Comments

• The Nordictrack T 8.0 is a potential solid contender but there are a few clouds hanging over it. For one, the product listing does not show how many programs it comes with, only that it's iFit Live compatible which means you potentially have to shell extra money to make your workouts less boring. Additionally, the warranty is standard but not impressive which is kind of disappointing considering that with a 350 lb weight capacity, it should have come with a slightly longer warranty. But with that having been said, at a potential sale price of $999 or even $799 when it's on sale, the Nordictrack T8.0 may be standard but it's a solid piece of machinery that won't break the bank. Worth taking a second look at once it's discounted.

Stay on the right track and don’t move away from your training zone with the NordicTrack® T 8.0 treadmill. It is designed to ensure comfort and protection while using it in your training.

Built to last, the solid frame of this treadmill is powered by 3.0 CHP DurX™ Commercial Pro Motor.

With the 20" x 60" Commercial-Grade Treadbelt, there is a wide room for you to shift around while training. Different stride length can be accommodated along with a maximum weight capacity of up to 350 lbs.

What more can you ask? The NordicTrack® T 8.0 treadmill is equipped with two heart rate monitoring system.
