The Bottom Line
The NordicTrack A.C.T. Commercial Elliptical trainer is a well-priced trainer when you look at the design and drive system, but it does lack when it comes to adjustable features. However, if you are looking for a trainer that is well-built, quiet, and easy to store, and still center drive designed, this trainer is your best bet in the entire series. At $1,000 cheaper than the trainer just above it, if you are not looking for too many advanced entertainment options, this trainer is a great option. It still comes with iFit but it does lack a full color touch screen. The bottom line is that this trainer is a great deal but it could use more adjustable features as a compromise to the lack of advanced entertainment features of the other trainers in the series.
