Good points: One of the most “entertaining” ellipticals with both fitness games and iPod compatible speakers Reasonable number of workout programs preinstalled and with the option to add additonal programs with the iFit Workout Card technology Relatively short stride length at only 18″ Relatively low weight capacity at only 275 lbs Comments: Update (February 13/2010): The Nordictrack ASR 700 is now selling for a rarely seen closeout price of. Although there are many other choices that are more not only newer but also more sturdily built, the 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.

If this treadmill ever does go on sale for or so, I would still think real hard before putting down my hard earned money.

Good points: Longest stride in the industry at 35″ Belongs to the Freemotion line of ellipticals which is Nordictrack’s home version of commercial ellipticals WireLESS heart rate monitor This elliptical works your core (ab) muscles too More expensive than most models Though it is marketed as one of the more stable and durable models, there’s no track record for this elliptical Comments: The main feature that this elliptical has that the other ellipticals don’t is the long 35″ stride. All the other extra features such as fans, high tech display panel, music port, etc can all be found in lower priced models. The advertised benefits of a more natural arch movement and toning your ab/core muscles though beneficial, might not be worth the extra half a grand or so. Buying this elliptical is not a mistake especially if you’ve worked out previously on other elliptical machines and you’re looking for something a little more sophisticated but for the average beginner, it might be better to downgrade a little.
