"Packed with Excellent Features"

The NordicTrack Commercial ZS treadmill is a monster of a machine usually selling at a budget price.

NordicTrack changes prices regularly, and when selling at significant discount the Commercial ZS is a very good value. It's knowing what is a good value, and fortunately I watch their prices daily and alert my readers to the best value in the mix.

Features on the NordicTrack Commercial ZS Treadmill...

Note: As of 7/29/10 the NordicTrack Commercial TS treadmill was selling for $999 with shipping. They dropped the price $100. Go to www.NordicTrack.com for the latest price.

Premium Sound System with Plug-in Port - This is one of the best sound systems you will find on any treadmill, and it also includes a subwoofer. It is set up to plug-in your iPod and listen to your favorite tunes.

20" x 60" Treadbelt - Most treadmills come with a 54" long belt. The extra 6" on the NordicTrack Commercial ZS belt can really make a difference. It is ideal for tall individuals and people who like to sprint or interval train.

3.0 Continuous Duty HP Motor - This motor has a good service record. In fact, I've never heard of one breaking down. It is good for joggers and runners and should perform well at higher speeds and steep inclines.

Warranty - The warranty is average at best (12 years motor, 1-year parts and labor). And the reason it isn't better is the company want's to upsell you on an extended warranty, which may be a good idea.

2.5" Rollers - These are decent size rollers considering the price of the treadmill. Typically with rollers the bigger the better. It will extend the life of the belt, motor, bearings and the rollers.

28 Personal Training Programs - You get a generous selection of training programs. You can choose between aerobic, weight-loss or performance workouts. You also get 4 create and save.

Built-in Fan - To add a fan to the console of a treadmill is not a huge expense, but it is one of the more popular items on treadmills. Designed to target and cool down your core.

Our Review - NordicTrack Commercial ZS Treadmill

When selling for $1,099, the NordicTrack Commercial ZS is a good value. This is a solid machine for jogging and walking. The 28 personal trainer programs offer a variety of challenges. And playing tunes on the sound system can help to pass the time as you are burning calories and getting in shape.

You are not going to find a treadmill that has comparable specs at this price, except for maybe ProForm, which is built by the same company. .
