The EXP7i's 2.6 CHP motor, spacious running deck, and a range of options for training make it a great option for runners. Its iFIT integration, which gives access to a growing collection of trainer-led workouts as well as guided walks through some of the most stunning places in the world, is a big selling point for those who seek motivation and guidance from their equipment.

The treadmill's AutoBreeze workout fan will automatically adjust its airflow to your workout pace and comes with four different power settings. The DuraStride running deck features precision and non-flex rollers that are 1.9 inches in diameter. This deck is a good quality deck that will give you an enjoyable run. However, it might not be suitable for runners who require long-lasting performance.
The console is simple and offers basic functionality and we love its easy-to-use speed and incline controls which allow you to alter or reduce your settings in half-step increments. We also like the fact that you can choose workout apps from a large selection, and that you can also connect your smartphone to the console to make use of its built-in GPS feature to track distances and speeds.
The treadmill is able to be folded to make space. It also has a gas-powered shock that gently unfolds the deck instead of smashing it down by force. The design that folds is a major benefit for us, as it makes the treadmill an ideal option for homes with limited storage space. It's a great choice for those who don't want to have to move a large container to move their machine.
NordicTrack's iFIT compatibility allows you to access a vast library of workouts, training courses and expert trainers. You can also replicate the actual run by using Google Maps, and automate the speed and the incline of your treadmill to provide an additional challenge.
