Bad points

Comments

• The AudioStrider 990 elliptical is one of those examples where the starting price ($999) is fairly reasonable so when it goes on sale for a hundred or two hundred less, it makes for a impressively good deal. Although not the most solidly constructed, the AudioStrider is a solid contender for the segment of the market that wants a little more than an entry level elliptical. 

Develop a better body with one of NordicTrack's innovative ellipticals.  Experience the NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 Elliptical's features including an 18" to 22" stride length. Your stride can be adjusted from 18" to 22" as the incline increases up to 30%. It lets you work more of your muscles and burn more calories so you maximize the use of the equipment. The workouts are also better because it has 20 personal trainer workouts, 2 heart rate workouts, and 2 learned programs that you can actually personalize.

The 1-Touch workout programming lets you choose your preferred exercise with just 1 touch of a button. Other features include a plug-in for your mp3 player. You can now exercise and listen to music through its high-end speaker and subwoofer components. The Intermix Acoustics Sound System is integrated into the console for your ultimate listening experience.  

This elliptical also has a Carb Counter, a club design CardioGrip heart rate monitor, 1-Touch workout programming, AutoBreeze fan, IFit Workout Card Technology, high-resolution Grafixx display, upper-body workout arms with soft grips, 1-Touch resistance, 30-degree motorized power ramp, SMR, and SpaceSaver design.
