Conclusion for NordicTrack Apex 8500 Treadmill review

The NordicTrack Apex 8500 is a very good machine and we especially like the 3.5 CHP motor that handle easily faster running speeds. Also the belt (with the Reflex Deck cushioning system) is very comfortable and you will love it once you get use with it. You will actually refuse to work on other treadmills because you will have the impression that is only a belt over concrete.

The bed is pretty light so it will be easy to lift and fold but don’t expect to be easy to move since is a heavy machine.

Also you should know that because of the Reflex deck system the workouts will seem much easier since the belt will return part of the energy absorbed on each step.

The warranty is not very good. We recommend to buy the extend warranty.

Overall we think that you get a very good quality for this price and that the NordicTrack Apex 8500 treadmill is one of the best home machines for runners.
