Our Review: NordicTrack C 7.5 Elliptical

The NordicTrack C 7.5 Elliptical Trainer falls in the budget elliptical class, which means it is best suited for moderate use and moderate weight individuals. That said, this is one of the better ellipticals you will find at $799. It is reasonable stable and offers a smooth elliptical motion.

So what’s the big difference between this model and NordicTrack’s other front drive ellipticals? The higher price models include better warranties, Android browser displays that can access the Internet as you work out and heavier flywheels to provide stability for larger people. That said, if you budget is limited the C 7.5 should be a consideration.  Or if you are considering a low-end elliptical trainer you may want to increase your budget and get machine that will provide a better ergonomic workout, be more stable and durable and offer better standard features.
