As one of the most popular Nordic Track ellipticals, the Audiostrider 990 got a nice revamp in 2010 in this new Pro model. With a new frame and slightly new design, the biggest difference is “under the hood” with an improved flywheel design that is heavier than the previous model, making training on the Audiostrider 990 Pro much more smoother and the machine much more stable. Switching between resistance levels is easy with the 1-touch buttons and transitions are smooth and with more than 16 levels of resistance it offers a wide range for both beginner and more advanced workouts.

It offers 2 settings for stride length with an 18’’ and 20’’ option to accommodate taller users. The machine itself can adjust to an incline of 30 degrees. This is great to vary the intensity of the workout and also to involve different muscles groups in your workout.

It comes programmed with 25 workout routines and although the iFIT is not included as standard, its fully compatible with the NordicTrack iFIT technology. The console has an iPOD dock with a built in cooling fan to keep you cool during heavy workouts.

It comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame and 1 year for parts and labor. Although its quite a big machine, I like the fact that it has a storage “mode” that can save you as much as 3 feet.
