NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Treadmill Review
The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 (C1750) is the highest-rated treadmill the manufacturer produces, which is saying quite a bit since the C1250 is also a top-rated piece of exercise equipment.
The major difference between the C1250 and C1750 is that the latter features more workout programs and negative incline (C1250 only features range 0-15% incline).
The -3% incline on the NordicTrack C1750 may seem insignificant but it actually increases the degree of difficult two-fold and is an impressive concept.

Update: We have recently been hearing complaints about the Android technology malfunctioning, which causes the machine to stop working. Users are also saying that NordicTrack is taking 4-6 weeks to fix the problem.
We plan to update our rating to reflect these issues, but in the mean time we would recommend taking a look at our comparison of the top 5 treadmills in this price range.

Introduction
What can you say about the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 treadmill that is not likeable?
The C1750 honestly is one of the best deals on the market as you get a 3.5 CHP motor, 20″ x 60″ running surface, highly durable frame and 36 pre-defined workout programs.
The treadmill also is equipped with iFit Live, iPod dock, built-in speakers and 7″ touch screen display.
It’s ridiculous to imagine a treadmill with this much for only $1,500.
Workout Programs
Get the results you want with 36 built-in workouts (6 more than available in 2011) designed by a Certified Personal Trainer. Users may select from ten All-Terrain Workouts or twenty Quick Calorie Workouts that automatically adjust your speed and incline to match your workout goals.
Additionally, the NordicTrack C1750 not only supports iFit Live, but is already packaged with the program meaning that you’ll not need to purchase any other accessories.
Simply join the membership and get instant access to workout programs from Jillian Michaels as well as access to Google Maps.
Lastly, the NordicTrack C1750 also makes workout customization a breeze because the Set-a-Goal Workout Center provides all the assistance necessary to maximize your exercise routines.
Treadmill Features
The NordicTrack C1750 is loaded with a plethora of sweet toys such as iFit Live (mentioned above), compatibility with iPod/mp3 as well as the built-in Intermix Acoustic 3.0 speakers.
Despite all of the above, the most useful feature is the 7″ full color touch screen display.
Thanks to the touch screen, navigating through iFit Live workout stats and options have never been easier. Quickly view your speed, time, distance, calories burned, pulse and incline on the large, easy-to-read display.
In terms of general specs needed to power the machine, consumers will be more than pleased with the sturdy 3.5 CHP Durx commercial-grade motor, spacious 20″ x 60″ running surface and lifetime guarantee on frame, deck and motor.
Warranty & Guarantee
The NordicTrack C1750 treadmill warranty and guarantee includes:
- Frame: Lifetime
- Deck: Lifetime
- Motor: Lifetime
- Parts & Electronics: 5 Years
- Labor: 2 years (in-home)
NordicTrack has a 30-day money back guarantee on all exercise equipment. Dial 1-866-896-9777 for questions and concerns.
Conclusion
No questions asked, the NordicTrack C1750 is easily one of the best treadmills on the market.
We pride ourselves on being tough critics and the fact that we could barely find anything wrong with the C1750 (aside from some customer dissatisfaction about the Android technology) just goes to show how good of a treadmill it really is.
Purchase with confidence.







Hi! I'm

We were very please with this unit when it arrived, looks very sharp and the display is great.
The new smell hasn’t even worn off and we are already starting to see problems. The entire unit is completely dependent on the on board computer (running Android OS), it gives it some great features but it can just as easily cause problems. Our’s is quite often completely unusable, even in manual mode, because the computer is locked up.
Service is very difficult to deal with and requires very a long (30-45 minutes) wait on hold. This has been the result for several calls, not just a random call during their peak time.
I did a fair amount of research on this treadmill before I bought and found plenty of good reviews. However now that the product has been out for a little while when I look at the reviews again, I see that many people are having problems with them. Most of the positive reviews are based on initial use. I can’t recall a positive review that indicated it had been used for any length of time.
Everyone seems to agree that you get a lot of features for a low price. I think it is safe to say now that durability/quality is not part of the package.
Hi Skip,
Wow, thanks for bringing that to our attention! We really appreciate the feedback.
Sorry their support hasn’t been very helpful too. We have seen that with other customers (persistence is key unfortunately), but we didn’t know about the computer issues.
For anyone considering the 1750 that’s worried about this problem, check out our comparison of the top Treadmills in the $1,000 – $1,500 price range.
There are quite a few other models to choose from that do not rely on a computer with the Android OS, like the Sole F80.
Thanks again for helping us all out Skip!

Kyle,
We recently received the Nordic track 1750 as a replacement for an obsolete Nordic track elite 2900. Initially the machine looks and runs great.
My question is this.
On our old machine you could easily set up two distinct user profiles. You could start a manual workout as either user 1 or user 2 and the machine would track your progress according to your personal weight and stats. You did not have to enter your weight and stats each time.
Have you received any information on how to do this on this machine without ifit live?
My wife likes ifit live, but it is not really my thing. I just want to jump on the machine as user 1, start a manual workout and have it track my calories and such without entering my weight each time.
Any information would be appreciated.
The manual does not mention anything about profiles or users other than the ifit live stuff.
If there is not this capability, I would say that families without the internet or who simply don’t want to interact with ifit live should give this treadmill a miss.
Thanks,
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the comment! You’re right:
iFit Live is the new way they handle profiles, so we can’t use the traditional method, and I agree that it would be nice to have a faster/simpler low-tech option as well.
Sometimes new and improved technology can get in the way of simplicity, and this is a good example.
That said, once you get used to it, iFit is a very cool concept, and can be a useful tool for increasing the intensity, duration and motivation of your workouts.
Have a good day Jeff,
Kyle
Skip,
Just checked out a Nordic Track C1750 at Sears, the price on line is 1398.00, however there was a problem, they couldn’t get it to work.
The computer was locked up, didn’t realize it this morning but after reading several posts, that surely was the issue.
Going with the Sole 80 or 85. Hope this helps….
Al
Thanks for the feedback Al. We appreciate it!
The C1750 is a fantastic machine, but the Android OS seems to randomly cause problems, so we’re running the 2012 model through our rating algorithm to reflect these new issues.
As for the Sole F85, I’ve been using it heavily for almost a year and it’s never had any issues.
