Nautilus Treadmills: Revolutionizing The Fitness World

As a fitness company, Nautilus Inc. has been providing “tools and education necessary to help people achieve a fit and healthy lifestyle” since the 70s. Today, they have an array of health and fitness products, the most famous of which is their Nautilus treadmills.

Nautilus had emerged relatively recent in the fitness market compared with the others, but it had made a name for itself quite fast.  The Nautilus treadmills are the top of the line today and are performing very well especially in the high end market. 

Some models have already been declared best buys in their categories and within their price range.

The Nautilus Edge

One of the topmost qualities of Nautilus treadmills favored by consumers is its excellent stability. The welded steel frames are sturdy enough to prevent shaking during rigorous runs.   

Although stability is listed as the strongest point of a Nautilus treadmill, all the other aspects of the equipment could be considered strong points as well. The machines are well-built, well-designed, and well-engineered in every aspect related to fitness.

Cushioning and Belts

Nautilus treadmills come with REACT absorption control technology. This cushioning system adapts to the user’s weight and stride. The result is giving the user the right running surface that is easy on the feet, ankles, knees and hips.

The treadmills also offer long (up to 60") running belts. These belts are really useful for runners and tall users. For extra cushioning of knees and joints, there is also the SuperSoft running belt. 

Warranties

Nautilus treadmills have lengthy warranties. There is a lifetime warranty for the frame, ten years warranty for parts, and a year for labor.

The parts warranty is one of the best in the market as warranties for parts usually covers only 1 or 2 years.

Advanced Electronics

Nautilus Fitness cartridges can be set up in many of the treadmills for that personal workout experience (and fitness training guidance.) For instance, workouts of up to 5 people can be monitored

The user can also record the last workout, the fastest times, cumulative data and many other information. The user may even take a fitness assessment himself and retake it from time to time to check on improvements.

Other Features

The REACT suspension system for advanced deck cushioning has another function – letting the user know exactly what the treadmill is doing mile after mile.

For users who want to keep records and keep track of their fitness goals, My Nautilus personal diary can record workout data of up to five people.

The Remote Operations Controls is for quick and easy access to speed and incline commands right at the user’s fingertips.

Nautilus Models

The Nautilus sport series comprise the T5.14, the T5.16 and the T5.18. The Nautilus T5.16 Treadmill is considered the best value among the three.

Most professionals and physical fitness experts recommend the Pro Nautilus T7.18 among all others, including the last two Pro models, the Pro Nautilus T7.14 and Pro Nautilus T7.16.

The main difference between these two groups is essentially based on size and the number of upgrades (decks, belts, electronic features, etc.) that can be undertaken in each model group.

Overall, the Nautilus treadmills are superior in many respects – premium grade, strong construction, strong motors and advanced electronics – than the others.
