled messed with the belt so squeaks so I just put headphones on with loud music and it no longer squeaks.. follow me for more home gym hacks
I would like to see how my Proform Pro 9000 compares to these. Its the top treadmill at my local Academy store. I am used to the treadmills at Golds gym and this doesn't compare but i wonder how it compares to other home gym Treadmills in this price range of $1500. Thank you for always providing great reviews.
As a runner would have liked to hear more about the motor. It is the most expensive part and important part of the treadmill. It’s what set the quality and price of the treadmills apart, IMO. Some of the higher end models have better warranties on the motors, including some brands with lifetime warranty on the motor. I had an older model Nordic track 1750 and it was very good. Lasted well over 10,000 miles easy on original motor. One issue during warranty with motherboard which Nordic track fixed, I think they use a third party for their warranty but not totally sure. And the incline motor started to burn out in the last few years. Like any fitness equipment before you buy, know what your using it for before you buy. Like a lot of equipment you get what you pay for in quality and durability.
Love what you guys are doing! You should review more smaller companies too. I only see things from REP, Rogue, Titan. Nothing from Griffin, Irwin, BoS, etc. They’ve all been coming out with some new bangers.
On this edition of Cheech reviews: Yo, dawg, I just got dis new treadmill, and let me tell ya, it's the bomb-diggity! I mean, I ain't no runner, but dis thing is smooth as a baby's bottom. I can crank up the speed and it's like I'm flyin' down the street. And the display is off the hook, man. It's got all these different programs and settings, so I can switch it up and keep it interesting. Plus, it's got this incline feature that's like, whoa, it's like I'm climbin' a mountain or somethin'.
I LOVE my Woodway Path. The rubberized slats are ridiculously comfortable. Favorite feature is the size. It's about a foot shorter than a normal deck. Smaller size means easier to fit in a home gym, lighter means easier to move, and smaller size also means easier on the wallet...but still expensive! No extra bells and whistles, just the treadmill. My only complaint was the full-service delivery. I live in Montana and the delivery guys had no clue how to put it together and assembled it incorrectly. Not all the nuts/bolts were screwed in and a few were missing. Major safety hazard. I had to purchase the missing nuts/bolts, disassemble, and reassemble correctly. All is well now. Keep an eye on the assembly.
Great video, and very thorough. However, after watching through the entire video I have one area of critique… talking about Bluetooth connections for use with 3rd party fitness platforms. I train for triathlons, so for me I’m looking for a decent treadmill that can connect to a platform like Zwift. My understanding in my own research is some brands lock the connections to their own services, or it’s hard to find out if they are open to connect to any service. Would be nice to know!
I love that Sole doesn't utilize a training app. This lets me use my other programming (like echelon's fitpass or Wahoo or Runkeeper) on my treadmill (via my smart phone/tablet) w/o having to manage/combine multiple fitness ecosystems.
I have a Pacemaster Gold Elite VR that we bought in 2008 when I really started running. 3hp motor, 12.5 mph, 15% incline, 60” tread length…but not “futuristic” looking, or massive screens, or multiple fans. Looked basic, but felt solid when we tested it in store here in Alberta. Paid if I recall $1900 Cdn. Has “Made in the USA” written across the top, as it was built in NJ. Unfortunately, the company went bankrupt after the financial crash in the US. SEVEN years after we bought it the motor died, I called and it was still under warranty. That was eight years ago. The treadmill is a little creaky now (I blame when we moved houses, and partly took it apart to move), but still solid. Solid company, solid warranty. Now Peloton wants $4300 for their treadmill with less warranty (about $1100 more than early last year!!). And the $55 a month?? I use Peloton on my phone and it’s $17. And no where near the warranty. It’s way too bad a company like Pacemaster went under, I guess they just built them too well. Oh - and when the technician came to replace the motor I asked him what he would get for similar durability, he said Precor (which I think Peloton bought out now :-).
Would love to see the $$$$ treads vid: Woodway 4Front, Technogym Skillrun, True Stryker, etc... want to know how they compare and live vicariously through you all even though I don't have $15k+ to throw at one.
Would love to see commercial options compared, I agree it's super frustrating that commercial brands don't publish pricing, even Atlantis is the same way. I have a Woodway in my facility and it is simply sublime.
I fix and maintain fitness equipment you can get full commercial treadmill for 3500 new and I honestly would only recommend Any Matrix tread or life fitness. All these treadmills are not commercial
Why would you care about commercial equipment? They go for thousands of dollars, so much so only companies and commercial gyms can afford them. Are you a Gym owner? In that case fair enough.
Would love to see more detail on non motorized that the last video missed. More detail on Woodway Curve, TechnoGym, etc…. Otherwise - great videos. Love them! Keep it up Coop, Sam and team!
There is another solid Reebok option the FR30z which has a 4HP motor, but sadly neither of their offerings are below $1K any more, but I love the minimalist design
I have a Lifespan TR5000-DT3 treadmill desk and it's amazing. Pricey but good warranty and build quality. Also, the treadmill tracks steps and syncs it to Apple or Google apps. This is very helpful as most times a tracker won't recognize steps on a treadmill desk. Can't recommend it enough. I may but another (for home and for work). Love the review! Would have liked to have seen True or Landice treadmills. Again, pricey but high build quality and long warranties. Better options for active runners. Will last at least a decade. I've considered the Woodway 4Front but seems overkill for a consumer but the specs are unreal.
Hey what is your opinion on the 1750, 2450 and 2950 Nordictrack treadmills. I am looking at them and there isn’t much different in the price. Is there one that is significantly better than the others. I’m about 260lbs and looking for one that is going to last. Thanks Coop!
Best value is an older version of some of these that was never really used. I bought a Sole F80 with under 100 miles for less than $500 🇨🇦. Lots of aftermarket tech to make it a more interactive experience
a gave this video a thumbs up at exactly the 23 minute mark simply because my guy could have not been critical of a top brand and keep his own experience private in order for his company to get some loot from said company, but no.. Honestly goes a long way and we appreciate youtube channels that are genuine with their viewers. Not hating on peleton, but for the amount of money the company is making you'd think they would have the best customer service out there.
Coop, Id love to see reviews of different programs, I think it’s very helpful for people who workout at home. E.g: athleanX, mind pump, barbell medicine, wenning strength, Starting strength, Phil daru, Pavlov kettlebell programs, etc…

It's too bad you didn't have the tread plus to compare to the other treadmills versus their standard belt driven one, I feel the tread plus slat and ball bearing system is far superior. What really puts it over the top for me, and this includes their bike as well, is their programming. Nothing else out there that I have tried even comes close to the classes/ workouts available. I also feel like they were targeted as far as bad media about some of the very unfortunate accidents that happened. These type of terrible accidents are not unheard of and been happening for quite some time with other brands but you never seem to hear the type of media coverage you did with pelaton. I'm also not a brand loyalist fan boy. I gave up a over $9000 treadmill for something that was less than half the cost simply because it functioned and worked more to my needs.
Can definitely vouch for Sole, I sold treadmills for a few years and they were always the most reliable, built well and had good after sales service. Cannot say the same for anything nordictrack.
How long do they last? There’s an F63 that’s 10 years old for $275. I think that’s too much for a ten yr old treadmill, but what do you think? Thanks.
@@LadyGoza depends on how well it was looked after really.. If you can get a video of it running it can tell you alot. I'd imagine the belt may need adjusting and it naturally moves off center. Worth looking into though, some people don't know the value of what they've got!
@@davidsmith7855 it’s either the Sole or the 2022 Nordictrack T6.7S for $150.
@@LadyGoza says alot that a 2 year old nordictrack is that cheap. The mark ups on them are astounding.
@@davidsmith7855 she just said that she barely used it and now needed the space for her grandkids. What would you do? I’m not a runner, and my husband likes to jog. Neither of us is tall, but he is muscular.
As of the recent iFit software update there has been many cases where NordicTrack treadmills have essentially become bricks. I have contacted support regarding this and the have ordered a new console which has a 4-6 week lead time. My treadmill is 3 weeks old! I am using the NordicTrack EXP 14i. Very Similar to the C-1750 from the video. I believe the new 1750 is a bit updated from the version in the video.
I hear the same during service calls. I’d like to complete the install did for if you’re local, Here in so cal.
Same issue. I am beyond annoyed with Nordictrack. My treadmill is basically a coat rack and will be until I one day miraculously receive a new console
Sorry to hear that! I had bowflex treadmill t10. It is a nightmare! The company send out two repairmen and replaced most of the parts! Then after three months of trying to fix it, finally they replaced me a brand new one! We installed it. Within days, the software update failed and the machine started to having issues!! Until now, the machine is a joke in my house… btw, the customer care team told me : if you don’t agree with me that you are not getting refund for the machine or return the machine , I will have to end your call right now.
Good info, I have the NordicTrack 1750 for around 5 years with 5000 kilo and it's still going strong but I keep well maintained. One feature that many are Looking for is a good treadmill that has ERG Mode that is not locked with IFIT or Peloton. So we could pair the treadmill with a third party like Zwift etc like we do with bike trainers. Thanks
I have the same treadmill. Look at the runn sensor from North Pole engineering.
For clarity the Peloton Tread+ was the unit that was recalled and no longer commercially available (at least not yet). I own the Tread+ and it is light years ahead of the Tread available today. Customer Service was not great and we had to wait a few months but nearly as bad as some were dealing with during Covid.
The classes are, by far, the best on the market and that is what you are buying for. iFit is also very good but I prefer Peloton's instructors and options; Their app is solid too. I found the up front cost of Peloton extreme but over the couple of years we have had the Tread+ it has been great and the content best in class. The value proposition, for me, grew over time.
Great content Coop!
Wish they still made the Tread+😢 The slats made it soooo much better
Honestly, the Reebok one looks pretty solid. Thanks, Coop + Sam!
I stick to Reebok for home gym machines! I used to have the gtx40s and just upgraded to the SL8.0 AC and oh boy! My dream treadmill! Can’t be that ! Costly but dreamy 🎉
If you post a video of it I will def watch it
Perfect timing! I’ve been redoing my home gym and want a treadmill, I’m thinking the Sole is in the lead for me so far
What about a video or video series on how you would set up a quarter (10’ x 10’) or half (10’ x 20’) of a garage if you were starting with nothing? Maybe a budget, mid-tier, and ultimate setup for the average spaces most of us garage owners are working with? This would really help us visualize a layout and make purchases that will help us get the most out of a limited space.
Thank you for including desk treadmills. Love that touch all levels. You guys always think of everything 😂
I have the NordicTrack Commercial 1750. If you are over 250 lbs, don't buy it. I broke 3 walking decks in 6 months with consistent use. The 4th walking deck lasted about a year because I reenforced it with 1/8th inch steel bars below the walking deck. It finally cracked again this weekend and the deck is out of stock. Some sites say that they are no longer being manufactured. For a treadmill model that was released in 2019, thats pretty crappy parts availability. Currently, I have an email into Icon and a third party seller trying to find a walking deck for my now very expensive paper weight.
I like how you disclosed that this video is an advertisement. Honestly is the best policy
Best review I've heard about a product market in a long time! Excellent
Thanks for the video, although for me I'm still years away from being able to even think about using a treadmill. I've lost almost 360 pounds but I'm still in the upper 400's and there's really hardly any option even at 350 pounds. For me, my treadmill is walking over 60 laps around my pool in the winter months. I always say that it has all of the boredom of walking on a treadmill, but none of the benefits. :)
Are you saying that you were over 800lbs at one point? I’m not trying to be rude, I’m legitimately shocked that it’s even possible to tell you the truth but I’m also proud that you’ve lost so much already and are on the right path
@@michaellima7884 Yeah I was, I have videos on my channel updating my weight loss journey for the past four years if you're interested.
Huge respect, you're absolutely killing it! Keep it up!
@@BigZ7337 well done brother 👏
Need to do reviews of manual incline treadmills next. Seems like a great budget option if you don't plan on running. Also a good alternative to a sled.
I am so happy to stumble on your channel. I have been searching for a treadmill, going crazy with the details. Thanks , I have a few new ones to consider.
This is legit the most amazingly timed video. You have no idea how close I was to buying some second hand trash off a guy named randy.
BEST review I have seen in this product category by a LONG shot... excellent!!!
I have the OG Peloton Tread that had the big rubber tiles for the track and it’s a beast. We didn’t trade it in for the newer one when the lawsuits and stuff were going on because it felt like the original was better and we don’t have kids for it to eat. Membership fee kinda sucks but honestly I hate running and if I didn’t have the person putting me through the circuit I’d almost never use it. We also have the bike, so one membership for classes on both plus all the yoga, strength bootcamps, stretching, etc makes it feel a bit more worth the cost.
We were 5 days away a from our Tread+ delivering before the recall and we were not able to get 😡After realizing that it wasn’t going to re-release, we got the new one this past summer. That old Tread+ price looks like a steal now at $4200 compared to the $3500 price tag for the Tread. Wish we had the Tread+ like you 😢
Coop, I don't remember if you have done this yet, but I think it would be very cool to do sport/fitness/programming specific review of equipment. Examples include Olympic Weightlifting, Powerlifting, etc. Go through your picks and reviews from barbells, plates, racks, and other specific equipment/apps for that discipline. Love the content!
2nd
True, Life Fitness, Spirit, Star Trac blows all of these away.
Right, and Precor, I’m a service tech and laugh at these “reviews”
@@ThatPatriot same and I agree. Misleading people. We throw out those junk brands daily when installing good ones.
@@ThatPatriot you’re a treadmill service tech? My life fitness 95i has a belt and deck with 40,000 miles should I replace the belt and deck and drive motor belt? Thanks
Well my treadmill is still up and going and almost looking brand new. Let's see now, I have had to replace the motor drive belt once, and add wax under the walking belt when needed. I just used plain candle wax. It's a SCHWINN 6700.1 model. I purchased it on April 02, 1999. So if you take care of equipment, it can last a long time, such as in my case of 24 years so far.
As a frequent treadmill runner (it's too hard on my body to run outdoors/at the park), I've often equated treadmills to being "torture devices"😂Not surprising to hear the history of them included that!
Thank you so much! It’s very refreshing to find such a fair and well tested approach to treadmill reviews! I’ve sent 2 brand new Peloton Treads back to the store, because they absolutely failed to work (brand new). The PT was sleek and had everything I wanted but was a major disappointment, so I’ve been hunting for something else for my home for weeks and just came across your video review. Just subscribed to your channel! Thanks 🙏🏼
lmfao, right off the bat Coop doing exactly the first thing I would do if I had 6 treadmills in a room. I've been thinking about a cardio machine for my next home gym addition so this video is perfect timing for me, thanks!
Hi Coop.
Do you have a guide for general maintenance for gym equipment? Assault bikes, treadmills, etc…
@garargegymreviews0 go away
Coop is the GODFATHER of GARAGE GYM FITNESS!
Hey Coop, another great video and one that I believe relates to a wider audience than the more specific ones so nice job!
An important treadmill issue for me is belt slippage. I alternate inside and outside running dependent on weather but have always been weary of the belt slipping when up to speed. I’ve had this happen at some commercial places, bust mostly for more home models. We bought a Sole F80 during the pandemic due to availability. Does the job but the belt needs constant adjusting and it can be very frustrating. So if you are bored a video related to slippage and difficulty with adjustments of models would be appreciated simply because they all will need some maintenance. Thanks

Hi I’m sorry I’m not sure what a short list winner and how to respond to a telegram.
Coop, I appreciate the passion and research that you put into your reviews. IMO it's clear that you have set the standard for equipment reviews. Thank you.
Coop had had his RUclips channel sold out to the biggest(most deceitful)fitness equipment company in the world. He says the video is sponsored. That means he’s sold out. So don’t buy into this garbage.
@@champspec he only mentions ONE NordictTrack...clean the kum out your eyes and ears 🤡
Love the detail of the reviews. I am not a big treadmill guy but I watch every video from GGR
So the garage warranty thing I believe is due to garages being required to have GFCI outlets in order to be up to code. Sometimes treadmills trip GFCI outlets which could cause issues.
Nordictrack 2450 comes with bigger motor and it has one of the best walking and running feel on the market, people should definitely go to a place where they can walk on these treadmills because if you get one and never have felt it, you may not like it, it maybe too firm or too soft, I put in time and found Nordictrack to be the best feeling and you want that stronger motor for longevity and smoothness, especially if you plan on running on them
Also old gyms will sell old treadmills that are commercial made and generally very nice and can be found at your local auction aswell as other gym equipment
Definitely looking for one, thi s was EXTREMELY helpful. 6ft4 and 250, need to step up my shit because I am getting older. Peloton bike and air assault are great, but need more, thank you for taking the time for these reviews
Great reviews helped alot. searching for a treadmill to run at home these winter
Excellent review. Can you do a video where you rate and review ONLY desk treadmills? It's cool how they can be folded and stored out of the way, but their thinness, the fact that many are made by companies we've never heard of, and the fact that some of them sell for less than $200 is a bit concerning in terms of quality. Many RUclipsrs give them good reviews, but it would be great if you could cover the topic of desk treadmills in depth too.
I gotta point out, that I have a Nordic track x 22i. It’s a great durable mammoth of a treadmill, but my Biggest gripe is that unless you choose to use Ifit, and pay for the subscription, which isn’t my cup of tea, you are paying for a massive screen, that you can only use on manual mode, and it doesn’t even have mile splits. I would not buy again. So if you are into the tech aspect… see if you like ifit before committing to such an expensive machine.
Awesome video. I am not in the market for a treadmill, and can’t imagine that I ever will be, but you’ve got me thinking about gifts for some loved ones.
I have a Urevo 4-mph max walking pad, a couple of concrete bricks for 4 or 7% incline, and a box fan. I’m cheap, but it’s effective.
So much passion from you reviewing those treadmills. I simply love it!
Nordictrack 1750 is the one I bought based on GGR recommendation and also recommendations of friends….I love it. The iFIT programming is also excellent and compliments the treadmill very well!
Only complaint is that mine squeaks a bit but I figure I could probably fix it if I really took the time to.
I have the same one and squeaks quite a bit as well. I've oiled messed with the belt so squeaks so I just put headphones on with loud music and it no longer squeaks.. follow me for more home gym hacks
Have the same one too. Check the lift shock. I removed mine because I do not fold it and squeak went away. Unfortunately that was my fix.
For me the squeak was 100% the lift bar that allows treadmill to fold up and stay up. Remove the bar underneath and squeak disappears.
How is the customer service for Icon fitness? Have they gotten better since the pandemic?
I would like to see how my Proform Pro 9000 compares to these. Its the top treadmill at my local Academy store. I am used to the treadmills at Golds gym and this doesn't compare but i wonder how it compares to other home gym Treadmills in this price range of $1500. Thank you for always providing great reviews.
As a runner would have liked to hear more about the motor. It is the most expensive part and important part of the treadmill. It’s what set the quality and price of the treadmills apart, IMO. Some of the higher end models have better warranties on the motors, including some brands with lifetime warranty on the motor. I had an older model Nordic track 1750 and it was very good. Lasted well over 10,000 miles easy on original motor. One issue during warranty with motherboard which Nordic track fixed, I think they use a third party for their warranty but not totally sure. And the incline motor started to burn out in the last few years.
Like any fitness equipment before you buy, know what your using it for before you buy. Like a lot of equipment you get what you pay for in quality and durability.
Love what you guys are doing! You should review more smaller companies too. I only see things from REP, Rogue, Titan. Nothing from Griffin, Irwin, BoS, etc. They’ve all been coming out with some new bangers.
We just published videos from BridgeBuilt and StrayDog, both smaller strength equipment companies. Will work on reviews for the others you requested.
We just bought a used LifeFitness F3 like a week ago! Good timing 😅
Excellent video with such comprehensive information. Thanks!
My 520lb NordicTrak Elite Treadmill is coming with me when I move!! Love it!
They are BEASTS, but so nice to use. - Coop
I found this really really helpful
Very appreciative of the efforts going into this super informative clip.
On this edition of Cheech reviews:
Yo, dawg, I just got dis new treadmill, and let me tell ya, it's the bomb-diggity! I mean, I ain't no runner, but dis thing is smooth as a baby's bottom. I can crank up the speed and it's like I'm flyin' down the street.
And the display is off the hook, man. It's got all these different programs and settings, so I can switch it up and keep it interesting. Plus, it's got this incline feature that's like, whoa, it's like I'm climbin' a mountain or somethin'.
Impressive review. Really amazing job. Thank you!!!
Best review I seen! Will buy the Nordic track. Cheers from Sweden
We absolutely love the peloton tread.
I LOVE my Woodway Path.
The rubberized slats are ridiculously comfortable. Favorite feature is the size. It's about a foot shorter than a normal deck. Smaller size means easier to fit in a home gym, lighter means easier to move, and smaller size also means easier on the wallet...but still expensive! No extra bells and whistles, just the treadmill.
My only complaint was the full-service delivery. I live in Montana and the delivery guys had no clue how to put it together and assembled it incorrectly. Not all the nuts/bolts were screwed in and a few were missing. Major safety hazard. I had to purchase the missing nuts/bolts, disassemble, and reassemble correctly. All is well now. Keep an eye on the assembly.
Great video, and very thorough. However, after watching through the entire video I have one area of critique… talking about Bluetooth connections for use with 3rd party fitness platforms. I train for triathlons, so for me I’m looking for a decent treadmill that can connect to a platform like Zwift. My understanding in my own research is some brands lock the connections to their own services, or it’s hard to find out if they are open to connect to any service. Would be nice to know!
Best treadmill for an apartment? I do 30 minutes fasted zone 2 cardio in the morning and want something quiet. Thanks!
Great review. There are so many options out there and this helps clarify. Thanks so much. -H😀👍
I love that Sole doesn't utilize a training app. This lets me use my other programming (like echelon's fitpass or Wahoo or Runkeeper) on my treadmill (via my smart phone/tablet) w/o having to manage/combine multiple fitness ecosystems.
Thanks Coop for doing this review!
Love the OK Go call-out!
excellent video.., especially for us in weather effected areas
I have a Pacemaster Gold Elite VR that we bought in 2008 when I really started running. 3hp motor, 12.5 mph, 15% incline, 60” tread length…but not “futuristic” looking, or massive screens, or multiple fans. Looked basic, but felt solid when we tested it in store here in Alberta. Paid if I recall $1900 Cdn. Has “Made in the USA” written across the top, as it was built in NJ. Unfortunately, the company went bankrupt after the financial crash in the US. SEVEN years after we bought it the motor died, I called and it was still under warranty. That was eight years ago. The treadmill is a little creaky now (I blame when we moved houses, and partly took it apart to move), but still solid. Solid company, solid warranty. Now Peloton wants $4300 for their treadmill with less warranty (about $1100 more than early last year!!). And the $55 a month?? I use Peloton on my phone and it’s $17. And no where near the warranty. It’s way too bad a company like Pacemaster went under, I guess they just built them too well. Oh - and when the technician came to replace the motor I asked him what he would get for similar durability, he said Precor (which I think Peloton bought out now :-).
Would love to see the $$$$ treads vid: Woodway 4Front, Technogym Skillrun, True Stryker, etc... want to know how they compare and live vicariously through you all even though I don't have $15k+ to throw at one.
You should do a more in depth review of the Reebok treadmill. Looks great and low price point
Thank you for the awesome review.. I'm leaning towards the Nordictrack 1750
Would love to see commercial options compared, I agree it's super frustrating that commercial brands don't publish pricing, even Atlantis is the same way. I have a Woodway in my facility and it is simply sublime.
This is a Scam dont fall for it.
I fix and maintain fitness equipment you can get full commercial treadmill for 3500 new and I honestly would only recommend Any Matrix tread or life fitness. All these treadmills are not commercial
@@EnigmaticDreams33 I have a 95ti life fitness treadmill is that decent?
Why would you care about commercial equipment? They go for thousands of dollars, so much so only companies and commercial gyms can afford them. Are you a Gym owner? In that case fair enough.
Would love to see more detail on non motorized that the last video missed. More detail on Woodway Curve, TechnoGym, etc…. Otherwise - great videos. Love them! Keep it up Coop, Sam and team!
Love the coverage on the budget type treadmill. I’m intrigue about LifePro Pacer brand and Reebox. Thanks for sharing.
you should sell a jacket with you on it wearing your grey hoodie and that orange beanie .. it should say LUV the Coop, The coop is cool!
Hey Coop/GGR team, could you guys do a review on gym equipment for low ceiling garages/basements.
exactly what i need i think i read the horizons were a bit lower?
There is another solid Reebok option the FR30z which has a 4HP motor, but sadly neither of their offerings are below $1K any more, but I love the minimalist design
I have a Lifespan TR5000-DT3 treadmill desk and it's amazing. Pricey but good warranty and build quality. Also, the treadmill tracks steps and syncs it to Apple or Google apps. This is very helpful as most times a tracker won't recognize steps on a treadmill desk. Can't recommend it enough. I may but another (for home and for work).
Love the review! Would have liked to have seen True or Landice treadmills. Again, pricey but high build quality and long warranties. Better options for active runners. Will last at least a decade. I've considered the Woodway 4Front but seems overkill for a consumer but the specs are unreal.
Thank you this video was very informative and helped me a lot on my decision 😊glad this was a in-depth video
Hey what is your opinion on the 1750, 2450 and 2950 Nordictrack treadmills. I am looking at them and there isn’t much different in the price. Is there one that is significantly better than the others. I’m about 260lbs and looking for one that is going to last. Thanks Coop!
Hey Coop, would love to see a review on the Xterra TRX4500. It's ~1000 with some pretty nice specs.
When I heard it was $40 a month just for a lousy app interface, I made a noise like an angry veloceraptor
Best value is an older version of some of these that was never really used. I bought a Sole F80 with under 100 miles for less than $500 🇨🇦. Lots of aftermarket tech to make it a more interactive experience
I’m curious which treadmills were the quietest? Thank you!!
a gave this video a thumbs up at exactly the 23 minute mark simply because my guy could have not been critical of a top brand and keep his own experience private in order for his company to get some loot from said company, but no.. Honestly goes a long way and we appreciate youtube channels that are genuine with their viewers. Not hating on peleton, but for the amount of money the company is making you'd think they would have the best customer service out there.
Deciding between the nordictrac and the assault runner.
Coop, Id love to see reviews of different programs, I think it’s very helpful for people who workout at home. E.g: athleanX, mind pump, barbell medicine, wenning strength, Starting strength, Phil daru, Pavlov kettlebell programs, etc…
Great channel and great reviews, best of all great content
great start with the Ok Go version
What about the Bowflex treadmills? They have a higher weight capacity for up to 400 lbs.
