Product review:

About the Resistance
The NordicTrack E5 Si elliptical trainer uses the SMR™ Silent Magnetic Resistance for up to 10 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 E5 Si elliptical trainer comes with an 18" stride length. The stride length will accommodate that are average height and under users but may be too short for taller users.  Anyone over 6 feet in height will need to look at a longer stride length that starts around 20" and up.

About the Workout Programs
The NordicTrack E5 Si elliptical trainer comes with the 4 personal trainer workouts and 2 heart rate workouts.  The built-in workouts automatically adjust the resistance levels to increase the intensity level of the workout.  The E5 Si also offers a 1-touch workout program where you can select your workout with a single touch of a button.

 

About the iFIT Workout Card
Each iFit workout card is designed by a personal trainer to automatically adjust your workout settings giving you the most out of your workout.  The iFit card plugs directly into the console and automatically adjust the elliptical settings to enhance the workout. 

About the iPod universal Dock
For those that prefer to workout without a headset the iPod dock allows you to plug in your iPod or MP3 player and play your music through the elliptical trainer's built-in speakers.


Warranty Information
NordicTrack offers a lifetime warranty on the frame a one year warranty for parts and in-home service on the FreeMotion s5.8 elliptical trainer.  The warranty is marginal at best and an extended warranty would be recommended.
 


Conclusion
The NordicTrack E5 Si is a good elliptical trainer that falls at the top of the budget price range.  The elliptical trainer comes with a lot of great features like the iFit workout card technology, upper-body workout arms and universal iPod dock.  The elliptical is not perfect and the 18 inch stride length will alienate those that are over 6 feet tall.  A longer stride length of around 20 inches and above would be needed for anyone that is 6 feet or taller.

The original price of around $999 is a little expensive when compared to some of of the other elliptical trainers that NordicTrack has to offer.  However, the NordicTrack E5 Si is no longer available but may be available at a discount on sites like eBay.  You can access eBay now by clicking on the banner below.
