NordicTrack Commercial 1250 Treadmill – Review

In the last few years, the NordicTrack Commercial series of treadmills have gotten a makeover. The 1250 had been discontinued, but it is back once more, this time with a sleek redesign and with a reasonable price tag. One of the best things about the NordicTrack Commercial series is that it delivers value for money and the same applies to the 1250. The new version of the NordicTrack Commercial 1250 is equipped with a ton of features and a number of them are specs that you will find in some of the best treadmills in the market.

The design and details

A minimalist Z-shape design can be found on all treadmills in the Commercial series, which means no crossbar is required between the upright stabilizers. Steel had been used for making the uprights, so the console has a stable base and the handrail has been coated in rubber to prevent slipping.

Not only does the 1250 looks good, but the treadmill performs the same. Even when you are running at high speed, there is no shaking or negative feedback. The transition from incline to decline is also smooth. The 10-inch HD touchscreen display is also responsive, but if you are used to a bigger screen, then it might take some time to get used to it.

Footprint and portability

The NordicTrack Commercial 1250 treadmill measures 6 feet in length and is 3 feet wide. Plus, with a height of 5 feet, its footprint is sizable to say the least. The treadmill weighs 280 pounds, which means it is heavy and will need a dedicated space. But, the most important feature is that it is foldable, so you do not have to set aside space for it permanently. The folding process is extremely simple because of the signature EasyLiftAccess from NordicTrack that has built-in hydraulics.

Durability and construction

NordicTrack treadmills are known for holding up for a long time in terms of durability. Even if the Commercial series has not been designed for intensive commercial use, there is no doubt that they are solid machines for home use. The Commercial 1250 is the same and has a weight capacity of more than 300 pounds. In addition, it also comes with a powerful 3.0 CHP motor that allow you to power through the sprints, decline training and incline intervals easily. A 10-year warranty for its frame is offered by NordicTrack.

Other features

There are a number of other features of the Commercial 1250 treadmill that add value. First off, the 10-inch touchscreen can tilt and pivot, which means you can adjust the screen at an angle that suits you. It also comes with iFIT programming and this gives you a vast library of workouts to explore. You are not just limited to treadmill workouts and can access others too. There is heart rate tracking available and both incline and decline options.
