Success Stories
Muscle Toning Stories"Ever since I first laid eyes on the NordicTrack Incline Trainer, I knew it was the challenge for me! My goal as a figure competitor was to win my first competition and earn my pro-card. The 30% incline definitely challenged me, and the comfortable deck made the once irritating workout of running more comfortable and enjoyable. I used the incline trainer exclusively for my cardio sessions for 12 weeks to help me lose the bodyfat I needed to win! I continued to use the incline trainer for the rest of the year to help me compete in my first competitions as a WNBF Figure Pro and worked my way up the rankings from 12th to Top 5 by the end of the year! Natural Bodybuilding and Exercise magazine named me "Most Improved" for 2005. The Nordic Track Incline Trainer is my secret to fitness success!"
"I bought a Nordic Track Recumbant bike on about June 9th, 2000 and started riding it every day for 20 minutes. My family was skeptical and thought I should have bought one used to save money, I told them I wanted mine to last a long time and if anything broke I wanted to have it fixed by the warranty. When I started, I was over 300lbs at 6ft 1 inches tall; I wore size 44 jeans. I felt winded just finishing the 20 minutes with 0 resistance and barely keeping the pedals spinning fast enough to register level 1 on the speed indicator. For the first 3 months of riding I noticed no changes to my outward appearance but I had tons more energy and my appetite was lower. After 6 months I knew my pant size had come down far enough that I needed to buy a size 38. When I went to work in size 38 pants... people came up to me for weeks asking how I did it. It seemed sudden to them because they had not noticed the changes and I had kept wearing the larger size clothes. I started resistance training, other cardio and a diet program but always rode the Nordic recumbant bike at least once a week. Now I am at 210 lbs, 18% bodyfat, and size 34 waist. I am still not where I want to be, no rock hard abs here, but 10 sizes lower than where I started and about 100lbs lighter. Oh and by the way, I now ride the recumbant bike 7.00 miles in 20 minutes at the highest resistance! Hope it can inspire others to make a change for the better because it does NOT matter where you are just what path you are on."
"The biggest difference is not the pounds, it's how I feel and the firmness I feel and the tightness in my muscles. It's wonderful, I feel better, more energetic, everything's better...I've seen muscle definition I haven't seen in years and my daughter said to me 'Mom, what are you doing?' and I said, 'I'm working out on my NordicTrack'."
"It's just smooth, it just rolls, my feet just go, it just feels great...I love it! I can do something with my hands...I can get a good upper-body workout too, and I feel it in my biceps and my shoulders. I'm addicted, it's the most wonderful machine!"
"I don't have a lot of time to work out, but I love to get on the machine and work my arms and my legs and my cardio-all in one shot...I have never felt comfortable wearing a swimsuit, let alone a bikini...and since using the NordicTrack elliptical machine, boy I looked hot! I went on a cruise, and a woman on the cruise asked me how did I get my arms and my abs so strong...and I told her I used the NordicTrack elliptical machine! I've lost about two inches on my waist, I've lost three different dress sizes, I've been giving clothes away and I love the results I'm getting."

"Last year, I was told that I had fibroids, and that the size of one of the fibroids had caused my uterus to expand as if I was 10 weeks pregnant. I gained weight, and continued to add pounds, as I was told that unless I had a hysterectomy, my body would continue to swell. When I told my sister what the doctor said, she told me that she too had fibroids, but was able to control and deal with her fibroids by exercising. She encouraged me to invest in some fitness equipment and begin an exercise program. "I purchased the NordicTrack 360, and a treadmill, and I have since dropped the weight that I gained and have even toned up my body. To add to the good news, the fibroid that caused me to swell, degenerated! "I attribute this to the exercise that I was able to perform on the equipments, and I continue to use them faithfully everyday, as my health is becoming better. "Needless to say, I will not be having a hysterectomy at all. "I have been sending emails to all my friends with links to this website encouraging them to buy the NordicTrack 360, as well as the treadmill that I purchased. Keep up the good work, you guys have definitely made me so happy and healthier!!!"
