About the Product
This treadmill has everything you need to reach your fitness goals whether walking, light running or serious jogging. Best part of the Nordictrack T 8.5 S Tread is that it is powered with a 1 year membership to iFit Coach.
The T101 is ideal for someone who’s beginning a fitness regime or wants to focus on light to moderate workouts. The nine programs provide exposure to different types of treadmill workouts, and many exercisers find themselves more motivated to work out when they can easily listen to podcasts or MP3s.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
NordicTrack NTL17915 Treadmill
- For its size, it didn't take up as much room as I thought. Here it is wedged between my 2 other machines.
- The speeds are 1-10 and most of the time I can't even go past 6 for my fast jogging.
- Really nice. The incline is smooth, belt pull is powerful with the 2.6 HP engine.
- This is a very well made piece of equipment that operates beautifully at the highest of inclines and at all available speeds - and it is STURDY.
- The incline and speed changes (10 speeds with fractional speeds in 10ths) are a great feature and good for this price.
Horizon Fitness T101
- Assembly wasn't too difficult with two people.
- It is easy to fold and unfold the treadmill so it takes up less space.
- It works great so far! Easy set up. I’m very happy with it.
- Treadmill is very quiet and has nice, basic features, but it’s not sturdy and squeaks.
- The deck is 55” long, which is long enough for most people. But if you’re particularly tall, you may find that it’s not quite long enough for your stride.

What customers say about "Design"
NordicTrack NTL17915 Treadmill
- The cup holders are nice and large to put your keys, watch, socks, if you like running barefooted like an animal, cellphone, or your Big Gulp drink that you got form 7-Eleven.
- The unit is sturdy and looks nice. The speaker connection is nice.
- The hydraulic support for folding the treadmill is genius.
- Assembly guy was a good guy, not his fault. He let me know that the cover to the motor was broken.
- The Unit is very heavy. Requires two persons to assemble without risk of injury.
- Plastic protector at head of running board is about 3 inches too close to my feet, so I occasionally land on it while jogging
Horizon Fitness T101
- It's also the quietest treadmill I've ever encountered, which is great when I'm up before my husband in the mornings!
- You get power incline and a surprisingly quiet motor.
- The built-in phone/tablet USB charging port is a nice touch since there is a tablet stand above the digital readout.
- 3-Zone Variable Response Cushioning provides the ideal amount of flex and support to enhance your stride and reduce the risk of injury.
- It doesn’t have as powerful of a motor as other treadmills, meaning it is not ideal for extended or intense workouts.

What customers say about "Features"
NordicTrack NTL17915 Treadmill
- The panel has plenty of options to keep track of all kinds of stuff. Honestly I only use time, or distance, but I understand it's cool to have little preset workouts and other options.
- If you don't care about sound quality, then maybe they're ok but I'd recommend your own headphones.
- Once you figure out how to bypass the initial console screen demanding an iFit registration, console is pretty easy to use (though instructions are scant on the buttons immediately below the screen, and what instructions there were were not consistent with the screen's behavior)
- Love that I can rest my tablet on the panel to watch TV while I run/walk.
- I agree that the panel speakers suck. Use earphones or your stereo, problem solved.
Horizon Fitness T101
- There are no fancy screens, just some LED lights and numbers.
- The nine built-in programs are enough to keep beginning exercisers challenged.
- The programs automatically change incline and speed for you, or you can manually change them.
- It is easy to fold and unfold the treadmill so it takes up less space. The built-in fan is pretty useless.
- I found the bluetooth connection to be spotty. While it does pair readily, it skips and delivers static from time to time, even though I'm standing right there with my Samsung smart phone.
