If you’re really going for it, it wobbles from side to side, again not a massive issue for me but for some people it might be. The pedals are rubber, and they squeak when I’m wearing one of my pairs of trainers, but that’s not really an issue if you’re listening to or watching something. It’s quite loud and sometimes there’s a clicking sound when the wheel rotates, but I can’t really see why, nor does it do it every time, so that’s a bit annoying. If you want to move it, you’ll probably need another person to help you. Build QualityĪs you’d expect it’s a sturdy machine, and as previously mentioned it’s actually very big, and takes up most of the spare room. There are also integrated speakers, a bottle and tablet holder and lots of other nice touches- all that make this seem more like a quality piece of gym equipment. You follow along with the trainers as they go through the workouts in places of natural beauty all over the world.Īpart from taking in the views during the workout, she says it motivates her to do her next workout and she genuinely looks forward to them.įor anyone who struggles with motivation to train this could be a game changer, it’s certainly helped my wife stick to a routine and work towards her goals (something, like all of us, has struggled with before). Other Features We LikedĪlthough I haven’t signed up for it (my wife has), the iFit programme is amazing. The NordicTrack SpaceSaver SE7i has 22 digital resistance levels and also a max incline of 8 degrees that can all be changed at the touch of a button, so there are a lot of options to really add variety to your workouts. You can also use it in manual mode and do your own thing. There are 24 workouts built into the machine – 12 of them they call ‘calorie workouts’ and 12 they call ‘performance workouts’, so you can choose your workout according to your specific goals. You can also get your heart rate by holding the centre handles. The computer features are as you’d expect, you can see real time updates of distance covered (in miles or kilometres), calories burned, and time you’ve been training. The fan in the centre console is particularly useful if you haven’t got your own fan or air conditioning (which I don’t). The computer controls are easy to navigate, and I’m sure anyone who has used any cardio machines before will have no issues. The pads are also adjustable, so you can a move them to find where they’re most comfortable for you. The foot pads are oversized and soft which reduces the impact on the joints, and I’ve even done a few low intensity workouts in my socks. It has two sets of handles, which I like – I hold the middle ones if I just want to focus on my legs, or the moving ones to the side to give my arms a workout. To look at the machine is really nice, and I like how compact the central display area is. Some useful dimensions I wished I’d looked at before buying!ĭimensions when up – 203L x 81W x 180H cm, Dimensions when folded – 58L x 80W x 193H cm Design But once you’ve done that you’re ready to go. This involves giving bank details and signing up for a 30-day trial then having to cancel it. The next bit was a bit annoying – the machine is locked until you sign up for an iFit account – even if you have no intention of using iFit for your training. It does come with transportation wheels, but I don’t think I’ll be moving it around much- unless I’m having an arm day! The package that was delivered was L199 x W45 x H81cm. NordicTrack SE7i SpaceSaver Review: Set UpĪssembling the product was easy, I followed a YouTube tutorial and it took about 20 minutes- my mate helped me, but that was more about moving the box upstairs into the room I wanted it in. The screen and computer controls seem a bit complex at first (although they aren’t) and the set-up is the standard set up you’ll see on most brands’ machine, with the two sets of handles, one in the middle and the larger ones slightly wider. It had been a while since I’d done any sort of training due to covid and lockdowns, so I was pleased that just unboxing it gave me a bit of motivation! It’s a stylish looking machine, and it made me want to set it up straight away and get training! First impressions of the NordicTrack SE7iĪt first glance this elliptical (or cross trainer as we call it!) makes a great first impression.
