NordicTrack C2155 – 2008
Overview
IMPORTANT: This model is no longer being sold. We recommend browsing through our latest NordicTrack treadmill reviews to find a new treadmill with the latest technology.
At first glance it seems that the NordicTrack C2155 is one of the best treadmills you can buy for $850. It comes with a spacious running zone and adjustable cushioning, pretty good preset workouts, an iFIT card slot and an iPod Dock.
The treadmill’s sound system works well, but don’t expect to receive the best quality.
Some users have complained about the CardioGrip™ Heart Rate Monitor not being accurate. We’ve noticed this too and we consider it a serious minus. Another disadvantage is the heaviness of the machine. You cannot move it without at least 2 people helping you.
Overall, the machine works very well, it is extremely quiet and it’s worth the $800 you pay for it.

Features
15 preset
There are 15 preset programs installed that automatically adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill. These programs focus on aerobic, weight loss or performance workouts.
The model includes an Auto Breeze Fan system to cool you down during training.
It folds easily.
Grafixx Hi-Resolution Display
Along with the usual training info like miles walked and calories, the console displays also nice animations like your heart beat or an animated figure walking.
The following features are also included
Training Zone Indicator, Interplay Universal iPod Dock, iFIT Workout Card Technology and Club Design CardioGrip Heart Rate Monitor.
Conclusions
This is a decent machine, but it has its downs. For example assembly takes around 2 hours, if you follow the manual directions carefully. If you miss one step, you have to start over from the beginning.
The heart monitor sensor is inaccurate, which makes the heart reading annoying and useless.
But even so, for 800$ you get a good treadmill on which you can run enough miles for a couple of years.
Anybody had experience with this NordicTrack C2155 Treadmill?
Yap, My main problems is the low volume level when using the ifit digital cards
I am quite pleased with it + is a value standpoint and being a step up from the low budget ones
Is a good treadmill for jogging and walking – i don;t tink it will keep up with a real runner
Anyone with a Nordic Track C2155? Could you give me the dimensions. Length, width, height? Thanks

I have had my tread mill C2155 for just a little over 2 years and the console died and they want me to spend over $400 on a new one. I’m looking for a different Tread mill.
@Tracy – In this situation your decision to go with a new treadmill is very wise. We have a few good options reviewed on the website.
I purchased one 1-31-09 used maybe 12 times till may 2010 do to health issues. Set it back up to get started again and it will not work. Contacted nordic track, console is out, they cant help me because its out of warranty they say. they say the console is out, that cost 392.00. Its a lemon and I know that so I will not buy another one do to there customer survice.
@Connie – the treadmill may have been damaged when it wasn’t operated. The diagnostic may be wrong. Try to ask a technician to help you and review the treadmill.
Bought new … at least 6 years ago. Have warranty but very few problems … slow jogger … moderate milage … virtually no issues!
Can I adjust or create programs/presets beyond 30 minutes…
We have had the treadmill since 2008, my wife does about four miles on it almost every day during the week. We have moved once and it was banged up a bit( the fastener where the console connects to the handle on one side stripped) but still serves my wife well. I agree the HR monitor was inaccurate, but over all we have been pleased. We are looking for a new one since the belt is fraying and one of the heart rate handles cracked.
I’m purchasing a 2008 NordicTrack C2155 for $200. The previous owner has barely used it over the years and claims it is working fine. Say a prayer for me as I really need a treadmill.
