Nordictrack 360- great value

This machine is a great value. It has a very solid feel, and allows a variety of exercises. I did purchase the in home installation which made it very easy. The price of the unit was low enough that I was wondering about the quality. But seeing it in the store convinced me it is well built. You won't... read full review »

I took it back

We had to order this product from the store because they were out. I thought that was a good sign. Boy was I wrong! After we waited three weeks we got it home and put it together and the instutions were all wrong, there wasn't enough spacers, and parts didn't fit right. Like on other reviews the set... read full review »

Not as good the AD said

1.) The swing arms too long 2.) The pulleys are not smooth 3.) Cheap pulley not even ball bearing, pulleys wont able to do 50lbs. Anyway, this machine is not smooth as Bow flex, and it is difficult to pull and wont be a enjoyable exercise at all. This one is the biggest down fall of Nordic Track

Good machine

I bought this machine from Sears about a month ago. I really like the variety of types of exercises you can do with it. In my opinion it blows away the more static machines. When we were purchasing, we also considered a Bowflex, but it bugged me that the resistance wasn't consistent. It's a very solid machine and I'm happy with the construction. I suspect it will be very durable. Assembly took a few hours and went fairly smoothly. I had read about problems with assembly, but it wasn't as bad as I had feared. The only problem I had was with the roll pin holding the weights. I had to drill out... read full review »

A DO IT YOURSELF NIGHTMARE

If I wasn't good with tools and had the right tools it would have been returned. Poor fit, weld spatters, poor casting, required grinding & hole enlargement. SOME EXAMPLES: Seat would not go over any of the mounting pins (required grinding). Weld splatter in pivot holes required grinding in order to insert bolts. I made my living repairing complex mechanical equipment and this was a challenge that most people would not have been able to complete. Today is the 1st day I'll be using it. It appears to work well but only because I spent 12 hours assembling it. Another person helping would have saved... read full review »

Great Product

I purchased one of these about 6 months ago and absolutely love it. After reading some of the previous reviews I thought I should give mine. Like the others had mentioned the box is big and heavy, but all you have to do is open the box and remove one piece at a time. Putting the thing together is a challenge, but not that much harder then most things. My only complaint is with the seat. My seat bracket would not fit over the seat dowels on the base, I had to grind the bracket with a grinder. This is pretty major if you don't have that capability. Excercise wise, this thing performs great.... read full review »

My Experience Different Than Other Reviews

My experience with the 360 does not agree with all the others. The box is big and heavy but that was expected. I carried parts from the garage to the exercize room as needed for assembly. I had only one assembly problem - the roll pin for the weight stack would not go through without enlarging the hole in the carrier. All other parts fit nicely. There was no welding slag mentioned in previous reviews. There was one spot in the assembly instructions that needs some clarification but if you do it wrong it becomes obvious at a later point and is easily correctable. It took me about 4 hours... read full review »

GREAT BUY!!!!

This is a awesome buy for the money.PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN to the negative reviews.The only reason I give it 4 stars is beacause I just purchased it and put it together but, so far Im impressed.The install wasnt that bad exept I had to make the roll pin hole bigger but what product you buy you dont have to modify.This is a gym at home without going to a gym and spending thousands for a membership.
