While most NordicTrack machines will come partially pre-assembled, there will still be some assembly required, and we recommend you read of the manual. Set your machine in an area that has plenty of space around the sides and allows you to stand straight when on the pedals to avoid hitting your head.

Before using your NordicTrack machine, stretch properly and wear the right athletic shoe with grip so that you don't slide as you pedal. You'll also want to keep a water bottle handy to stay hydrated during your workout.
