Product Summary
The NordicTrack Commercial 2950 treadmill is a high-end treadmill with a 22-inch HD touch screen for streaming workouts. The 2950 has both decline and incline abilities from -3% to 15% to simulate running hills. The tread belt is 22 inches by 60 inches, accommodating larger and taller runners. The belt also has what NordicTrack Calls “runners flex” cushioning to decrease impact and an autobreeze workout fan for comfort. The 2950 also folds up, with EasyLift assist, to decrease its footprint for storage.
The 2950 uses its 22-inch screen to stream interactive iFIT workouts. iFIT is a subscription service with more than 16,000 classes and 60 types of workouts. When used with a 2950 treadmill, you can participate in a variety of global runs through scenic locations or studio classes. iFIT classes also have automatic trainer controls allowing your trainer to adjust the incline, decline, and speed so you can focus on your run. You can also manually adjust these settings if you’d prefer.
The 2950 treadmill has mixed reviews from users. They loved the incline and decline ability, especially when paired with automatic trainer controls. They also shared that the treadmill feels sturdy and high quality. Customers stated that the treadmill was heavy and assembly was time consuming and required assistance. They recommended purchasing delivery and installation if possible.
Many customers had issues with the 2950 failing after weeks of use, even with professional assembly. The issues included the belt stopping, a loud clanking noise when using the incline and treadmill stopping after 25-30 minutes into a workout. Some users even had the treadmill arrive defective and never work.
