NordicTrack is probably one of the most recognizable brand names in exercise equipment, and the commercial series helps cement the company’s reputation for making excellent workout machinery. If you want a gym-quality treadmill at home, the Commercial Series treadmill comes in a few different models: 1750, 2450, and 2950. The higher-number models have better specs, like a larger screen and motor.

The 1750 model has a 10-inch touchscreen. The 2950 model’s 22-inch smart HD touchscreen is huge. The treadmills include iFit workouts, which allow you to stream studio workouts as you run, with personal iFit trainers offering motivation and guidance and empowering you to get to the end of your workout.

You can run anywhere in the world, with workout experiences that will show you New Zealand’s mountains or the streets of Paris. You can significantly increase your calorie burn by taking advantage of the machine’s incline of up to 15% and decline of 3%, which will help immerse you in the experience.
