NordicTrack C990 Treadmill Review

The NordicTrack C990 allows you to exercise in comfort whilst benefiting from the latest fitness technologies to help you acheive your goals.

The NordicTrack C 990 treadmill is a mid priced folding model which benefits from a spacious (20″ x 60″) running surface and incorporates the “FlexSelect” adjustable cushioning system.

Powered by a 3.0 CHP Commercial DurX motor, this is a space saver or (folding) treadmill which means that after use it can be folded up to an upright position where it takes up less storage space.

The control console has a touch screen display with web browser. This allows the user to check their email, surf the web or keep up with their social networking activities. The touch screen interface lets the user navigate menus with a swipe of a finger.

The treadmill has a total of 32 workout programs which automatically adjust the incline and speed of the treadmill. The workouts have been designed by a certified personal trainer and target either calorie-burning, incline, speed or intensity goals.

This model is iFIT enabled with the iFIT module already built in. You can download additional workouts, track your fitness online, and customize your fitness program. This particular feature requires a subscription to iFIT.com which is sold separately.

The product is underwritten by a strong warranty that includes a lifetime guarantee on the motor and frame, with 3 years of parts and 1 year labor.

It’s available at a discounted price from NordicTrack

These are the main features:

Workout programs

Having a good variety of workout programs will help keep you motivated and make it easier to achieve your fitness goals. To this end this treadmill has been built with a total of 32 pre-programmed training workouts.

Each workout program has been designed by a certified personal trainer and will automatically adjust the incline and speed of your treadmill during the course of your workout. Each workout program focuses on an aerobic, weight loss or performance goal.

iFIT enabled

This treadmill is iFIT enabled with the iFIT module already built in. In essence this is a wireless internet connection to the treadmill that adds extra functionality, and engages your interest by opening up a whole new set of workout experiences.

One of the benefits of iFIT is that new workouts are automatically downloaded to the treadmill every day during a set program. These workouts take control of the treadmill, automatically adjusting the speed and incline to provide new challenges to keep you motivated.

Other features include the ability to track your nutrition and other activities, train for a race, lose weight or maintain a healthy lifestyle with the online food and activity log available at iFIT.com.

It should be noted that this particular feature requires a home wireless internet connection, and subscription to iFIT.com.

Drive motor

A 3.0 CHP DurX commercial motor is used to drive the unit. The motor itself uses preventative engineering in order to keep you safer. This includes the use of high-grade wiring and insulation ratings, a thermal cut-off switch and a stringent UL certification process.

The DurX Commercial Pro Motor is also dynamically spin-balanced and rigorously tested for matchless performance in vibration and noise, making it both smooth and quiet in operation.

Web touch screen

The 7″ full color, touch screen incorporates a web browser. This enables the user to connect to their home’s wireless internet network and check their email, surf the web or participate in social networking activities.

Just like a normal display screen the user can check their progress, but the user is able to navigate through menus and pull up relevant workout data with just a swipe of the finger.

The touch screen display works with the built in iFIT module to enable the user to enjoy the experience of watching their workout progress in real time via the Google Maps Street View technology.

Speed adjustment

A “1-Touch” system is used to control speed. Instead of having to scroll through various options, the 1-Touch system allows you to instantly change the speed of the treadmill between 0 to 12 MPH with the single touch of a button. You can decrease your speed immediately when you need a rest, or increase it instantly for a challenging workout.

Incline adjustment

The “1-Touch” control technology is also used in order to change the incline setting. A single touch of a button will allow the user to adjust the angle of the running deck to any value they desire between 0 deg. to 12 deg. of grade.

Adjustable cushioning

The “FlexSelect” cushioning system allows the user to choose between either a cushioned or firm deck. By turning the adjuster one half turn the user can enjoy the superior impact reduction provided by this cushioning system. Alternatively, by turning the adjuster back results in a running surface that is akin to running on the road.


Heart rate monitor

A club-design “CardioGrip” heart rate monitor provides information on the your pulse rate. Sensors in the handlebars relay feedback via the display that helps you to make the most out of every workout.

Monitoring your heart rate ensures that you’re always in the right training zone for your goals. You can get a more effective workout, burn more fat, and improve your cardiovascular health.

Auto cooling fan

An “AutoBreeze” workout fan is mounted into the console. It’s very quiet in operation and automatically changes airflow to match your workout speed. This innovative technology will help you find the right temperature so you can stay cool and comfortable during your workout.

iPOD connection

This model features a universal iPOD connection. The compatible music port allows you to plug in your iPOD, or MP3 Player via an audio jack on the console and play your music through the twin speakers.

Tablet shelf

The tablet shelf was designed for use with most full size tablet computers. The shelf keeps your tablet secure and in close proximity so that you can access any online training tools or entertainment.

Folding frame

Treadmills can take up a fair amount of room and storing them can be a problem. This treadmill  goes some way to overcoming this issue with it’s “space saver” technology.

This facility allows you to fold the treadmill into an upright position after your workout where it will then occupy a lot smaller floor area. The folding of the heavy-duty deck is made easier with the “Easy Lift Assist” technology which is built into the folding mechanism.
