It is an inductive load and it will cause interference, However i your usuing your nordic track at different times you use your computer it is not a problem. Just turn off your computer when your using your treadmill.

Wattage, to be specific. I wouldn't put too big a load on an older house's wiring. Check the power needs for both appliances. Wattage, to be specific.
