-
- The Fit One is a PushMe/PullYou device. It does not use a flywheel. It lacks
- the smoothness of (at least the higher-end) Nordic Track machines.
-
- Differences in exercise effectiveness should be infitesimal at best. You're
- far better off finding a machine you like and will use!

-
- Fit One machines are available at all sorts of retail outlets; you should be
- able to try it yourself. Nordic Track has booths in many malls and is starting
- to put in some permanent stores in major cities.
-
- You should have no problem evaluating the differences yourself.
