Unfit? The NordicTrack Elliptical CX 938 changes that into iFit in an instant. As if the 10 built-in workouts aren't enough, you gain access to what amounts to a personal trainer with the iFit workout card. While the programs are fine, the CX 938 NordicTrack Elliptical unfortunately comes with some sub-standard parts and features, not expected from such an upmarket brand.
Resistance Range: Nordictrack Ellipticals are known for their smooth, fluid action, thanks to the Silent Magnetic Resistance system. This frictionless engineering allows you to change the intensity of your training instantly without disrupting your pace. Ten levels are available, giving enough options for every fitness range.
Feedback Fun: Irrespective of your height, you will enjoy viewing the data feed of the ClearView Backlit console. The easy-to-read 7" x 10" LCD Matrix enables you to keep a close eye on everything from distance, to speed, time, calories burned, carbs burned, resistance level used, pulse rate and RPM's. There is also a training zone indicator which tells you whether you are in a warm up, aerobic, endurance or performance state.
Heart Rate Happenings: Monitoring your pulse rate doesn't get much easier than using the CardioGrip Pulse Sensors of the NordicTrack CX 938 Elliptical Machine. Situated on the handrail, you simply grip these to get an accurate account of your pulse rate. You don't need the inconvenience of wires or other attachments. Making sure that you stay within your target training zone, will show impressive dividends in terms of fat-burning, weight loss and aerobic performance.
Program Parameters: Simply choose one of eight smart workouts and your trainer automatically adjusts the incline and resistance accordingly. You can focus on aerobic training or weight loss. Alternatively opt for the two pulse-driven programs for maximum controlled cardio conditioning.
Weight Capacity: The NordicTrack Elliptical CX 938 Trainer carries up to 250 pounds in user weight.
General Feel: The oversized pedals are comfortable and you are sure to find the perfect foot placement for your needs. Utilize the AutoBreeze Fan with its four settings to keep you cool during your workouts. Your machine again automatically adjusts the fan according to your speed. The stride length is an acceptable 18 inches.
This isn't the most robust trainer in the NordicTrack store. It can suffice if you are a beginner and need it for moderate use. However, if you plan to do serious marathon training, save up for something tougher than the CX 938 NordicTrack Elliptical Trainer.
