Best machine I've ever used!!
By Steve (Atlanta, GA) on Mar 25, 2009
I've had mine for 15+ years and wish I used it more consistently. Best exercise I've found for burning calories and not stressing the knees!! I've lost 30 lbs using it in the last few months.

Excellent
By Skylar (Phila, PA) on Apr 2, 2009
Excellent piece of workout equipment. I have used basically everything, and always come back to Nordic track. Gained a lot of weight in college and took off 45 pounds using the Nordic track skier. Legs and arms toned up tremendously. Blood pressure lowered as well as heart rate. Don't waste money on... (Read more)

good machine but too much maintenance
By Morgaine (New York, NY) on Apr 9, 2009
I bought the nordic ski machine in Aug. 2008. The bottom ski's started shrieking in November. The user's guide and nordic customer service says not to lubricate the roller so I didn't. Fought with customer service to get it fixed. They wouldn't send service man even though I have extended warranty. ... (Read more)

Good service but not the right machine for me
By Timus (Powder Springs, GA) on Apr 9, 2009
I got the skier. It was pretty easy to assemble. I had a hard time using it because one of the rollers was sticking. I called customer service and they sent me another roller with no problem. Installing the new roller was pretty straight forward and took maybe 10 minutes. But I never really cau... (Read more)

Very good machine but needs some improvement
By Mr. G. (Seattle, WA) on Apr 9, 2009
In general the machine is what is expected. Acceptable workmanship all around. I have been using the machine for a long time daily 30 minutes at a good pace. I have previously a similar machine from a competitor that finally I wore out. I consider the cross country style machine the best exercis... (Read more)

great workout
By sj, Occupational Therapist (Davenport, IA) on Apr 10, 2009
I really love my skiier! It offers a great workout and helped me get into shape before downhill skiing this season. I have a history of joint problems (elbows and hips) and the skiier doesn't bother my joints at all, great non-impact exercise!

I just bought my second one!
By none (Colorado) on Apr 10, 2009
I have had ...and used..a nordik track since 1990. I LOVE it. Having just purchased the second one I have to say this unit is not it's predecessor. The fly wheel chatters and the skis are super noisy. And this one was replaced once..the first I was shipped had to go bad due to defects. Not the quali... (Read more)

I Have Used Them All and This is the Best
By Indoorskier (Washington, DC) on Apr 11, 2009
I bought my first one in 1987 and have used one or another model ever since, at least several times a week. The unique skiing motion strengthens the core, curing a lower back problem I had, and for getting a high intensity aerobic workout in half an hour without stressing the joints, nothing else c...

Everything you need to stay in shape!
By happyface (Iowa) on Apr 25, 2009
Ihave owned and used my cross country skier for about 15 years, and love it! I have not had any problems with it, and when I use it 30 minutes a day, it does keep my weight off and my body toned, without any impact on my joints!

Great exercise to help bad knees
By Peter (Washington DC) on Apr 26, 2009
I'm a 41 year old Marine with bad knees and I think this is a great compliment to other forms of exercise such as biking and swimming, and modern ellipticals. I wish there was one of these in my gym. I have two at home.

Simply Built, Good Customer Care
By Richard (San Diego, CA) on Apr 27, 2009
The Classic Pro is a great workout. I like the way it is simply built, meaning that I will be able to order parts and make repairs myself as the machine ages. The drive rollers make a lot of noise. I have had each one replaced. One stayed quiet, but the other over a short time has become just as noi... (Read more)

Just right for my patients!
By Dr. Daryl (Whittier, Ca.) on Jun 14, 2009
As a Chiropractor and Occupational Therapist, I've used the Nordic Track Excell for years. It's the perfect skier for developing my patient's range of motion, endurance, strength, coordination, and tone. No monitors or fancy gadgets. Just plain ol' fundamentals!!Dr. Daryl Capen

Best FREE Exercise in the WORLD!!
By DJ (Dallas, TX) on Jun 16, 2009
I Love this machine... I had quit using it for a while after a herniated disk in my back had bulged (not from working out), and am back to using it again. It is awesome and is highly recommended to ANYONE that would rather work out at home instead of going to the gym. I didn't have to lube it or an... (Read more)
