The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 treadmill has consistently made best lists for years, and for good reason. With options to customize your workout to suit your fitness goals, modern technology, and a hydraulic folding system, this mid-priced treadmill packs a punch for a manageable cost.


It has a touchscreen display that allows you to select your workout, follow along with trainers across the globe, track your stats, and even create workouts of your own. You can pivot the touchscreen to suit your height, and even hit a decline of -3 percent. While its price tag may seem high off the bat, it’s fairly average for a high-tech treadmill, and we think it’s a great deal for what you’re getting with this machine.


Main Takeaways
  • There’s a 10” touchscreen display you can use for manual sessions, class streaming, and stat tracking. And with an iFit membership, you’ll have access to over 16,000 live and on-demand classes right in your console.
  • This treadmill can decline down to -3 percent and incline all the way up to 15 percent.
  • You can adjust the cushioning to mimic harder road running, or make your workout lower impact.

The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 has a sturdy, updated build that allows for easy transitions in your interval training and adjustable cushioning to simulate outdoor runs. The 1750 is made for the tech-loving runner, with modern additions like iFit to help make your workout session complete.









NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Treadmill Highlights
Whether you’re looking for a live class with your competition front and center on the iFit leaderboard or a solo mission featuring changes in terrain to mimic an outdoor run, the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 will keep your workouts engaging with a customizable workout plan. You can also adjust the cushioning to be firmer or softer based on your preference. If you’re prioritizing a smaller footprint, this treadmill may not be for you, but rest assured that you can fold it up, so it’s not consistently taking up a large amount of floor space.


Who Should Buy the NordicTrack Commercial 1750
  • Anyone who loves to take a live running class. This tread comes equipped with a touchscreen where you can stream live and on-demand iFit classes (over 16,000 of them).
  • Someone who’s obsessed with having all the latest technology — along with iFit, this tread has Bluetooth connectivity, incline and decline options, a pivoting display, and all the stat tracking you could need.
  • Runners looking to simulate their outdoor workout indoors will appreciate that you can adjust the cushioning on this treadmill to replicate a road running feel.
Who Shouldn’t Buy the NordicTrack Commercial 1750
  • Someone who wants a chest strap included for heart rate monitoring. You’ll have to buy one separately to use this feature on the NordicTrack Commercial 1750.
  • Buyers looking for something that doesn’t take up a lot of space. This tread is quite large and may not be great for small spaces.
Price
The newest model of the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Treadmill can typically be found for around $1,899 on the NordicTrack website, with older models of the 1750 at prices below that. However, if you’re purchasing on Amazon, that price can vary.

While that may be on the higher side of the mid-range prices, this treadmill is definitely of a higher quality to match. You’re getting updated technology and a free year of iFit classes ($396 value) with this purchase, while many treadmills of the same quality and price don’t offer similar technological value.


Overall Build and Quality
Clocking in at a sturdy 339 pounds, this machine isn’t for the faint of heart. Its features are designed for the running enthusiast who’s looking to build endurance and strength in a variety of ways. With tons of classes, programs, and customizations on the tread itself and with iFit, it’s safe to say you’ll never get bored on the NordicTrack Commercial 1750.


Features
With speeds up to 12 mph, fans with three levels of cool, Bluetooth connectivity for earbuds, and a whole lot of coaches ready to whoop your butt into shape, the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 will take your endurance, strength, and cardio to new heights. Literally — you can even run three percent downhill on this machine. Plus, the 10-inch touchscreen display makes following along to virtual classes easier than ever.


Incline range
You can take your incline down all the way to -3 percent and all the way up to 15 percent, making this machine clutch for anyone who is working on their road and trail running skills where you come across uneven terrain often.

NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Incline/Decline
The -3 percent doesn’t feel too intense — it’s just enough for you to tell the difference between running flat and on a slight decline, so you shouldn’t fear your feet getting out of control as you go down. And the Quiet Drive Incline Tech makes transitioning your inclines quiet and seamless.


Speed range
With a speed range from zero to 12 mph, the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 can handle interval training. Whether you’re just working on your speed walk or you’re gearing up for your next sibling rivalry sprint Olympics, this treadmill will have you prepped and ready to conquer.


Included workouts
The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 has 50 pre-programmed workouts in its system that require no membership fees. And as an added perk, this machine comes with a year’s iFit membership for free.

NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Touchscreen
You can have up to five users, take all the live or on-demand classes you want from their library of over 16,000 classes, and not spend a dime on it for an entire year (that’s a $396 value). The classes even include hikes at exotic destinations around the world, like Wales and New Zealand, making it difficult to get bored even when the monotony of tackling long distances on a tread sets in.


Display
You can follow along on your workout on this treadmill’s 10-inch HD touchscreen. If you’re using iFit, your coach will pop up on display here, and you can adjust the angle of the screen by tilting it back and forth until you find your perfect line of sight for class. iFit will list your stats along the top portion of the screen as you work out, and after you’re done, you’ll receive a full workout summary on-screen.


Speakers
The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 has two three-inch amplified speakers. Sync your music from your phone through Bluetooth, pop on an iFit class, or even stick your tablet on the tablet stand and stream some Netflix to get you through your workout.


Fans
This machine has two AutoBreeze Workout Fans with three levels to keep you the perfect amount of cool during a sweaty run.


Heart Rate Monitoring
The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 unfortunately does not come with a chest strap to monitor your heart rate, but you can check it periodically by placing your hands on the front bar over the EKG sensors. Since that’s difficult to do while you’re running, you can purchase a separate heart rate monitor or link your fitness tracker through the Bluetooth if you wish to use this feature.


HDMI, USB and Other Inputs
This treadmill doesn’t have any USB ports, so don’t expect to be able to charge your phone through the tread as you run. But you can listen to everything you need through Bluetooth, so having your phone across the room charging while you sync your music up to the treadmill isn’t an issue.


Bluetooth and Audio Options
The Bluetooth audio allows you to connect your music to the speakers and play it out loud through the treadmill. You can also sync your Bluetooth earbuds to the treadmill, and listen to iFit classes that way if you want to keep your early morning workouts a little more hush-hush.

It’s worth noting that if you sync your own music through the tread, it won’t display on the touchscreen, so if you want to change your song, you’ll have to do it on your device throughout your workout.


Water Bottle, Cup Holders, Tablet and Phone Holders
This tread has a ton of storage. There are two pockets on either side of the screen for water, as well as a tablet shelf just below the screen, and a storage tray under the console. It is worth noting though that if you choose to utilize the tablet shelf, the tablet may block the treadmill’s HD screen, so you should probably decide on using one or the other for your workouts. In addition, if you place a water bottle in either of the holders as you run, it jiggles around and makes quite a bit of noise (though, it won’t fall out even if you’re hitting your sprint speeds).


Product Specs
You can expect the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 to hold up for many years to come with its powerful 3.75 CHP motor, 2-ply belt, 2.5-inch rollers, and much more that make it a reliable buy. This is a quiet piece of equipment, and it responds almost immediately when you change speeds and inclines, or start/stop. You’ll definitely be getting a quality product along with the many great technologies to accompany it.


Motor Size
The 3.75 CHP DurX Commercial Plus Motor’s power allows for hardly noticeable jumps between speeds for seamless interval workouts. In addition, when you start or stop your machine, the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 responds immediately.

NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Motor
While some may appreciate this, it does make for very sudden starts and stops, which can be alarming if you aren’t used to or expecting them.


Running Area
The 22 x 60-inch running surface has ample room for runners looking for a little extra space to account for the occasional stumble but still keep you on track.


Weight Capacity
The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 can support exercising passengers that weigh up to 300 pounds.


Folding Options and Dimensions
When the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is in use, it’s 81.25 inches long x 39.25 inches wide and 71 inches high. It folds up into a V shape, so it’s definitely not a treadmill that’s going to save you a lot of space when it’s not in use, but the EasyLift Assist hydraulic lift feature and wheels make stowing it away pretty painless.


Max Speed and Incline Range
Run from a -3 percent decline to a 15 percent incline at speeds up to 12 mph. Work on terrain changes, HIIT intervals, or even take a hike on this all-access pass to conditioning and strength building work.


Electrical Requirements
This machine requires an outlet that can handle 120 volts AC and 15 amps—which in simpler terms is most basic outlets in your home.


Warranties
Your purchase comes with a 10-Year frame warranty, a 2-Year parts warranty, and a 1-Year labor warranty.


Belt Information and Roller Size
The 2.5-inch rollers and 2-ply belt are sturdy enough to handle 300-pounds and keep on rolling for many years to come.


Cushioning and Feel
The Runners Flex cushioning on this treadmill is adjustable. So if you’re looking to ease your joint struggles, you can make your workout lower impact, but if you’re training for an outdoor road race and want to build on that skillset, you can also switch to the harder surface option.


Workout Apps and Compatibility
You can include a one-year iFit membership with your purchase for a slightly higher price, so you will have access to 16,000 different workouts that are constantly updated—both live and on-demand classes, with strength, running and hiking options.

NordicTrack Commercial 1750 iFit Classes
The iFit app allows you to track your stats as you go, but you will need WiFi to run iFit. If you don’t want to pay for the iFit membership after your free year is up, you can always use another fitness app of your choosing and play it over Bluetooth on the treadmill using your tablet or phone.


Subscription Options
You will have to pay $396 a year for the family membership (which can handle up to five different users), or $180 a year for the individual membership. You can also opt for the monthly option, which is $39 a month. If you spend about $100 more when you purchase the treadmill, NordicTrack will give you a year of iFit for free to get you started.


Places to Buy
You can buy the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 on NordicTrack’s website or Amazon’s marketplace.


Company Information
NordicTrack is known for being successful with personal training at home on not only treadmills, but bikes, rowers and ellipticals as well. They offer a 30-day trial period in which you can receive a full refund if you aren’t satisfied with your treadmill purchase. You can reach their customer support by calling 1-888-308-9616.


Final Word
The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 treadmill is popular for a reason. It has a high quality build, features useful to avid runners, and plenty of tech to keep the user engaged and in the zone throughout their workout.

If you’re particularly interested in streaming iFit workouts while you run or want to test out a -3 decline on the tread that may help mimic your outdoor trail runs, this machine is a great option. And while its price may be on the higher end of the mid-range spectrum, we think the modern technology, quiet drive, and powerful motor make the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 worth every penny.


FAQs
Does the NordicTrack 1750 fold?Yes, the treadmill does fold up, but that doesn’t mean it won’t still take up space. It rests in a V-shape when folded, so though it is smaller than when it’s laying flat for use, it will still take up a good portion of whichever room you choose to put it in. We wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for something for a small studio space.


Can you watch TV on NordicTrack 1750?Though you can’t watch TV shows on your treadmill itself, you can use the tablet shelf for a tablet and stream TV shows on there while you sync the sound from your tablet to the treadmill’s Bluetooth system.


Can you use NordicTrack without iFit?In short, yes. Though for the first year, you should totally use iFit since you get the membership for free. But if you choose to skip the membership renewal after your first year, there are 50 pre-programmed classes on the NordicTrack Commercial 1750. Or, you could even use a different fitness app of your choice and sync the audio to the treadmill’s Bluetooth while you view the class on your phone or tablet.
