You can get free AirPods when you buy a NordicTrack exercise machine

Add as a preferred source on Google

Now through January 31, Abt Electronics is offering free Apple AirPods 2 with the purchase of select equipment from NordicTrack and Pro-Form. This is in addition to any sales on the equipment itself, and we think it’s a great way to keep to your New Year’s resolutions, especially if they centered around getting or staying fit.

Residents of the Chicago area have long known Abt as the place to go for great deals. Outside of Chicago, however, not many know of the retailer. The company has attempted to change that over the years with some eye-popping deals on all kinds of electronics, and its latest deals on NordicTrack and Pro-Form fitness equipment is no exception.

The Best Deals

While there aren’t too many discounts available on equipment that are eligible for the promotion, we were able to spot a few that have some pretty substantial discounts. We spotted the Pro-Form 945 CE Elliptical on sale for $728, a $572 discount.  One of the company’s mid-range models, the 945CE features a 5-inch LCD display and works with the company’s iFit fitness training app via Bluetooth. A one-year iFit subscription is included in the price.

Also on sale is the Pro-Form Premier 700 Treadmill,  also iFit-enabled. Normally a $1,000 treadmill, Abt has this model marked down to $899. With iFit, the treadmill can automatically sync speed and incline to simulate running through wherever you’d like to go. Using Google Maps, you plan out the route, upload it to iFit, and the treadmill does the rest. The Premier 700 has a top incline of 12% and a top speed of 12mph, more than enough for even experienced runners.

Again, even though these are on sale, they’re still eligible for the AirPods 2 promotion (and there’s free shipping too). There are several other well-reviewed models from both Nordic Track and Pro-Form that are also available. We’ve listed the best below.

Ellipticals


Of the ellipticals, the Pro-Form models are the best reviewed. We’d especially recommend you take a look at the tech-packed CardioHIIT Trainer Elliptical as it’s packed with a lot of extra functionality and tech at a reasonable price.

Treadmills

There are treadmills from both NordicTrack and Pro-Form that are eligible for the promotion. We’d recommend you check out either the NordicTrack Commercial 2450 or ProForm Smart Pro 5000 treadmills. Both offer the iFit interactive training service, and include large built-in LCD screens so you won’t need to fumble with your phone during your workout.

Exercise Bikes

A few exercise bikes are available with Abt’s promotion, including the well-reviewed S22i bike with its insanely big 22-inch touchscreen. But there are much cheaper options to choose from as well.

Starfish-inspired patch solves key issues for wearable heart sensors
Heart rate sensor inspired by Starfish.

The domain of wearable devices has grown by leaps and bounds, not just in terms of mass adoption, but also owing to some astounding innovations. Wearable heart rate sensors can now measure everything from heart rate and blood oxygen levels to ECG in form factors ranging from a watch to finger rings.

These sensors, however, come with an inherent set of problems. Motion artifacts arising from movement or vigorous activity alter the blood flow and affect their accuracy. Optical heart rate sensors (photoplethysmography or PPG tech) also struggle with darker skin tones, tattoos, or even body placement.

You Asked: What’s the most impressive thing you saw at CES?
You Asked CES Editors Cut

On today’s special edition of You Asked, we tracked down each of our editors and put them on the spot to find out what they thought was the most impressive thing they saw at CES 2025 in Early January. Let’s find out what they had to say.
Panasonic Z95B

There’s been some really cool TV tech at CES, but the thing I’m most excited about is the new Panasonic Z95B. Instead of the regular OLED display structure we’ve seen in recent years with MLA technology, this uses a four-layer panel structure. It features individual red, green, and blue layers (two of the latter) for the emissive light.
