NordicTrack FreeStride Trainer FS9i Review

The NordicTrack FreeStride Trainer FS9i represents the ultimate in low impact exercise and tops the FreeStride range with a large, web enabled, touch screen and power operated decline.

The NordicTrack FreeStride Trainer FS9i

The NordicTrack FreeStride Trainer FS9i is the flagship model in this unique range of exercise machines. It adds a larger (10″) web-enabled touch screen, extra programs, extra resistance levels, and a decline facility over the less expensive FS7i model.

Just like the other models in this range, this trainer combines the functions of three different exercise machines in one piece of equipment. In essence, this single machine is able to emulate the functionality of a stepper, a treadmill, and an elliptical.

Featuring a floating suspension design, the trainer allows strides up to 38 inches. This allows the user to take short up-and-down steps, smooth elliptical-like strides, or stretch a wide running gait. Additionally, the incline can be adjusted to target specific muscle groups.

The trainer is iFIT enabled. You can access specialized workouts, track your progress, customize your training, and run anywhere in the world using Google Maps. Please note that this feature requires a home wireless internet connection and a subscription to iFIT, which is sold separately.

Other highlights include a web-enabled touch screen, incline/decline functionality, integrated hand controls, a wireless chest strap, a cooling fan, oversized cushion pedals, and a sound system with iPod connectivity.

The machine is covered by a warranty that offers a lifetime warranty on the frame, 5 years on all parts, and 2 years of labor.

It’s available at a discounted price from NordicTrack.
