How to get a treadmill through your door

This is a brief explanation on how to get your treadmill, specifically a NordicTrack c900i, through your door. I struggled to fit this square peg in a round hole. I could not find a video to explain how. I didn’t want to disassemble the top. All I needed was to disconnect the wire that held the outer support stand to the base. I finally started tinkering with the power supply and found how to easily unplug it from the circuit board. Voila!

Here it is 4 years later and this video is still the most helpful tool in taking a NordicTrac apart to move! Thank you for creating this content, I was prepared to disassemble my T8.5S - which was a very daunting task AND could have caused damage to the treadmill. I was able to disassemble in 10 minutes and it is now ready to move. Thank you, thank you!!!

[@swishh18]

Lol thank you. This video will be my claim to fame.

[@sunsetaspofficial]

Wow! If you only could've witnessed us moving this from our kitchen into the playroom about 7 years ago. Scratched walls all to hell and even got stuck in a tight corner for a bit sweating and thinking we were done. This would've been so helpful and now I can move it back into the front room with ease. Thank you!!

[@christinereinsmith577]

OMG!! If this video did not exist, we would have been in big trouble. Thank you so much for sharing! 🧡 It was a tremendous help for us!

[@geod4265]

Thanks so much for posting! This worked perfectly on a newer NordicTrak commercial treadmill. Saved me a bunch a time moving from one room to another. You’re a lifesaver Thanks!

[@chargerman165]

Realizing that you posted this a while back but I want to thank you for this post. I am a 72 year old male in pretty good shape and still working. I get up every morning about 3 am and walk on my treadmill at about 4.5 mph for 65 minutes along with using my stationary bike. Recently my wife and I sold our house and moved and movers could not get my treadmill in the room I intended to put it in so for two weeks is has been sitting in my garage until I watched this video. Night before last we had it apart and in the room back together in 30 minutes thanks to your video. My treadmill is a Nordic Track with 2800 miles on it so it has gotten used a lot and I have certainly missed it. Thanks again.

[@joelkoonce7034]

You sir are a dude I would not only help carry that disassembled mill through that door, but I'd have brought beer too. Great tip.

[@alanlevine8992]

Thanks a million times over. I hired a guy to move it and now I wanted to move it again. I couldn’t figure out how to disconnect the power wire. I have the same treadmill. You’re awesome!!!!

[@daviddominic4161]

Thank you young man. This did save me lots of time because we couldn’t get the treadmill through the door and knew we had to disassemble the top section but couldn’t figure where to disconnect the power source. Very helpful and thank you again.

[@mickeyg.675]

Brother you are a life saver! Wife and I were so stressed on how to get treadmill through dooor. We have Pro-Form 900 and it was same! Thank you seriously!! Much appreciated the video🙏

[@katalinbertram6480]

This video was so helpful. I have a NordicTrack c990 and aside from a few minor differences between the two different models, this was right on the money. My husband and I were able to take the treadmill apart in a few minutes, move it down a flight of stairs (which was awkward but doable) and put it right back together. Thank you for posting this video.

[@B-cw7ug]

You are a life saver, I almost removed my doors. Thank you!!

[@jgrantman]

ABSOLUTELY saved somebody some time. THANK YOU! I was just about to reverse engineer the install instructions and after seeing your video it saved me hours and likely saved me from other issues trying to fully disassemble and reassemble.

[@Nanticoke]

Thank u so much for this video and saving the rest of us in the world time and heartache ! ❤❤

[@carlosvalentino1]

I watched 3 movers try to get this exact same treadmill into my bedroom. They had to take off the top panel spent about an hour trying to figure out how to make it fit. I have been dreading moving it myself. Now the time has come and I need to move it myself after many years in my bedroom. This video was so helpful. Thank you!!

[@richnaidu5990]

Im in the same situation, been putting it off for ages but i need the space in my room

[@jsentilles]

This was extremely helpful. The same basic process works for the c990. You can use a flat head screwdriver to pry the grommet out from inside the base pretty easily without damaging it.

[@MsDiaz-pf4xl]

Thank you so, so much for posting this. I have tried to move mine and can only do so patio doors. Now I can have my treadmill where I want it.

[@maryharelkinbishop8675]

Thank you so much! You saved us TONS of time and worry! We just followed your instructions and moved our treadmill in about 40 minutes! That includes taking it apart as you showed, moving it and putting it back together. So easy and slick!🎉😅

[@davewhitten9755]

I agree that this is THE most helpful video I have seen for moving a C900i NordicTrac treadmill out of a room. Other videos suggest way more work. This is the BEST.

[@kymmedeiros6342]

THANK YOU!! Used this on my NordicTrack T6.5 treadmill and it worked perfectly. My brother was able to disassemble and re assemble in the other room in less than an hour.

[@terryt715]

Thank you!! This is probably the most helpful video I have seen on YT. Nearly the same procedures apply to my NordicTrack C950. Took me less than two hours to move this time, instead of two days like last time.

[@phil3191]

THANKS for your kindness in posting this. Wish I would’ve seen it yesterday before removing the door to my garage which I was unable to put back properly. Still a huge help.

[@JustinGehrts]

We're moving and had to break down our treadmill for the movers... our treadmill is a bit different from this one, but it still gave me enough info on what to do. Definitely wish I'd known this when we bought the thing second-hand several years ago. So, so helpful!!

[@ontherocks31]

Thank God we found your video! You saved us so much trouble and time. We actually had a different model but it worked out just the same. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with others!

[@danpanderson]

This same strategy works for moving a Nordicktrak 2950 Commercial between rooms with standard passage doors. We took the motor cover off, detached the main cable from the printed circuit board, unscrewed the ground wire, and unbolted the legs down at the floor level. We also removed the handle arm ends to be able to get the top half (display, handles, and support arm by removing the two-screws per side which gave us just enough to fit the top half through our doorway configuration. We then had two big pieces that fit through the doorway. We set the bottom (treadmill part on some furniture sliders while tipped on its side. Relatively simple to move and reassemble at that point! Thanks for your videeo! In spite of not finding anything on KZbin that specifically addressed our situation, we decided to give thi a whirl, and it worked!!

[@barpar01]

Thank you for taking the time to figure this out and post this video. You're a lifesaver!

[@briannapriest7430]

Best video on this topic!! Thank you for helping me out!

[@CDs1choice]

Can't thank you enough! Hubby was getting rather peeved trying to figure out how we were going to get it through the door.

[@codeman7264]

Just adding my comment to the others thanking you for this video. Life saver, we had no idea how we were going to be able to get ours relocated as part of a move, thinking we would have to reverse engineer the whole entire thing just to get it out the door. THANK YOU!!!!! 🙏👍

[@mrs.walker3489]

Thank you! My treadmill has been an eyesore in my sunroom since 2017 because it wouldn’t go any further. Finally FINALLY I was able to move it to the basement where it belongs.

[@janicefebradshaw5418]

This video is very helpful. It save us a lot of time. My husband and I successfully disassemble the parts without yelling at each other LOL Thank you so much!! :)

[@vickibarker4365]

Excellent video. Your direction made our project doable. Thank you. Great demonstration

[@AndrewDeLeon-kq2jv]

I would give this video a million likes if I could. Extremely helpful. Thank you very much!

[@christophersprysa3519]

Simple video, to the point, and worked seamlessly for the NordicTrack T8.5 S that I just bought 2nd hand. Disassembled the way you showed, and was able to push the clips in and push that wire out of the console without issue. Thanks for this, now my wife thinks I'm handy haha.

[@vastateofmind]

I feel kinda stupid that I had to look for direction like this on KZbin, but -- YOU saved me a ton of work, my friend. Thank you for posting this!

[@edwardmacnish1802]

Redoing a room for my daughter to switch for her bedroom and need to move this out. This is awesome. Thanks!

[@soccermaniac008]

You are my hero for the day!! I have been preparing for an upcoming move and I've been dreading figuring out how I was going to take mine apart. Thank you!!

[@TheConfuzed1]

Thanks! Like you, I started going about this all wrong. That was when I decided to check KZbin, and I found this video. You saved me some time and heartache!

[@christierosette2653]

OMG! Thanks for the video. I've been try to figure out how to disconnect the cable for a week. I was afraid to break it. This is so helpful

[@christinekakareka3837]

Brilliant, thank you! The moving company wanted to charge me almost $500 to move my treadmill. I was able to easily do this on my own but needed a second person to help me reassemble.

[@neilmorrison963]

You are a hero for posting this! Thanks so much. Things were not looking good before I found this.

[@phildavidson9463]

Thank you! Thank you! I saw how to disconnect the uprights of my NordicTrack T6.7i treadmill (model 25021.1) at the bottom, but I didn't see how the control cable is connected at the bottom end. But just as you showed, it's easy to remove the motor hood (five Phillips screws, easy to find) and to disconnect the cable connector and the ground wire. As you noted, it's a little tricky to pull out the black plastic strain relief/gasket where the cable passes into the box. On the side of that little block, there are two or three catches that hold it in place. With care and a small flat screwdriver, one can depress one or two of the catches and pull the block out without too much force. Thanks again. This was a huge help for an intimidating problem.

[@amandareisinger3822]

This is fantastic! Mine has been in my garage for 6 months because I couldn't figure out how to get it down a narrow stairway in my house to the basement!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@ColinDdd]

live saver. i didn't think i would need to disconnect from the circuit board itself, so insane

[@MsTrudee]

This was so helpful, the same process worked for our NordicTrack 1270 pro. You’re a lifesaver. Thank you x 1000!!

[@Gradowhat]

Thank you for saving me back and hernia surgery. Much appreciated!

[@hwfanmx]

Exactly what I was looking for. You helped me a lot. Thank you so much. greetings!!!

[@brendasouthwick1630]

Incredible! Thank you for creating this. It has saved me hours of work!

This is a lifesaver. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@nirnoam]

Saved me a hole lot of time! Thank you!!

[@al52269]

Thanks for sharing. I ended up putting it in the garage. Maybe sometime this week I will try to put it inside finish basement.

[@Milzey]

Thank you x100! You're a genuine legend who saved me hours of heartache 🥰

[@TheHulkster5]

thank you sir very helpful; i have a different version but almost the same; i was able to get through a 29.5 inch door opening; now we can hang our cloths again on it LOL

[@bookmark2846]

Thank you for uploading this video. NordicTrack should have designed it better since it is pretty common to move the treadmill to another place.

[@newlizard]

OMG!! Amazing so helpful and saved me a ton of time and effort. YOU ROCK! thank you

[@frapalino]

Thanks a ton for this. I had already dinged up the door frame, trying to fit the treadmill through. This was perfect. We have a different model, but it was a similar process. Thanks.

[@MikeMike-bn9ys]

Wow bro I really appreciate you figuring it out and posting it not to many people do that your awesome!

[@Sk22793]

Thank you so much for this video! Very easy to follow. Saved the day!

[@khwajaimran769]

thank you for making our life easier this made our day otherwise big trouble

[@valclementine]

Thank you so so much for taking the time to make this very useful video for us. You just save my dad and me few hours of our time & some headaches too ! ❤

[@stupoirier9112]

You’re the best. Thank you for taking the time to video this process.

[@bradleyguffie7121]

Saved my ass dude, thank you. The last treadmill my company moved it took us about 2 hours to take apart the monitor and arm rest etc. This way literally took 20min.

[@yankinca]

Outstanding. Works for the 910i as well. The grommet/strain relief has a small tab you can depress from inside that allows it to pop right out. Thank you!

[@briannapredieri3208]

yankinca where

[@yankinca]

@@briannapredieri3208 You can see the tab from the inside only. It is very small, so get a bright flashlight, and look for seams. Them just take a screwdriver and push "In" towards the wire.

[@sarapestinger6119]

Sara Pestinger 2 days ago Hi; So helpful.. Quick question. we're buy one and moving today. We're wondering if we can get the NordicTrack c910i we're buying into our SUV after we separate the track from the control panel. The manual says the length is 6'8" but it doesn't tell me the exact measurement of the track from end to end. It also reports that the width is 3' but it would also be helpful to have the depth of the railings tip to to the back of the control panel. Any chance you could shoot me that info?

[@jenren1970]

Thank you so much for posting this!!!🙏🏼🙌🏼🏆

[@erniechacon1010]

Thank you for keeping it simple and effective. Well done. Saved my day.

[@meghannrhiannon]

Thank you so much! Getting ready for a move and this had me panicking. Instant stress relief.

[@CStack2Ci]

Thanks for this video! It helped us to move our NordickTrack T6.5s treadmill! I couldn't get it to work at first, and then found this (which worked): If it is plugged in, make sure the magnetic key is inserted into the console. For safety reasons, NordicTrack treadmills won't operate without the safety key. If the key is in its slot, pull it out and reinsert it to see if this fixes the problem. (yep, that did it!!)

[@Arrose17]

Super helpful for my T7.5 S. Thank you!

[@ThatGuy-xl5qt]

Thank you! Saved me a world of headaches.

You saved me a great deal of work.

Thanks I have just spent about 2 hours trying to disassemble it to move it.

[@williamcox9240]

This is the greatest! So helpful and I was able to move it by myself. Thanks a million!

[@testsubject7350]

wish i wouldve watched this before disassembling half of the thing, then realizing i couldnt get the damn cord out of the leg going up to the control board, but will now be doing this plus a little extra assembly. Thanks, now my fat ass can start running again this winter.

Cannot understate how applicable "pry the shit out of it" is when trying to get that grommet out

[@joehightower]

Worked great - thanks for sharing your insight!

[@victorhammill4224]

Thanks for the tip - moved it in 20 minutes instead of taking the whole panel apart

Thank you you saved me a lot of time. Great video.

[@aaronreich5663]

Thank you so much ...this was incredibly useful, helpful 👌👍

[@am1296]

Works perfectly! Just be careful flipping the track portion on its side. Spring loaded! Will kick out suddenly. Hurt my bare feet, but all good.

[@Tina-Marie-iz8zy]

I have trouble getting my T150 through the door too. I've had to put it into my garage and I don't want it there I want to close to where I am all the time. I will try and get someone I know to help me with it. Thanks for the video.
