NordicTrack 5100 R Review

NordicTrack treadmills are built by Icon. The original Nordic Track company went out of business and they bought the name.

Icon sells ProForm, Reebok, Weslo, Image and more. They dominate the low end market with bulky treadmill and slick features at the sacrifice of the important components like motors, lower boards and belts. The NordicTrack is their high-end treadmills with extended warranties.
