Honestly, I was skeptical that I would enjoy the elliptical. We already have a treadmill and a bike and I use those enough to enjoy my workout. As I get older, a busy dad of 3 kids, I was told an elliptical is very low stress on the joints but still delivers a solid workout. All of these are true, but what I didn't expect was the space it took up. It was much less than I realized, fitting into an already tight space that I have. While this is the newest part of my home gym, I expect it to become one of the most used. While this is an incentivized review, it is my honest opinion.

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.

I've been using this elliptical for nearly a month, and it's been a fantastic addition to my fitness routine. It's great for warming up before weight training or getting in some movement after meals. I've also explored the iFit workout videos, which take you through scenic mountain trails, beach paths, and various other terrains — they're super motivating and keep things fresh. One of my favorite features is how the resistance and incline automatically adjust to match the landscape in the video, which makes the experience really immersive. This is an incentivized review, but my feedback is genuine!

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.

Very satisfied! Best experience buying this latest NordicTrack three in one elliptical machine online. Everything so far takes my workouts to the next level. 100% recommend this product!

I like the functionality of this elliptical. You can vary your stride to work the different leg muscles. My calves and thighs were sore after the first time using it and I was already a regular user of another elliptical and a stationary bike.

It has been great but the lack of elliptical fitness programs continues to be an issue. It is nice to see the world but sometimes I want a solid hard elliptical workout. I don't get that from the advanced programs I use now. ⁹

I really enjoy using my new rower. It's comfortable to use, and I appreciate the Prime Video access.

I am thrilled with the X16 Elliptical. It’s quiet and smooth. I look forward to all the benefits I will get from it.
