NordicTrack Freestrider 35 S Review
Machine: NordicTrack Freestrider 35 S Elliptical
Overview: The NordicTrack Freestrider 35 S takes the best benefits of incline training and elliptical training and combines them for a high power, low impact workout. The incredible 35” variable stride length doesn’t restrict you to one set stride length, but lets you find your natural stride, regardless of height or ability. It offers the ability to connect with iFit Live if you opt to purchase the iFit Live module. iFit Live adds new levels to your workout experience by integrated with Google Maps, connecting to Facebook and by giving you access to specialized training sessions with pro trainers like Jillian Michaels. Complete a natural workout without interruption thanks to quick touch buttons to switch between 16 resistance levels on the fly and a wireless chest pulse heart rate monitor that doesn’t force you to stop your upper body workout. The oversized, gel cushioned pedals provide a comfortable workout while you push the limits of your stride. Switch up your workouts with 25 programs including 10 performance workouts and 15 target toning workouts. The NordicTrack Freestrider Elliptical keeps you entertained with music played through high quality Interplay speakers from your MP3 player.

Combining incline training with elliptical training provides an extreme, yet low impact workout. With a footpath that’s nearly double most elliptical trainers, the extended motion of the NordicTrack Freestrider 35 S targets core muscles. Since the stride is free, rather than fixed, users of any height or skill level can find a comfortable, efficient stride suited for them. Including 25 workout programs as well as iFit Live capabilities, the NordicTrack Freestrider 35 S offers a lot of options for engaging routines. As is the case with every NordicTrack, the Freestrider 35 S Elliptical offers entertaining extras like built-in speakers, a large LCD display and quick resistance buttons.
Although the NordicTrack Freestrider 35 S elliptical trainer is compatible with the iFit Live module, it’s sold separately, which may make the Freestrider 35 Si a more appealing purchase. While the Freestrider 35 S generally receives great reviews, some customers prefer higher cooling fans rather than a core cooling fan, which is set low.
The NordicTrack Freestrider 35 S Elliptical trainer is a good choice for fitness buffs interested in the extra benefits of incline training without the high impact. It has a lot of the same features as the Freestrider 35 Si except for an included iFit Live module or a iFit.com subscription. If having the latest model with the most bells and whistles isn’t a priority, then this is a better buy.
