"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."

"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 "

"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."
– Asma S., Streamwood, IL

"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"
