Comments

• Update (February 13/2010): The Nordictrack ASR 700 is now selling for a rarely seen closeout price of $599. Although there are many other choices that are more not only newer but also more sturdily built, the $599 is an enticing enough price point for those who are looking for a starter home elliptical.
  

  If you're looking for an elliptical that has fitness games to challenge and entertain you at the same time, the ASR 700 by Nordictrack is one possible option. However, Proform's website usually has at least one or two ellipticals that are equipped with games as well that's usually much better priced. Overall, a tad overpriced for my tastes.
