How long will the NordicTrack Free Stride Trainer FS14I last?
Constructed from solid steel and worthy of commercial settings, the NordicTrack FreeStride Trainer FS14i is a beast of a machine weighing around 250 lbs. and holding users up to a massive 375 lb. capacity. It is best suited for moderate to heavy use and will last several years with proper care and maintenance. The FS14i is covered by a rather short 10-year frame warranty with 2 years on parts and 1 year on labor but that should only be expected when it is constructed of so many moving parts.
