NAUTILUS LAUNCHES ITS NEW COMMERCIAL TREADCLIMBER - A RUNNER’S WORKOUT AT A WALKER’S PACE

 

Stand No 2095

 

The Nautilus TreadClimber combines two machines in one - twice the workout in half the time

 

Nautilus will be launching its innovative new Commercial Series TreadClimber at LIW 2006 – the next generation of cardio equipment.

 

The TreadClimber’s unique dual-motion design combines the ease of walking with the cardiovascular workout of running and stepping – to give members a more effective workout in minimal time. 

 

In fact, at the same speed and intensity, no other commercial workout equipment burns calories as quickly or efficiently as a TreadClimber TC916. In clinical tests at New York’s Adelphi University, the Human Performance Laboratory discovered it took less than half the time to burn the same number of calories when athletes used a TreadClimber machine instead of a treadmill.

 

Using a TC916, members can workout smarter, not harder, to achieve faster results within a shorter exercise time by working more large muscles at once, making it ideal for time-starved members.

 

Easy to use and learn, the TreadClimber has two smaller treadmill-like devices called ‘Treadles’ instead of one large treadbelt. The dual-action motion of the treadles couldn’t be simpler to use as you experience the natural motion of walking, with the added challenge of stepping. And, with just three programme buttons, the TreadClimber is also simple to operate.

 

The TC916 provides a safe and effective low-impact workout for all fitness levels, from beginner to the advanced fitness enthusiast, as users can make dynamic changes to their workouts by maximising or minimising treadle movement and varying speed up to 4 mph (6 kph). Six additional programmes are included to offer members a wide variety of workouts.

 

Further features include an integrated contact heart rate monitor so users can assess exercise intensity and progress, together with a water bottle and reading rack for comfort.

And, not only is the TreadClimber extremely space efficient, it also takes up less space than a traditional treadmill, so you can fit more machines in the same space.  

 

With its futuristic and innovative design, the TreadClimber will create an impact in any club, enhance the existing membership experience and help to attract new members looking to try the very latest cardio equipment.

 

Like all Nautilus products, the TreadClimber is low maintenance, biomechanically sound and has been rigorously tested to the highest standards.
