Discover the Power of the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Treadmill

Let’s talk about the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 – a beast of a treadmill built like a tank. If you’re serious about running, this machine won’t disappoint. Its backbone is a heavy-duty steel frame that can take whatever punishment your workouts dish out. You have a rock-solid foundation with two beefy front supports that won’t wobble or shake, even when you go all out.

Now, it’s not all metal – NordicTrack smartly uses some heavy-duty plastic parts, too. But don’t worry, these aren’t cheap add-ons. They’re there to keep you safe and comfortable. The rubberized side rails help prevent slip-ups, and protective covers protect dust from the essential bits inside. Think of it as armor for your treadmill’s vital organs.

The control center is also pretty sweet. Everything is right where you need it, with a sleek dashboard holding your screen and controls. They’ve even thrown in a handy tray between the front support— – perfect for your water bottle, phone, or whatever else keeps you going during those long runs.

Fair warning: this isn’t some lightweight piece of equipment you can toss around. At 311.5 pounds (that’s 141.3 kilograms), it’s a heavyweight champion. While that weight makes it super stable when running, you’ll want to phone a friend (or two) when it’s time to set it up. The good news? Once assembled, you can still move it around thanks to some clever transport wheels on the front.

Size-wise, you’ll need to clear some space in your home gym. The footprint is pretty substantial— – 77.3 inches long by 37 inches wide (or 196.3 by 94 centimeters if you’re metric-minded). Here’s a pro tip: Give yourself at least two feet of breathing room on each side and three feet behind it. Trust me, you’ll appreciate that extra space when hopping on and off or hitting your stride during an intense workout.

Let’s Talk About That Deck

Have you ever tried to vacuum under a treadmill? Usually, it’s a nightmare, right? Well, here’s where the NordicTrack 1750 gets clever. The whole deck folds up, not in that scary “might crash down any second” way. There’s a smooth hydraulic system that helps it fold and unfold like a dream.

NordicTrack built this thing like a tank. The deck can handle up to 400 pounds—that’s two adult pandas if you’re wondering. The belt isn’t your typical treadmill belt, either. It has multiple layers and a rubberized top that keeps you steady even when you’re pushing your limits.

Now, let’s geek out about the rollers for a second. They’re 2.5 inches in diameter (pretty beefy!) and have this clever crowned design that helps the belt last longer. These sealed ball bearings make everything run smoother than butter on a hot pan.

Here’s something extraordinary about the running surface – it’s 60 inches long and 22 inches wide. In human terms? That means if you’re up to 6’5″, you can run without feeling tiptoeing on a tightrope. There is plenty of room to hit your stride!

But the real magic happens in the cushioning system. They call it Runners Flex™, and it’s pretty neat. This dial on the left side of the deck lets you choose your running experience. Want to feel like you’re running on clouds? Crank up the cushioning. Training for a road race? Switch to the firmer setting. The innovative design even varies the firmness along the deck – softer at the front where your foot lands (your knees will thank you) and firmer at the back to help push you forward.

Let’s Talk About the 1750’s Incline Features (and Why Height Matters)

Have you ever wondered how the NordicTrack 1750 handles hills? This smart treadmill has a neat motorized system that lets you mix up your workout with inclines and declines. You don’t have to stop running or walking to adjust it either – tap a button on the console and watch the magic happen. If you’re following one of the built-in workout programs, the treadmill will adjust the slope automatically for you.

Want to know the specifics? The 1750 gives you plenty of options to play with. You can climb through 12 different incline levels (from flat ground up to a challenging 12% grade) or take it downhill with three decline settings (dropping as low as -3%). Each click changes the angle by 1%, so you can fine-tune your workout exactly how you like it. There are quick-adjust buttons on the left side of the display for when you need a fast change, plus a more precise control pad at the bottom for those minor tweaks.

Before you bring one home, consider this: the deck is about 10 inches (25.4 cm) off the ground. Remember, the front end will rise even higher when you use that incline. Pro tip: make sure your ceiling is at least 20 inches (51 cm) taller than you are—trust me, the last thing you want is to bonk your head during an intense running session!

Drive Motor

Meet the NordicTrack Commercial 1750’s powerhouse: its 4.25 CHP DurX™ Commercial Plus motor. This motor isn’t just about strength; it’s also brilliant. Thanks to its internal cooling system, it stays cool even during the most extended workouts, ensuring consistent, top-notch performance.

Say goodbye to annoying vibrations. This motor has a small flywheel that keeps the tread belt movement smooth and steady. It’s like running on clouds!

Need to change your pace? This bad boy’s speed range is from a gentle 0.5 MPH to a swift 12 MPH. The handy buttons on the right side of the console make it easy to adjust your speed. With a simple tap, you can gradually tweak your speed from 0 to 12.

The speed controls are super versatile. A single press adjusts your speed by 0.1 MPH—perfect for finding that sweet spot. Hold the button down, and you’ll jump by 0.5 MPH, ideal for those quick changes mid-run.

One of the best parts? The motor’s pretty quiet, so while you’ll hear your footsteps, it won’t be a total racket. Remember, if you’re in an apartment, your downstairs neighbors might listen to your workout sessions.

To power this treadmill, you’ll need a standard 120V circuit. It has an American-style power cord, so an AC adapter is unnecessary. The connector is at the front of the deck, right next to the on/off switch.

1750 Console

When you hop on the 1750, a slick 16-inch HD touchscreen with iFit, NordicTrack’s interactive training program, will greet you. Thanks to its seamless integration with Google Maps, you can jog through the Rockies or stroll along sandy beaches from the comfort of your home.

iFit offers a treasure trove of classes and top-notch instructors who can easily rival the famed Peloton crew. You’ll get all the details, such as workout duration, estimated calorie burn, and an effort scale that tells you how hard you’ll need to work.

Feeling creative? The Workout Creator is your playground. Customize your workouts by setting intervals, time, speed, and incline. Hit that Start button, and watch your treadmill do the magic. You can sketch your route, set distance goals, and tweak the calorie burn target.

One of the most remarkable features that wowed me is NordicTrack’s AutoAdjust technology. With an iFit virtual instructor at the helm, your incline, decline, and speed automatically adjust during class. Whether traversing a jungle or ambling through a cityscape, your treadmill adapts to mimic the terrain.

And yep, this treadmill can decline! To truly capture the essence of outdoor running, you gotta have both inclines and declines. Declining running offers a unique way to build leg strength that flat or uphill runs can’t match.

Lastly, you don’t need an iFit subscription to use the 1750, although there are only a handful of free iFit workouts. If you’re not planning on subscribing, it might be worth checking out other treadmill options.

Amenities

You can connect your MP3 player or smartphone via Bluetooth to the console to play music through the speakers or use a Bluetooth HR chest strap to monitor your pulse. Unfortunately, unlike other units, the 1750 does not have built-in handlebar sensors, but iFit syncs with ActivePulse.

ActivePulse technology comes with the machine and iFit, but NordicTrack sells the SmartBeat armband separately or often gives it away for free as a promotion. What I like about ActivePulse technology is that the program can monitor your heart rate and adjust and even override the resistance of the automatic trainer control.

So, if I’m on an iFit run and the program has me moving up to a 9% incline and a speed of 5mph, but my heart rate is too high, the little ActivePulse icon on the screen will alert me and communicate the new plan, which you can adjust again if your heart rate goes down.

The console also has the AutoBreeze fan that changes intensity to match the workout, two water bottle holders, two – 2″ (5.1 cm) speakers with premium audio quality, Bluetooth headphone and heart rate monitor connectivity, and a USB-C charging port.

To save your stats and entertainment, iFit syncs with Strava, Apple Health, Google Fit, and Garmin Connect; Amazon Prime, Spotify, and Netflix integration.
