NordicTrack Elliptical Reviews 2024 - Expert Ratings of Top Models

5.0 / 5.0

NordicTrack began back in 1975 as a fitness company specializing in skier machines (which are still offered for sale today, in case you’re wondering!)

The success of the ski machines allowed them to expand and start manufacturing other low impact machines like the elliptical. Soon after they began to get into the world of treadmills as well. NordicTrack Elliptical Reviews - 2024 NordicTrack AirGlide 14i

In the late 90’s, ICON Health and Fitness, one of the world’s largest exercise equipment manufacturers, saw an opportunity and purchased the NordicTrack brand. After the takeover by ICON, NordicTrack has thrived, and today it is one of the most successful brands on the market.

There has been a remarkable change over the past few years in the quality of the equipment that NordicTrack has to offer. They have used technology to their advantage to manufacture and produce ellipticals and treadmills that are an excellent value to the buyer.

For the money, you won’t find a machine with more features and capabilities than NordicTrack provides.

They have also started using more quality parts in their machines in the last 5 years, but the prices haven’t skyrocketed like they have with some other brands who make that switch.

NordicTrack Ellipticals – The Current Lineup

For 2024, there are a few different series to choose from: FreeStride Trainers, AirGlides and the new X16 Elliptical…

FreeStride Trainers

The FreeStride Trainers are the most popular models, consisting of the FS10i and FS14i, both of which were first introduced in 2020. The lower end FS7i and F9i were both phased out when the newer models were introduced.

These unique center drive ellipticals offer up to an incredible 32″ stride, adjustable inclines (plus decline on the FS14i), advanced touch screen displays and iFit workout technology. Although pricier than the other models, these give you a much more complete workout.

Our favorite model here is the FS10i FreeStride Trainer, as it includes incline up to 10% and an incredible 10″ touch screen display.

Air Glides

The Front Drive Series now consists of the new AirGlide 7i and the AirGlide 14i. The Commercial 9.9 and the Commercial 14.9 have been discontinued in favor of these two new ellipticals.

These ellipticals offer a more compact size along with generous power adjustable 17.8″ to 18.5″ strides, power incline and decline (-5% to 15%) and up to 26 resistance levels.

We like the AirGlide 14i the best of this series, as it gives you the larger touch screen display, incline and decline, and the heavier 32 lb. flywheel.

New X16 Elliptical

The latest model in the lineup, the NordicTrack X16 elliptical is essentially a FreeStride Trainer, but for some reason it doesn’t have the “FS” label that the other models do. The main difference here is a new 16″ tilting touchscreen to help you get the ideal viewing angle. Other than that all of the other features and capabilities are the same.
