Most newer NordicTrack models boast long stride lengths starting around 18″-20″ which for most users provides enough of a challenge without becoming too much of a strain. Some NordicTrack elliptical trainers include even longer strides like the NordicTrack A.C.T. Commercial Review which has an impressive 22″ stride length. Moving into the higher end models Nordic Track even offer a few incline ellpiticals with a variable stride that reaches 35″ letting users not only push the limits of their stride but easily target different muscle groups by switching to a shorter stride. Nordic Track elliptical reviews from customers tend to report a comfortable, natural motion that fits their body and feels smooth, which is partially thanks to a good stride length.
Appealing to a home market NordicTrack elliptical use a SpaceSaver design that allows them to fold up which general saves around 3 feet of floor space. This feature alone can play a big part in the purchasing decision since no matter your budget or preferences in features the elliptical trainer has to fit in a home.
Recent NordicTrack models include built-in speakers that can play music from an iPod or other MP3 player. The quality of the speakers vary depending on the price range of the machine.

NordicTrack elliptical trainers may rate fairly well in terms of sturdiness, but the components tend to be mediocre at best. NordicTrack usually only offers 1 year warranties on parts and labor for most of their elliptical trainers, which isn’t a strong statement about their longevity.
