Nautilus Elliptical Trainers are built by the same people that brought you the BowFlex years ago. The company is now moving into the cardio workout market with a strong set of four Nautilus elliptical machines as well as several trainers sold under their other brand names, Schwinn and Stairmaster. Schwinn has been noted as a best buy by Consumer Reports and other national reviewing organizations and the Nautilus NE 2000 made it to second place on Consumer Reports’ 2006 list of exceptional elliptical trainers.
The company was founded in 1986 and has a reputation for building strong, well-designed machines that last for years. In fact, Nautilus elliptical trainers generally have a 10 year parts warranty. It’s a good indication of the quality of the manufacturing when they can cover the parts for so long; it’s an unusually comprehensive warranty even for the high-end market.
Elliptical trainers built by Nautilus use SyncLink elliptical motion, a patented elliptical foot pedal that follows each foot’s natural motion for a more comfortable stride that’s easier on the ankles.

The company also offers MyStride, an automatically adjusting stride feature that matches the stride length to the height of the user. It’s one of the best stride features available on any machine by any company.
Coming up against companies like Precor in the high end market, Nautilus has, (forgive the pun) made great strides with their line of in-home and commercial elliptical trainers. With only four Nautilus machines to choose from, all priced between $2400-$3800, the choice may seem limited, but each of their elliptical trainers is well-designed, built for long life and a smooth, comfortable workout. Instead of trying to be everything to everybody, they’ve focused on a few top quality models and done so very well. A Nautilus elliptical machine will be a great addition to any home gym.
You can purchase Nautilus elliptical trainers directly from the manufacturer, through retail or commercial outlets such as BigFitness,catalogs and licensed distributors, so they’re easy to purchase. Nautilus does offer trained customer support for any problems and their customer service staff is generally quick to respond.
