"I had a heart attack on Jan 8 2004 at age 31(316 lbs) the doctors told me many times to lose weight even suggesting bypass surgery, I never tried to lose any weight until July of 2007, after my 3 year old son encouraged me to lose weight, on December 13, 2007 I went to the heart doctor got a clean bill of health and my weight was 220 lbs. I had walked on an old nordic treadmill until this month when my wife and I bought a c2155 model thanks nordic track ps... my wife has lost 50 plus pounds......."
"On my 35th birthday I was 5 foot 5 inches and weighed 162. A former dancer, runner, and cheerleader, I'd always weighed around 115-120. On the day of my birthday, I got test results in the mail saying my blood glucose was high, which really woke me up. I read on this site about a woman who'd lost 20 pounds in a month by using her treadmill twice a day five days a week. I had my doubts that it would work for me. But I was intrigued because I'd been trying to drop weight since the first year I was married and instead I was gaining weight. So I bought the NordicTrack Elite 2900 Treadmill. I ran on it at least 4-5 times a week, ate a healthy diet, and did the occasional weight or yoga workout. I'd set it to 5 mph at a 3-5 % incline and just go. It wasn't anything drastic, but sure enough, I've lost 17 pounds in four weeks. That's 10 percent of my total body weight. I credit most of that to the NordicTrack. It's so easy to just hop on it for 10, 20, or even 30 minutes when you have the time. I even do it at 10 at night if I can't get it in during the day. I can watch TV while I workout, which is great. I wasn't really enjoying running in our neighborhood, and I hate the gym. NordicTrack is the perfect workout for me. I love it. My husband also loves it. I have no doubt I'll be back to my ideal weight in the next month or so."
"hi, i lost 30 lbs. just in time for Easter. We are taking a trip to Florida and i'll be able to take off my shirt this year. thanks so much!"
"I purchesed a Nordictrack Treadmill and I have lost 50lbs by eating right and using the treadmill. It is a great machine to own. I tell everyone who talks about working out that owning your own treadmill is the way to go. Thanks for making such a good quality product."
"I have always wanted a NordicTrack skier. My friend had one that she was not using and to make a long story short it's now mine. I have been using the skier since September and have lost 20 lbs and I am now the same size I was before having my three children. I love this machine. I use it 6 days a week for 25 mins. I am still seeing results! This is the best machine out there for me and I have tried a lot of them. Thank you NordicTrack!"

"To Whom it may concern: Hello my name is Dan Hughes, I weighed 271 lbs. prior to purchasing your Nordic Track Treadmill C 2200. After trying numerous diets plans nothing worked for me till I purchased the your product. At first, I struggled with the level 1 plan which I performed every other day. I remember the pain from my knees, being out of breath and the feeling that I couldn't do it anymore. It took me about six weeks to break into the next level at that time I dropped 20 lbs. I was very pleased to see that something worked, that's all I needed. I continued my course exercising every other day and before I knew it none of my clothes fit properly, and I was beyond level 4. I went from a waist size 38 to 31. To make a long story short I was able to walk off over 96 lbs in less than a year. Now that I weigh 175 lbs, I feel better about myself and the accomplishment of losing that type of weight without any help from some miracle diet pill or having my stomach stapled. It's a great feeling to be able to bend over without being out of breath from lacing your shoes to washing your car. I feel very healthy and youthful again. My treadmill's odometer reads over 450 miles, Thank you Nordic Track for helping me obtain something I thought that was out of reach! My wife Cheryl convinced me to tell my story to you. Best Regards, Dan Hughes Palm Bay, FL "
"Bought an Audio Strider last Jan. 15 and I weighted 265 pounds know i weight 200."
"May 1, 2007 I started my weight loss journey. When the scale said 430 pounds and could have went higher, it was a real eye opener. I started WW and began to lose weight. As the weight came off I needed to get active. I purchased the Elite 1300 Eliptical and the Elite Treadmill. I have used both pieces of equipment 6 days a week since purchasing them. I use the treadmill 4 days a week for 60 minutes and the eliptical 2 days a week for 60 minutes. They are both amazing and provide a great workout. I am happy to say that I am now at 290 Lbs and still losing at a nice rate. Down 140 plus lbs thanks to the help of my Nordic Track equipment!"
"I got the Apex 4500 around December last year, it sat in my room until the end of May this year when i finally decided I had had enough of being overweight and got motivated. I run 4-5 miles 5 days a week and i have lost 75 pounds and gone from a size 18 to a size 7/8. i can't say enough about the reflex treadmill - it is amazing and i just love this treadmill!"
"I purchased an elliptical audiostrider 800 almost one year ago. I've lost over 25 pounds, I lost six inches in my waist, and I went down 3 sizes in my jeans. I've never felt better, it was worth every penny. I highly recommend purchasing an elliptical for your home. I can work out any time of day, any length of time, no gym fees, no shared locker rooms. Just the absolute freedom to design a workout to fit my lifestyle...GO FOR IT!!!!"

"I weighed 310 pounds in October of 2005 when we moved from Alabama to Tennessee. I was diagnosed with early stage diabetes not long after moving here. I decided to get into shape and bought my NordicTrack CX938 from Sears. After 10 months I weighed 160 pounds and have tested normal, no diabetes, for over a year now. My Doctor tells me I have cured my diabetes, I no longer take Lipitor for high Cholesterol anymore. I feel great, I sleep better, I don't get sick at all anymore and I own it all to my NordicTrack. I have a great side by side picture of me in Oct. 2005 and Oct. 2007 that really shows the change and I would be happy to send it to you. In fact, I would love to be a spokesman for NordicTrack if you think my transformation would be a good advertisement for you. Anyone I can inspire to get a NordicTrack and get into shape like I have would be great. Please contact me if you are interested in seeing my pictures and speaking to me. Mike Stansbery."
"I came to a point in my life last year where I knew I must loose some weight and get in better shape. I was actually looking for a treadmill, but instead decided on a Ski Machine. I like skiing, and need something low impact. Well, within a year I lost better than 65 pounds. I'm back to my high school weight, and people are calling me skinny. The ski machine really works, burns calories, all in just a 20-minute workout. I hope to wear this machine out, if that's possible. Thank-you "
"20 lbs in 24 hours using the Nordic Track Pro! It's true! Of course it took 48 days to get my 24 hours of time in on the machine... (you knew there had to be a catch!) (c: I've currently gone 450 miles in 95 days (~50 hours of on machine time), going from 230 pounds down to 199 pounds losing over 1/2 pound per hour, or roughly 1 pound every 14.5 miles. Thank you for your commitment to user health, wellness and safety. Feeling better all the time!"
"I was diagnosed with diabetes in May of 2005. The doctor told me I needed to loose weight or I would have many more problems. I took this very seriously. I went to Sears and bought a Nordictrack 938 and determind I would use it every night. I was 270 pounds the day the unit arrived at my home. Today, 9 months later I weigh 170 pounds and I look great and feel great. I have trained with my Nordictrack every night since I bought it, steadily going up in resistance and calories burned. I am currently at 2200 calories burned every night and that takes 90 minutes on resistance level 7. I love my Nordictrack. It has given me my life back and made me happier than I thought I could be about my body."
"I lost close to 100 lbs. in 9 months by using the NordicTrack elliptical. I went from a size 20 to a size 8. I have a whole new outlook on life now. I have much more energy and the want to do more things. My husband and my kids repeatedly tell me I look pretty. People look at me differently. It feels great and I owe it all to the NordicTrack elliptical."
"I started my workout program in October on a Nordic Track treadmill that I have had for 5 or 6 years (but have not used).I am 5ft 3" and weighed around 193-195 lbs.I was doing very well on my treadmill getting good results, when my husband decided we needed an eliptical.I was not interested but he was. We got an AudioStrider 800 in Jan and it took me sometime to decide I wanted to use it.Now I am addicted to it! I would recommend it to anyone looking for exercise equipment.I am down to 154lbs and am still trying to loose about 15 more pounds.I give all my success to my eliptical"

"My husband bought me a NordicTrack ski machine about 11 years ago. I still use it faithfully. Whenever I notice pounds creeping up I hit it a bit harder and BAM they come off. It helped lose 40 pounds I gained with both of my pregnancies. NordicTrack is the best!"
"My husband and I purchased a used NordicTrack about 7 years ago and have used it 5-10 times a week over that course of time. We used it as our main, if not sole, source of aerobic activity and it helped me lose over 100 lbs! Just two weeks ago, our much loved NordicTrack literally fell apart while my husband was using it. You could say we ran it in to the ground. :) We're on the search for something new and I'm excited to see the variety of products available your site. Thanks for a great product!"
"I'm a 32 year old stay at home wife and mother. I used to work a full time job that required me to be extremely active for long periods at a time. And it kept me very slim and fit. After the change in life style I began to put on weight very fast and before I knew it I had gone from 102lb to 158lb and I was very tired all the time and I hated the way that I looked. I began trying to lose the weight. I tried many kinds of exercise and diet and all kinds of diet pills and magic potions but I had little to no success. I recently purchased a NordicTrack treadmill. And in just 1 month of using it 2 times a day for 30 min each time 5 days a week along with the I-FIT program I am now 129 lb. That is a weight loss of 29 lb . This machine offers me a wonderful aerobic workout in the comfort of my home that really works for me. I would tell any one about this machine ..... thank you NordicTrack!!!!!!"
"It's been one year and I still look back to the day, August 14th 2005 when I decided that my 315lbs. body was in dire need of help. I set out to gradually loose weight and figured anything was better then what I was doing at the time, which was nothing. Well, with the help of a NordicTrack C-1900 Treadmill I started down a road that has lead to a new life and a new outlook on life for me and my family. Since my first day on the treadmill, and the addition of a NordicTrack CX 998 Elliptical machine I have lost a total of 105 lbs. in a year. I never thought I'd get to this point but having the right equipment and changing my lifestyle has made the difference."
"A little over a year ago I had decided I was getting way out of shape, and decided I didn't like what I was seeing. As a 37 year old man I could feel my stamina slipping as well as having some arthritis starting up in my arm. I already had a Nordic Track Pro model ski machine that I hadn't used in a long time. I have now changed my eating habits some, and have faithfully hit the Nordic Track 5-6 nights a week. In the last year I have lost 60 pounds, the arthritis I had in my right elbow that had gotten so bad that at times I could hardly move my arm has since disappeared, and I'm a lot happier at who I'm looking at in the mirror. It's amazing how much better you feel, and how much better you feel ABOUT yourself when you stay committed and make this kind of change."

"I lost 80 pounds on the elliptical trainer and have had my weight loss story and photos published in the magazine "Looking Good Now!", May issue, 2006 pgs. 72,78&79 where my use of the elliptical is mentioned. Before I did the exercise and diet my cholesterol was a dangerous 540 but within a few months it was down to normal. The elliptical machine helped me lose the weight and tone up my body. My knee problems prevented me from doing other hard impact exercises but the elliptical trainer was the best thing I could do. It toned my entire body, not just my legs. I am 58 years old but look much younger, and I feel that a lot of the reason is because I am fit. If you would like to see the before and after photos or read my story, let me know, or even better, check out the May 2006 issue of Looking Good Now! magazine. All of my friends want to know exactly what I did to look so good."
"I lost 25 pounds in 2 months using the Nordic Track Pro and making slight adjustments to my diet. Your equipment is sensational!!" "I am 56 years old and have tried all combinations of diet and exercise. FINALLY, a combination that really has worked for my wife and I. One, a computer program that tracks our eating, calories, nutritional content and exercise, and 2 -- our Nordic Track Elliptical -- I have lost 55 pounds in 5 months, and my wife over 35 pounds. The Elliptical does not hurt our arthritic hips and knees!"
"I just turned 50 in November. I am 5'10". I weighed 250 lbs. I shattered my right knee when I was 17. It had deteriated over the years. I had trouble losing weight because I couldn't do anything with impact on my knees. I purchased my eliptacle in the middle of March. As of Sunday, the 8th, I have lost 30 lbs. I hope to lose another 20-25 lbs. I love the machine. It doesn't irritate my knees at all. And I enjoy the workout I get. I sweat my butt off everyday, burning over 1000 calories each day. I just wanted to let you know how well this machine is for people who have to do no impact exercise. Thanks again." "I started my weight loss journey on March 26, 2003. I purchased a NordicTrack Treadmill on August 17, 2003 after losing a few pounds on my own. I've exercised almost daily since I purchased the treadmill. I currently do 4 1/2 miles per day at 4.0 miles per hour. I have lost a total of 187 pounds since I started my weight loss journey. My original weight started at 346 and I am currently down to 157. I have reached and surpassed the goal that I originally set in 2003. I attribute my weight loss success to the exercise that I get with the treadmill. It is the best investment that I ever made for myself. I have a totally changed my life since losing the weight. I have a totally positive attitude about exercise that I never had before. For the first time in my life, I am in control of my weight thanks to the purchase that I made for myself. I'm a much happier person and am loving the new me!"

"I bought a treadmill last year when I weighed 217lbs. I was very depressed about the weight, I pushed myself too hard at first and hurt my knees, this was very upsetting I felt I wouldn't be able to lose the weight if I couldn't work out harder. I did research on the internet on warming up and stretching before working out and yoga. so I backed off and took it slow, I walked 5 days a week. after 3 months my knees were better. I slowly increased speed and incline, I now burn 560 cal in an hour on it and I have lost 42lbs I haven't changed my diet much, I drink more water now. I know that if I did change my diet the rest would fly off. my goal is 50-60 more pounds. I enjoy the workout. it makes me feel sexy, powerful and happier!!"
"Although I have had my Nordic Track treadmill for nine years, I didn't really start using it until almost two years ago. In just a little over a year, walking 4-5 days a week, about 45 minutes a day, I lost 40 pounds, going from 177 to 137. The amazing this is that I have continued to walk and I have kept that 40 pounds off for a year now! Thanks for a great product. I'm sorry it took so long to start using it on a regular basis and I'm thankful I never let my husband talk me into selling it!"
"I had my NordicTrack treadmill for a year before I started really using it. I used it off and on for that time and never got serious about working out, sweating and losing weight. The machine is simple enough but I just wasn't interested. I weighed close to 250 pounds when I got serious about getting fit. To date I have lost 54 pounds. The great thing about my weight lose is that I have not been dieting. I walk 3.5 miles 5 days a week on my treadmill and I love it. My blood pressure is down, my bad cholesterol is below 200 and I sleep so much better now. I would still love to lose a few more pounds but I think that will eventually come off as I continue exercising regularly. I love my NordicTrack and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get in shape."
"I started dieting 11-05-03 and mainly I would walk 30 minutes on a NordicTrack treadmill in my uncle's gym. At the start I weighed 210 pounds. In less than one year I lost 74 pounds. Now I weight lift and jog 5 to 6 miles per day and I now own my own NordicTrack treadmill. I'm also a motivation for my whole family and my cousin has now lost 18 pounds in one month walking on the same treadmill I started on."
"I have lost 80 pounds in 10 months using American NordicTrack. I started at 270 lbs. Jan. 1, 2005 and now on Oct. 28, 2005 I weigh 190 lbs. I use it 30 minutes daily, still eat whatever I want, and as long as I workout with NordicTrack, I lose weight. Thank you, "
"I purchased a Nordic Track treadmill last year in September. I started a 2 x a day workout and quit drinking regular soda pop. One year later and I have lost 55 pounds. The great thing is, I eat what I want. Thank you!"

"One year ago, I decided it was time to lose weight and improve my physical fitness. I purchased a NordicTrack Reflex treadmill and I committed to run on my treadmill every other day. Because I weighed 230 pounds, I was concerned about potential pain in my knees from the repetitive impact of running. The cushion that my treadmill provided decreased the impact and I have felt no pain from the workouts.
I have run every other day for one year. For the past eight months, I have run five miles each time (burning more than 900 calories each time). The end result of this exercise is remarkable – my overall health has improved significantly. I have more energy and lost 18 pounds, without adjusting my eating habits. My cholesterol, blood pressure and waistline have all reduced over the past year. As a Board-Certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialist, I strongly recommend the NordicTrack Reflex Treadmill to anybody who wants to lose weight, reduce cholesterol and enjoy a low-impact workout."
"Purchased a NordicTrack elliptical, lost 20 pounds over 4 months using it only 30 minutes, three times per week. Great equipment, easy assembly, and it's very durable."
