Nordic Track X16 Elliptical is a fabulous machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been researching Elliptical machines for 1-2 months when I saw an ad on Facebook for the X16. The deciding factor in my decision to purchase was it's ability to be an elliptical, a stepper, or a treadmill. And after having it for a month now, I can honestly say it is the smoothest, best machine I have ever worked out on. And the I-Fit subscription makes each workout session so entertaining. Very nice machine and I'm glad I bought it.

New purchase 2026 X16

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Feb 2026, Great machine. Do not forget to take into consideration the travel distance during use. When stationary the foot print is relatively small. Heavy box, open in garage, take parts to the assembly area (heavy and cumbersome) once together. Assembly is easier with two people, not too technical. Nice cup holder, could use a device holder

Worthwhile investment

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been trying to exercise more, and I just couldn't get into the habit. I have trouble with my knees and walking/running would hurt, and I would take a break and the cycle would start again. The elliptical allows me to put my legs and arms without straining my knees. I didn't think I would want the iFit training programs, but those have actually helped me workout out everyday. It's a big investment, but I'm on 20 days straight of working out 20-30 minutes each day.

The X16 Elliptical is one

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The X16 Elliptical is one of the smoothest machines I have ever been on. I recommend you get this machine to work out with. I Ifit is a good tool to workout with cause it keeps you motivated throughout the workout.

Versatile machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the versatility of the stride. I’m 6’3 and wife is 5’9 and it works well for both of us. Ifit makes it really fun to use with the guided workouts that adjust incline and speed automatically.

Great purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are so happy with this purchase and use the machine daily. We’ve had one issue in the past year of ownership, one of the rubber belts frayed to the point that it had to be replaced. The part was still under warranty and NordicTrack made the whole process easy.

I love it, it's perfect at my workout speeds of 4mph to 6mph!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this machine. It is super smooth and quiet. It's best feature is the free moving stride, allowing your stride to increase or decrease automatically based on the user, your speed, and how you want to move at the time. So why 4 stars and not 5? To be fair, for me and the way I use it, it's a perfect 5. But I'm a bit older these days and don't run as fast as I used to. I like to run at a pace around 4mph, pushing it up to around 6mph when sprinting. My old self, would have pushed both those speeds up 2 to 3 mph. And that's where this machine falls down. Anything much over 6mph, no matter how I try to shorten my stride or adjust my technique, and the stride goes too long, banging into the base like a drum. So. . . if you're happy running 6mph or under, like me. . . You will absolutely LOVE this machine! I do!. If you are someone who likes to really open up the speed on a regular basis, then I can't recommend it for you.

Verified Purchase

Poor quality for price point

Do not buy this. The handles bang hard if you try to go fast. I have had it for one week and the display has already needed reset twice because it lost connection with the machine and the sound was not working. I overlooked this with my old Ifit bike because I like the Ifit software when it works and I paid $500 for my old Ifit bike. At this price point I expected more. If you intend to go at a slower pace, you may be fine, but the banging starts at around 40 RPM which is less than the beginner running workout I am trying to complete. The machine is heavy. It arrived very well packed. The instructions were good. The included tools and hardware were good. The banging and jenky tech are just laziness on behalf of Nordictrack. Unacceptable.

worthless unless you pay monthly fees

i bought nordictrack x16 because it was supposed to be for short people it is a lot bigger than advertised. They showed a girl moving it but it takes 2 people. i use manual mode so i was disappointed that you can't use apps like Netflix without paying ifit over $300 a year to get access to it which you shouldn't have to pay to use an app you already have to pay for to use. Honestly i would have bought something alot cheaper if i new i couldn't use console without subscription

Appalling purchase experience

Probably the worst buying experience i have had, machine arrived damaged due to poor packing, wrong replacement parts were supplied by manufacturer 3 times. When finally operational the machine repeatedly dropped network connection despite an excellent signal. Note here Ifit settled a class action law suit for this issue earlier this year. Add to this debacle the fact that you need to buy an Ifit pro subscription at $40 per month in order to fully utilize the machine with guided workouts, their “train” version works on older ifit capable machines for $15 per month !!. Even working with their customer service escalation group did not resolve the connectivity issue and so the machine will be returned. If you want to avoid major frustration keep well clear of Ifit brands such as Nordic Trac, Pro Form etc.
