NOT an ordinary elliptical

I was looking for an elliptical trainer that both my husband (6'2") and I (5'7") could use. This is NOT that machine. There is not an easy way to change to the varied options (treadmill/elliptical/climber). I wish I had purchased a different machine. Unfortunately this nevery gets used at our house.

X16

My previous had the 7" screen, so the bigger screen is nice, but the software is buggy, losing the trainer volume and latency issues when using the touchscreen resistance or physical buttons on the arms. Maybe because I've started training more than I was with the last one, but seems a little less stable as well, though it doesn't feel like it will tip. Not sure why they didn't make the screen rotate.

Durable elliptical

This elliptical is durable and well made. My wife and I have done numerous workouts on this machine and it works great. The machine is good because it has so many features and can be used as a treadmill as well. This machine is compatible with the iFit workout program which has many videos that are helpful to follow when working out. I wrote this review as an incentive.

X16 Review

I am enjoying the new X16. However, it is nothing like a normal elliptical. You can find a rhythm but it is difficult to to keep it. It is sort of neat that you can change your stride to different types of steps but it is also difficult to keep a particular stride. I also find it hard to get any speed on this machine. striding it is hard to go over about 45 rpm and stair stepping I can get to maybe 55. My old elliptical I could go to 75-80 rpm. I find that IFIT is okay, but listening to the 'coaching' is boring. they just seem to ramble on about things that are not interesting. Also, on IFIT, the target RPM is dumb. . Sometimes the target is 13 and often it is only 20 at most. I can't even walk that slow. I can get a good workout on the machine, but it is unlike anything I have ever been on.

Doesn't Hurt My Knees!

I'm 6'5", 210-pounds with bad knees, I’ve struggled to find a cardio machine that doesn’t hurt my knees- and this one doesn't. It’s sturdy, smooth, and fully supports my size without any issues. I love the iFit workouts; they make cardio enjoyable, and the ability to stream Netflix or Amazon Prime is a great bonus. I’ve lost almost 100 pounds over the past year, and this elliptical has helped me stay on track without aggravating my knees. Highly recommended! This review was incentivized.

I want to love it, but….

I ordered this new X16 to replace a Nordictrack Elliptical I’ve had for almost 20 years. It’s definitely quieter and pretty smooth until you try to switch between step, glide and run. One has to almost stop moving to switch functions which defeats the purpose of the workout. Also, at increased resistance and incline the steps will not move which is annoying when you are working out with a trainer and they increase the incline/resistance but yet the machine won’t move - this defeats the purpose of the workout! Also, why in the world would Nordictrack not put a stationary bar on this machine to allow one to step onto it? I’m 5’6” and the steps are fairly high on the machine. Not only are the steps high they also move when you get on the machine and without a stationary bar to hold onto this becomes a safety issue. So I wanted to love this machine to replace one that was almost 20 years old however I will most likely be sending it back.

Great Machine!

This is more than your typical elliptical machine! I love how it has free, independently moving pedals so that you can easily adjust your stride. It also utilizes the iFit program which has tons of amazing workouts that keep me engaged. It's easy on my knees, which is a big plus. This is an incentivized review.

Smooth!

This elliptical has a really smooth motion. It feels like gliding, not clunky like some other machines. The stride length is great too, really comfortable. I could stay on this thing for hours. Working out on this machine is a breeze. This machine's advanced technology is truly remarkable. Its innovative features offer a seamless and efficient experience. The precision and performance are truly impressive. It's clear that a great deal of expertise went into its development. This technology represents a significant advancement in the field. I was given this product for a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

X16 Elliptical

I just upgraded to the new x16 elliptical from the FS7. It is the same size and function as the older model but with new features that greatly improve the experience using the machine. The bigger screen is fantastic! The incline and resistance controls on the handles are also a big improvement. My wife and I both use the machine daily and are very happy with our new machine.
