Question:
I’ve been shopping around the local fitness stores testing various ellipticals, but have yet to find anything that really stands out (I’ve seen primarily pro-forms, horizons, and nordic tracks).
Online, I have been reading good things about the Schwinn 418 and the Ironman 600e.
Another model that catches my interest is the Lifecore Fitness 990.

Does anyone have experience with this company/model? It appears to be very sturdy (up to 350lbs), rear drive, and in the price range of the front-drive models that I’ve seen. However, there is little press on the company/model.
Answer:
You missed the boat. Surely you noticed the ones you mention, the Proforms, horizons, etc. all shared one trait, they looked like a little kids toy bike compared to the Nordick Tracks which looked like Lance’s bike? The others have 1″ tubular steel, the Nordic Track has 4″ x 5″ square tubing? The others had almost no electronics, the NT 910 has all the bells and whistles. The crappy ones a 3 month warranty, the NT 910 a one year in-home warranty. Get a clue.
