NordicTrack Incline Trainer or FreeMotion Incline Trainer?
Nordictrack T7 Si has many common features with Nordictrack T9 Ci. This is because they are part of the same Horizon T Series.
Nordictrack T9 Ci has the dedicated function of Touch Screen Display, a better incline, speed and motor, but these are basically the only important differences between these 2 similar machines. One costs $1,400 and the other $800.
The lower priced treadmill is Nordictrack T7 Si, and although we got this price from a special price offer, it’s also the right value to pay ($800).
You can read about these features and much more in our review. You’ll see for yourself if this treadmill meets your requirements in our Conclusions section.
Nordictrack T7 Si Treadmill Specifications
Speed: 0-10 Mph 1-Touch
You can easily change the speed by one single touch.
Inclination: 0%-10% 1-Touch
Motor: Durx 2.25 Hp Commercial Motor
This is a powerful motor that allows long and smooth exercise.
Belt: 20″x 55″
The treadbelt enables sure footing and smooth and safe workouts. It is spacious enough, but still shorter than its superior model, Nordictrack T9 Ci Treadmill.
The belt is backed by an adjustable Cushioning System called DuraStride which reduces impact on ankles, knees and spine by 15% – 33%, in theory. This system incorporates a moveable isolator, which allows changing support from a firmer, street-like workout to a softer workout.

Warranty:
This treadmill comes with a lifetime guarantee on the motor and frame, and 1 year for parts and in-home service.
Nordictrack T7 SI Treadmill Features
Display:
The display includes common features for all Nordictrack treadmills. You can see the following feedback during workout:
- Speed of the belt
- Your walking pace in minutes/ miles or kilometers
- Approximate number of burned calories
- Elapsed time
- Walked or run distance
- Number of completed laps- one mile has 4 laps
- Incline setting and its changes
- Heart rate
- Animation of the road
During exercise, the left display shows you the incline of the treadmill, the elapsed time and the approximate number of burned calories. Press the Display button below the left display until you get to the information you need.
On the right display you see the walked or run distance and the speed of the walking belt.
To see the sum of miles walked and calories burned, press the Total button. The value will be shown in hundreds (5 calories= 500 calories).
The training zone bar will display the intensity of your workout and will show your position accordingly (cool down, fat burn, aerobic, endurance or performance).
Heart Rate Readings: Contact Handles
To measure your heart rate, put your hands on the handrails and keep them still for 15 seconds. This is a common feature added to offer basic feedback during workout. Don’t use it as a medical device.

Folding Treadmill:
As other Nordictrack products, this treadmill folds vertically, which is a primary asset of this selection. Adjust the incline to the lowest position, remove the key and unplug the cord. Hold the metal frame and raise halfway to the vertical position. Note that the knob must be safely locked in the storage position.
Sound System: iPod Dock Included
You have volume controls for MP3 input only.
iFit SD Cards Workouts – Optional
Same as Nordictrack T9 Ci, the Nordictrack T7 Si Treadmill is compatible with iFIT SD Cards. If you don’t know much about them, you can read this article written by us (iFIT Workouts).
Basically, they are workouts built by professional trainers and dedicated to specific goals (example: 8 week workout program to lose pounds, workouts to train for a long distance run or a marathon). The SD Card workouts have also voice enabled to motivate you during exercise. They cost separately from the treadmill’s price but they make it a valuable asset to your workout routine if bought.
