The Nordictrack ASR 1000 is selling for an incredible price of $699. This is $200 than when we first reviewed it a few months ago. Although the Nordictrack ASR 1000 may not be the best overall elliptical in terms of quality of construction and feature specifications, the $699 is an amazing price. There may be a possibility that Nordictrack is trying to clear up space for their newer 2010 models so they're letting the older models go at a discounted price.

****Original Review

Another featured packed elliptical. Arguably the elliptical with the most features. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell how well this elliptical will hold up under regular use. With a 275 pound weight capacity, you can assume that it's just average in the quality department. But it does comes with a one year warranty for parts and labor. For shelling out $899, this is the major blemish to an otherwise outstanding elliptical. 

Develop the body you want with the innovative NordicTrack ASR1000 Pro. This elliptical elevates exercising to a whole new level by adding life to your usual workout experience. Get yourself going as you work out to your favorite tunes just by plugging in your iPod or mp3 player. Feel the music and the high-quality sound from its built-in sound system.

With the iFit Workout Card Technology, you can now have your very own personal trainer at home. You are prompted by the voice of a Certified Personal Trainer guiding you throughout the workout. You can also take advantage of its 4 weight-loss workouts where you could actually select the number of calories you want to burn, choose the duration, and the program does the rest. With this feature, you get to maximize burning excess calories. This elliptical also has a backlit display so it is easier for you to see your results.

The NordicTrack ASR1000 PRO comes with a book rack so you don't miss out on your favorite book even while exercising. It also has a water bottle holder for added convenience. It can accommodate weights of up to 300 lbs. Other features include a Club Design CardioGrip heart rate monitor, oversized pedals, digital resistance of up to 20, and an 18" stride length.
