Why the NordicTrack T Series treadmill is a Most Wanted Holiday Gift

NordicTrack's T Series 6.5 S treadmill boasts a 4.4-star average rating on Amazon with more than 19,000 5-star reviews. It connects to an iFit membership where you can stream live and on-demand workouts.

"The iFit membership I think is stunning," reviewer Matthew Creel says. "Running in another country or hillside with a trainer all while enjoying the scenery (don't wimp out on monitor size or this is less enjoyable) while getting a good workout makes using this treadmill so much more enjoyable/pleasant."

While equipped with built-in iFit technology, you don't need to be an iFit subscriber to use (and enjoy) the NordicTrack T Series 6.5 S treadmill. According to reviewers, simply hold the iFit button for 30 seconds to skip the iFit registration process, and start using the treadmill.

Beyond that, the NordicTrack T Series treadmill is comfortable to use.

"The shock absorption is very good," reviewer Galley West says. "I noticed a difference right away in how my legs and feet felt compared to running outside. It has been comfortable every night I have run on it -- no aches or strains."

NordicTrack is one of the most trusted names in treadmills. This bestselling model makes a great gift for others, or even yourself. It's our pick for the best treadmill to gift this year, and one of CBS Essentials' 100 Most Wanted Holiday Gifts.
