About the Resistance
The NordicTrack ACT uses the SMR™ Silent Magnetic Resistance for 20 levels of resistance that can be changed by the touch of a button.  The different levels of resistance help to build muscle strength and stamina over the workout.

About the Stride Length

The NordicTrack ACT commercial elliptical trainer comes with an 18" to 22" stride length. The variable stride length will accommodate both shorter and taller users. 

Warranty Information
NordicTrack offers a lifetime warranty on the frame a one year warranty for parts and in-home service on the ACT elliptical trainer.  The warranty is average at best and an extended warranty would be recommended.


Conclusion
The NordicTrack ACT elliptical trainer includes a lot of great features for an exercise machine that falls under the $1000 price umbrella. Two of the shining features for this elliptical trainer are the built-in iFit workout technology and the 20 iFit personal trainers workouts that are included with this machine.  However there are a few other key features that make this elliptical trainer worth considering. 

One of the standout features for the NordicTrack A.C.T elliptical trainer is the adjustable stride length that ranges from 18 inches to 22 inches.  The adjustable stride length up to 22 inches is not common for budget elliptical trainers and the benefit passed on to the consumer is that it will accommodate both the shorter and taller users.   Also the compact design of the NordicTrack ACT elliptical will benefit those that are limited in space.  Most elliptical trainers consume a lot of space and the 47 inch length of the NordicTrack ACT elliptical trainer frees up a lot of space when compared to other machines.  NordicTrack uses a center drive on the ACT elliptical trainer and this is the reason why they can create an elliptical that has a small footprint yet still comes with a good stride length.

The reviews for this elliptical trainer are pretty good.  There are some complaints that the machine is "bulky" even though it is only 47 inches long.  You may have to disassemble the exerciser if you need to move it from one room to another.  The NordicTrack ACT is also marketed as a commercial quality elliptical trainer but there are some customer comments, even on NordicTrack's website, complaining that the machine is a little noisy for some users.  For the most part most consumers have commented on how sturdy and well built this elliptical trainer is.  Overall it is a good machine for the price and well worth considering for anyone looking for a good quality elliptical trainer for under $1000.
