This video takes a deeper look at the NordicTrack Fusion CST. This home cable machine from NordicTrack cost us $1999. This form of equipment focuses on low-weight/high-rep exercises and HIIT training. It’s a combination of cardio and strength movements.
We opted for free shipping and no assembly. At 385 pounds, this piece of equipment is incredibly heavy and we wished we had opted for their white glove delivery service (additional $249).
While the Fusion CST is extremely heavy and difficult to transport, it needs to be heavy so it’s not easily pulled over while in use. It feels very sturdy and safe.
Our purchase of the Fusion CST included a 10” tablet for viewing iFit’s library of Fusion CST workouts. Currently the library has around 100 different videos targeting different muscle groups/full body/hiit and more.
The Fusion CST has 6 cable pullies (high, mid, and low). You can do many different push/pull movements on this equipment. The Fusion CST also comes with a separate tablet stand for convenience and a Bluetooth chest strap HR monitor.
There are no preloaded workouts on the Fusion CST. You will need to maintain a subscription to iFit Coach to access. NordicTrack is currently giving a 12-month subscription free with your purchase.

I have the Fusion CT pro version of this and it is incredible. I now have this and the Hydrow and together they provide everything I need. I was wounded overseas as a US Marine and had been struggling to maintain fitness with free weights due to a weird thing to do minor spinal cord thing where my right ankle/foot doesn't work 100% properly- For example, I can't do toe raises and I have a slight limp. That limits me with free weights because of balance. Anyhow, It is fun the classes are engaging and because you can tailor the resistance to your needs- I see comments asking for the weight equivalent- It is hard to determine because the magnetic resistance is hard to translate over to weights- While it feels the same as a machine that uses plates it is much smoother so I'd say max weight is around 200 lbs. That may not sound like a lot but it is- This machine alone won't get you to Mr Olympus competition standards but if you work at it you can build yourself in to a truly physically fit person. Due to the type of hi op tempo unit that I was in as a Marine I was in incredible shape- think extreme endurance, stamina, flexibility. his machine has gotten me back to being as close to that as I can with the limitations from my injuries where it took many surgeries- Thankfully I have all my limbs and the a few bullet holes are scars are cool chicks dig em (kidding) It really is a good and interesting way to work out my wife did Orange theory, Barry's Bootcamp etc religiously sometimes twice a day before and after work and she has completely shifted over to using this and the hydrow. It really is good I am a believer.
I've been thinking of getting the fusion cst pro version for sometime now but I haven't been able to find any reviews or comments on the Pro other than your post. Good to know someone recommends it, is there anything you do not like about it? How long have you owned yours?
Thanks so much for weight equivalent
@Shorty Macquiao Shorty very nice of you to say- It was truly and honor and privilege to serve this nation.
wishing you a speedy recovery I'm in thesame boat I'm a wounded firefightertryingg to wok my way back
what does the pro bring ?
It can be used without a subscription FYI. Its then just a free weight machine no classes..
Sold! That alone is why it's the front runner in my opinion. I really liked the tonal but can't justify that price + subscription
Super helpful video! Thank you!
No problem, thanks for watching!
This vs tonal comparison possible?
*This is the second Treadmill friend I've owned **bestgym.equipment** t was easy to assemble and easier to fold than my last one. The controls are a lot better as well. I give it 5 stars!*
What do you think of this versus the bowflex HVT?
I just have one word for it - impressive ! the NordicTrack treadmill is perfect for home workout for any fitness freak. Thanks to the in-built mediatek platform for keeping the system up and running for long
I own this machine in the UK and let me tell you it's a great investment I don't regret spending my £1895 one bit, 15 minutes into a workout and this machine gets my heart rate up sky high this machine is not about heavy resistance it's more of a cardio workout with higher reps
Very interesting machine. Can you show the pro version? Thank you
I think this is a great home gym equipment and what's surprising is mediatek is powering. Even better!
What's low weight? What's the comparison of their heaviest setting to a weight?
Great video!
Great review...
Does the machine have tension when pulling out and tension as its going back in? like a weight stack basically falls back to earth taking the weight off of the handle. Does this maintain weight during eccentric and concentric?
i assume you can still do your own workouts without the subscription. or does the machine not work.unless you pay the monthly price?
Yep,she talked me into it. Just bought three! 😂
Building up the home gym and was looking to get this and the rower since were trapped at home. Thoughts?
Thanks for checking out our review. What are you primarily hoping to use it for? It is great for HIIT workouts and doing a lot of low weight, high repetition movements. It's important to note that this will not take the place of a typical cable machine that has weights built in, this is a little bit different. If you're not a heavy lifter, this will get the job done for you.
can you use it without a workout running on the tablet? like if you have memorized the workout can you just get going without following a video?
Yes 100%, you don't have to be following along with a workout at all and you can do your own routine. Let us know if you have any other questions.
Thx for sharing your review. Does anyone use this equipment? Any issues or complaints? I was considering getting this for my home.
I would marry this machine. im 50 and use it almost everyday but at least 5 times a week. have lost 30lbs in 2020 and now look about as healthy as I've been in a very long time. I wouldn't drop a dime on any other machine than this one if I had the space.
so if you dont have the description will the manual mode still work? As well can you do a seated row on this machine ?
yes you can, but they don't sell any sliding seat attachment so...if you can find that let me know haha.
Will it work without the tablet/ipad?
Thanks, what’s the weight equivalent, when lifting?
Apparently it's hard to compare since it's magnetic resistance but another commenter said around 200lbs
Are these workouts already downloaded on the tablet? I'm new to this machine but I am definitely interested in it.
You need to Subscribe to Ifit in order to use any of the workouts.
Has anyone been able to compare this vs the Bowflex HVT?
I wonder why they raise their price online and added a threshold delivery.
NordicTrack makes really interesting home training equipment and the powerful Mediatek powered CST is a really good product.
Can you sync this with Apple Watch workouts?
nope
Thats sucks if you cant :(
So tired of everything requiring a subscription. Really wished a company would just put together a bunch of plans and have it come with the equipment. $2000 is a lot of money just to have to pay for subscriptions.
How is the reliability on this machine? Also, if you stop paying for a subscription, does that make the product useless?
We have been using this machine for about 2 years now and haven't had any issues with it. To us, the biggest challenge has been when we need to move it because it's a very heavy piece of equipment. If you stop paying for the subscription you will still be able to use the machine, you just won't have access to the workouts for it. So, if you know how to use the machine and what you want to do for a workout you will be just fine. Let us know if you have any follow up questions.
About to make an expensive decision but before I do I just wanna know about the customer service… yay or nay?
Ok, not sure if she explained it correctly or not. I NEED a subscription to use this machine after 12 months?
Sorry for the confusion. After your free 12 months is up, you can cancel your subscription and use the machine without any subscription service. Let us know if you have any follow up questions.
@@BestTreadmillReviews that helps! Thanks
I just purchased one and it keeps resetting the tension back to 1 when I workout. Also the watts don’t show on how much i pull
What’s the highest resistance ? What does the highest resistance equate to in real weight ?
Some people say who own it is about 200 lb. should be enough to get nice muscles.
@@EmilioYoutub1985 that’s more than enough for me I just ordered it Friday
@@EmilioYoutub1985 I just got mine either mine is broken or it’s more like 20 pounds because I can go to level 20 right now and it doesn’t feel like more than 20 pounds
@@darthdan3983 do you still
Use it? Do you recommend or is it very light? I’m thinking about buying
@@322ayala I sent it back that thing was awful I would not recommend it to anyone
So you CAN use it with out the subscription!? I'm doing in at home gym so I dont have to pay monthly shit
When you purchase this machine from our website, it comes with a year free iFit membership. However, you do not have to have the membership in order to use this machine
@@nordictrack I am planning on getting this as well as the S22i. When the year runs out do I need a subscription for each equipment? Or, can I use the same subscription on all Nordic Track equipment?
@@geeb9668 I'm guessing you only need one subscription. I'm also planning on getting those 2 and the single sub makes it a good deal too.Since it's 6months ago, did you buy them? if so can you briefly share your experience? Thanks!
@@nordictrack Pls can you answer Gee B's question below regarding subscription. Thanks!
@@femia.9298 I actually got two bikes instead, my wife wanted us to ride together. I also got the family subscription plan. The subscription has been great, the bikes...a nightmare. The bikes are great when they work but they are never at 100%, something is always wrong. No incline, no watts, no rpm. They sent a new power board after months of waiting. That fixed the incline but not the rpm issue. You should check out the Facebook page before buying this bike. Great concept but very poorly executed...and the worst customer service on the planet. If I could do it over I would go with Peloton instead, not because they have a better bike but they are dedicated to bikes and provide a better product. Nordictrack just have too much going on to give the bikes the quality control that is needed.
In Europe, where they come from, they cost twice as much as in the USA. Wtf?
The Mediatek powered NordicTrack Fusion CST is definitely the best choice for people looking to workout comfortably at home extensively.
Propostruss zi can by a commercial grade cable machine with this kind of money money
The flywheel do exentric training like all the other flywheels;
Great machine but the tablet that comes with it has tons of issues and you can ONLY use the fusion app with that tablet, I would not buy this machine based on the frustrations with the sub par tablet. I'v had the machine for over a year.
100% why I am returning mine
@@centipedelegz I manually downloaded the Fusion CST application as a .apk file from some random website (yeah, sketch, but it's the only way) and installed it on a new Samsung S6 Lite. Went from constant buffering and an unusable experience that I highly, highly regretted to immediately getting through a class with no hiccups. Your mileage may vary but now I have hope for this thing again.
@@morrack1 I'll try that, please update on experience
@@wesleyforman8391 Still working great for me, thank goodness. Now I need to lock this tablet down to never receive system updates :)
@@morrack1 same here. Got another 10" just to do this .
To think that a few pairs of dumbbells cost much less and are far more effective in building up the body and trimming down body fat.
Why the fuck is it more than twice the price in Europe?
2 grand for rope and pulleys. Some steel thrown in for weight. No thanks. Plus the monthly fee which costs more than Netflix.
Netflix won’t get you fit.
@@EmilioYoutub1985 based on the v videos of these things breaking and all the parts on ebay, this likely won't after a year.
Better buy rubber band
I’ll bet you the Tonal is better and their customer service reputation in 1000x better than NordicTrack. I love my Tonal.
That's great. We have heard great things about the Tonal and would love to try it out but haven't gotten our hands on one yet.
Welp.. her Excitement Completely Talked me out of it!
This uses electromagnets to control tension? EMF exposure isnt healthy.
Oh wow $2000 plus having to pay 15 a month this is just stupid who the hell would pay that for something you can do at a local gym or even slowly build your own gym. Or do alternative techniques that don't require your hard earned money and will make you more rugged in the long run. This is for people who ant soft hands but want to LOOK tough. Go do REAL workouts!! Its good for elderly and rich people i guess but man theres SO many more options. Its like buying an IPHONE11 top model instead of just looking around and doing research getting a way better android. Lol
She’s not in Shape
Nevermind...your not speaking clear enough...
