[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The machine itself is great. It is worth paying the money to have the team do the set up, it would have been way too complicated to do on my own. The machine is slightly taller than anticipated, so not good for rooms with low ceiling heights. My biggest drawback is that the iFit video is not as intuitive as I would have hoped for a subscription model. I think the machine does not have enough "easy to use" offline programs of intervals, etc. so make certain that you have good Wi-Fi access.

We recently upgraded our 2020 era elliptical to the new X16 and we do enjoy the larger screen and the ability to stream Netflix, etc while on it. I also appreciate the tilting the machine does when going downhill or uphill to make it seem like real life activities. That being said, there are a few things that I still scratch my head about. 1) Bummer that you can’t really watch all your streaming apps on the platform, only a few. 2) There is not a shelf to place a phone or tablet on. 3) the screen does pivot, but it’s not a 360 etc pivot, more like a slight up and down pivot. 4) I have had issues with my headphones connecting to the trainer audio with this newer software. 5) The thing thinks I’ve made a “smart adjustment” when I haven’t touched anything. Do I think it’s a good upgrade, yeah. Do I think it’s a necessary upgrade? Depends on what the new features are worth to you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a well-designed and constructed machine. We replaced a Norditrac that served us for 20 years. I really like the ability to change elevation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had used treadmill for exercise for decades but when feet bones developed issues, I switched to elliptical and feet are doing much better.

[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.

The elliptical makes a lot of noise, on triage fly wheel was broken. Attempted to have the “service” team repair it. Worked for 2 days, now the creaking is worse. Appears to have major problems with flywheels per the repair tech. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Still waiting for them to repair!

Took a while for my wife and daughter to get used to the stride and height of the machine. Thankful we have 9 foot ceilings on our first floor or we’d be bumping our heads. Didn’t realize it would be so tall. We have noticed a squeak when working out on the right side where the handle connects to the upright support. It was occasional at first but has become more regular with use. I believe it is in the pivot point that connects the upper arm to the lower leg bar. Seems to be coming from where it rotates at the upper support bar. The machine is stable and not rocking-just squeaking. Otherwise the girls enjoy the machine. I have only used it a couple times. I mainly use my Nordictrack Step Climber XL.

I bought this so I could do elliptical and my wife could do treadmill, when research it doesn’t say anything about it is just a motion change. I thought you would use a selection but to change the motion. So now in the middle of using you lose the motion you were doing. And now I find out I cannot pair my IPhone to it to listen to meetings I have recorded. SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE SOLE MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It takes a little time to get comfortable with the NordicTrack X16, but once your body develops some muscle memory and your core adjusts to maintaining stability, the workouts become much more enjoyable. Compared to traditional ellipticals, this machine engages a wider range of muscles, which really helps improve overall strength and balance - especially important as you move into your 50s and beyond. The transition from a standard elliptical took me a few weeks, but now that I’ve learned how to use it properly, I can really feel the benefits. My workouts feel more complete, and I can tell it’s targeting muscles my old machine never reached. The only downside is that cool-downs can be a bit tricky to perform smoothly, but that’s a small trade-off for the overall results.
