The other Commercial Pathfinder Elliptical is much older. We’re reviewing the newer one here. This newer Commercial Pathfinder Elliptical by Nordictrack is at the time of review, the only Elliptical that we’re aware of that comes with the iFit Live module. Whereas the other Ellipticals require you to shell out an extra (though a price drop is likely in the works) for the module that allows you to make use of the iFit Live module, this Elliptical includes it as part of the purchase. Compared to the older Commercial Pathfinder, this newer version is much improved with extra features without the extra cost. Unfortunately, if you’re a fan of Elliptical fans, this one doesn’t come with one. Take your workout to the next level using the NordicTrack Pathfinder Elliptical!

Good points: clean, nice and easy to use console iFit capable so can download new workout programs to your Elliptical iPod compatible so you can listen to music that plays directly from your Elliptical cushioning system helps reduce negative impacts to your Elliptical compared to running outside on the pavement 15 workout programs is a generous number for a Elliptical in this price range motor and frame warranty is lifetime the CardioGrip heart rate monitor may not be accurate weight of the machine is 190 lbs so runners heavier than the machine may not feel the Elliptical is stable enough to run on potential problems with the motor that may not be sufficiently powered to power the belt parts warranty is short at 1 year no fans Good points: Incline training at up to 40% is the main selling point of this Elliptical Endorsed by “Biggest Loser” celebrity due to its ability to help users get results Air fans iPod compatible iFit card technology enabled Belt is short at only 50″ (though the deck is 54″) which means high speed running is probably a bad idea Expensive since there are so few incline trainers available on the market Comments: **Black Friday deal update: We’ve never seen this incline trainer sell for so low a price. If you’re looking for an incline trainer without the newly introduced iFit Live system, this is one heck of a deal. The main selling point of the Nordictrack Incline Trainer Pathfinder is of course, the steep incline. The Elliptical by itself without the extended incline option is good but not extraordinary so a price of is certainly not justified. But since the Pathfinder is one of a kind, to some, the price is justifiable. Overall, the best incline trainer out there simply because there just aren’t a lot of incline trainers out there.
