"I bought a NordicTrack 3000 ski machine in 1995. Unfortunately I tore a tendon in my shoulder, and it has been operated on three times, and is now unoperable. The NordicTrack is the only form of rehabilitation that my shoulder can support. As a chiropractor, I highly recommend this as a form of rehab for shoulder problems. Do you have a Swiss distributor? If not, I would love to market your machine here in Europe. I would suggest fixing your website so that foreign countries can contact you."
"I purchased my Nordic ski machine 19 years ago after I had my first son to lose my baby weight. I have since had two more sons, they are now 20, 18, and 16 and still use my Nordic 2 to 5 times a week depending on my dedication. It is a wonderful workout and I have never had one problem with my machine!!!"
"1 year ago I received my NordicTrack 3000R treadmill - it was my birthday present for my 40th birthday. I am 6'4" and weighed 245. The year before I had weighed 266 and lost 21 lbs just by eating better but couldn't get below 245. I started off slowly but was able to increase my workouts to 4 to 5x a week at 3 miles a workout. I have dropped 35 lbs in 9 months and am holding steady at 210 lbs - I definitely couldn't have done it without my NordicTrack treadmill. Thanks for a great product."
"In 1992 i was a Detective for the Sheriffs Department in Citrus county Florida, while making an arrest I had a blood vessel burst in my brain I lapsed into a comma for a month and a half before having 2 brain surgeries and awakening a total invalid. Over time I overcame all of my physical deficits but in May of 2007 I found my self at 5ft 8in tall and 250 lb, my blood pressure going up once again, along with a host of other problems. I made the decision to purchase one of your tread mills and that has been almost one year ago. Since that time, I have lost over fifty pounds, I'm off blood pressure medicine, and feel great. I have put many miles on it since when I first started and was only able to go for short distances Now I run about 60 minutes - 6 miles daily. It has been a great investment for my health. Thank you, Richard Martin"
"I am 76 and a tennis player. Lower back pain started about a half year ago. An X-Ray showed a twisted spine. Chiropractic treatments helped, but didn't cure the problem. I read about back pain cure on the internet, and an inversion table was recommended. Several models were tried in showrooms. I liked the Nordic Track best, so I bought one from Sears. It has been several months, and every time I get a back pain - usually from sleeping - I am on it. My back pain disappears. Since I am a snowbird, I am going to get one for my New Jersey home to match the one I have in Florida. I'm sold!!!"

"I haven't used my NordicTrack Classic Pro Skier much in years... you know... too busy running my own company, kids, no time, etc., etc. We'll, for the first time ever, I found my motivation going down and my weight creeping up and it finally broke 200 pounds as I at least watch my weight. Wow-for me-201 pounds and now that is it I thought! I'm going to use my NordicTrack again as it helped me some 10 years ago as I was (at that time) exceeding my maximum weight (the most I'd ever let myself get to) at that time too. We'll, for the second time in my life, my NordicTrack came through with some extra help from watching my diet a little more this past 10 days as well. So now, I sit here before you, rather sweaty from my workout tonight and I can tell you as of my weight this morning, I have lost 7 pounds in 10 days and that doesn't even include my record breaking workout tonight! Plus, I just feel better in both body and spirit too! So, at 43, now back down to 194 pounds and most likely even less than that now, I'm not stopping and I'm heading down to 185 pounds! Furthermore, I'm keeping the dust off my NordicTrack as we're rekindling our relationship together again. It's been too long and I hope my wife doesn't get too jealous! Once she see's what I've done, (and she's already noticed) I'm sure it will make her get back on her NordicTrack Ellipse that also has been collecting dust!"
"My Dad has used your NordicTrack ski machine for nearly 20 years now. His cardiovascular fitness level at 68 years old is equivalent to that of someone 25 years younger."
"In 1991 I was in a car accident, I had many injuries, one being a fractured dislocated right ankle. After rehab was unable to walk without the use of a cane or crutches, I had a lot of pain in my ankle. Some mornings I dreaded placing my feet on the floor because I knew the pain would be awful. My physician told me that I probable would always need a cane. I went to a specialist who said he could fuse my bones to alleviate the pain but I would always have a limp. I decided I would only do such a thing when the pain became so unbearable that I would not put my feet on the ground. Needless to say, I was putting on some pounds and I needed to come up with "something" to help me exercise, something aerobic, but I would not be able to "pound" on my feet and ankles. I purchased a used ski machine from the local bulletin. I hoped the sliding motion would be more gentle yet aerobic enough to be effect exercise. Some days I would get on the machine and the pain in my ankle was so bad, I could barely slide my foot back. I could hear the cracking and popping of the stiff muscles as they were resisting the range of motion. Suddenly I didn't needed my cane as often. I persisted, it got easier, I stayed on longer, it was working. I didn't limp everyday, I didn't have pain every morning. In no time I was even dancing! No one would ever know that I had once been told I would always need a cane. When I moved I gave my used ski machine to a friend because I wanted to buy a newer model. I never replaced my ski machine and when I decided to check your site for pricing I saw the opportunity to share my story. I've always wanted to share my story with you. Thank you."
"After a job related knee injury in 1993, I purchased my Nordic Track Pro. I have used it on a regular basis the past fourteen years. The Nordic Track has kept me in excellent physical condition. At 48 years old, I Nordic Track four days a week for fifty minutes. What a great workout. I have been successful in maintaining my overall health due to my Nordic Track workout routine."

"When I gave birth to my second child, I weighed in at 175lb on my 5ft frame. I was still wearing maternity jeans and oversized clothes when the baby was 6 months old, and I still weighed 155 pounds!!!! Finally, one day in Jan 2007, I saw the commerical for the NordicTrack Spacesave Cx1000. I knew I had to get it! With limited space in my house, this was perfect. Plus, this is low impact and I have a bad ankle from a severe break years ago. This machine made total sense because running was out of the question. Finally, my motivation kicked in and I got moving after it sat in my living room for two months. I stuck with it, drank lots of water, crystal light and ate healthy for the most part. I lost 36 POUNDS!!! I went from a size 14 jean to a 4 and I feel so much better and look AWESOME. I'm soo glad I got this machine. It was the best decision I could have made. I got my health back and I'm lighter now than before I got pregnant!!!!"
"I suffer from RLS (restless legs} I have had to take Reguip to stop the leg movement. I was taking 3 pills a day, at a cost of about $6.00 per day. The very first day that I used the 990 Elliptical my legs stopped jumping and I could get a full nights rest. I have been using the 990 for 2 weeks and so far I have not had to take the Requip. I HOPE THIS WILL CONTINUE"
"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......."
"I was diagnosed with Type 2 dibetes on 9/26/2007, my doctor recomended me to start excesising 40 minutes a day, I already had a Noric Treadmill and I listened to what he told me. I have just added a Nordic bike to my training and I just received my results after working out for 7 weeks, I lost 28 pounds and all my blood work came back and I now do not have type 2 I brought all my bloodwork down into the normal range. I credit this too the great workout gear and my doctor. I also have had a pacemaker for 40 years I am know 44 and my cardioligist is so happy cause I lowered my blood pressure dow 20 points. Thanks NordicTrack"
"In Jan of this year 07 I charged a treadmill for myself and I charged one for my parents. I hadnt worked out in over ten years and I decided I was going to get the most use out of it. At this point right now I have run about three hundred miles on it so far and I have lost twenty nine pounds. I started training for a boxing match again after many years. My cholesterol numbers have came down and before I got my treadmill I was borderline diabetic. Now I am far away from getting that as well. My parents use theirs but not near as much as I do. Hopefully in the future they will step it up. I also bought a NordicTrack bike too. Thanks NordicTrack. I think you have the best equipment!"

"Walking the treads of your fantastic mill have lost me 67 pounds--now man oh man--life is beautiful! "
"In 2002 I had double hip replacement. In my younger years I would run up to 5+ miles a day and played tennis and basketball--I wore out my hips. After surgery I could no longer exercise in that manner. I gained over 50 lbs. In 2004 I started using a Nordictrack treadmill. The incline and adjustable speed made walking a low impact exercise. I lost the 50 lbs in 4 months and felt great. I have a newer Nordictrack treadmill now and continue on a daily basis to maintain my weight and health. Wayne age 66"
"I love the reflex design on my Nordic Track treadmill. This is the only type of treadmill I will own. It cushions so much more than a traditional treadmill it's hard to explain. You have to try it for yourself. Don't stop making this treadmill!"
"I bought a nordicTrack ski machine about 13 yrs. ago-I still use it almost every day. I love it! I have kept my shape after 3 children, and 13 years. New moms always ask me how I do it, and I say, "simple-I get on my nordicTrack!"
"I have had high cholesterol all of my life due to inheriting it from my father. I have dieted, taken vitamins, and taken statins with little or no success. My cholesterol with medication normally will stay within the 300 range for total cholesterol. I have been using a Nordictrack ski machine for the past six months, five days a week for 20 minutes. I recently had my cholesterol checked and it is 224! This is unbelievable! It has never been this low! I tell anyone I know that is having problems with their cholesterol to try this machine. It's simply the best workout I have ever had and fun! Thank you."
"First of all, I have lost 40 lbs since October 1st by simply walking/running, watching my total caloric intake and especially my carb intake. This would not have been possible had it not been for my NordicTrack treadmill. I ordered it directly off the website, which was very nicely laid out and informative, and it arrived within a week in a giant box weighing close to 350 lbs. The machine was a godsend since I could not afford club style equipment, but I wanted to get into shape with a durable solution. Back in September, my family physician diagnosed me with Type 2 Diabetes and I weighed 268 lbs. I searched and searched for potential solutions that could fit my pocketbook and my hectic schedule. I had no time for gyms and needed a good home solution. Your treadmill with the built-in TV was the best solution. The machine is durable and functions perfectly after putting 400 miles (4 miles/day now) on it since October 1st, 2006. I am very happy with my purchase in all respects.
I now weight in at approx. 228 lbs with a about 20 more to go for my target at my height of 6 ft. My latest checkup with the physician was a surprise to him since my cholesterol went down from 180 to 120 (ldl was down to 67), my triglycerides went from 300 to 87, my blood pressure went from 130/90 to 115/78, and my resting heart rate went from 90 to 76.
P.S. I have also gained approx 13 lbs of muscle mass in the process.
Thanks and keep up the good work."
