Nautilus NE3000 Elliptical Review

Nautilus NE3000 Elliptical Review

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:57:17 +0000

Nautilus, known for quality retail market exercise equipment, does ellipticals a little differently than their competitors and that difference makes the NE 3000 a unique and enjoyable machine.

The feature which sets Nautilus ellipticals out from the crowd is synclink motion paired with articulating foot pedals allow the ellipticals to follow the natural motion of the user.

This technology wipes out the notion of stride length comparison and set the Nautilus machines that use it apart from the crowd.

Nautilus NE3000 Elliptical Specifications and Features:

Stride Length: Synclink and Articulating pedal vary stride length
Type of Resistance: Electromagnetic
Resistance Levels: 20
Dimensions: 75″ x 25″ x 67″
Product Weight: N/A
Max User Weight: 350 lbs
Display: LED
Programs: 11
Warranty: lifetime frame, 10 years parts, and 1 year labor

Articulating pedals and the synclink technology in the machine allow for the user to establish their own stride pattern.

Forget about the old concept of defined stride length, with the NE3000 you can let your natural stride dictate your work out, helping to increase comfort and make exercise more effective.

Unique Features And Solid Performance

The Nautilus NE3000 carries a quality known throughout the Nautilus line, smooth, solid performance.

Partially as a result of being a heavier machine, and partially because the heavy gauge steel frame anchors the machine, the machine refuses to translate vibration even as heavier users undertake intense workouts.

Nautilus warranties the NE3000 very well, which makes having this machine within your home even more appealing.

Ten years of parts warranty is almost unheard of in home exercise equipment, Precor and a few other select manufacturers also offer 10 years on select machines.

On top of warranty comes true durability. Overtime, having a strong frame will have enormous benefits, such as reduction in creaks, groans, and the machines tendency to “fall apart”.

Thanks in part to the patented synclink technology, the NE3000 is exceptionally smooth and feels much more natural than most machines. Stride becomes your movement, as opposed to a defined motion, and an elliptical workout can become truly enjoyable.

No thinking is necessary to follow that your body wants you to, this allows users to work harder on the machine and free their minds up so they can enjoy your workout.

The major disadvantage of this elliptical is that within its price range there are a number of machines that set the bar high as far as features are concerned.

Fans, MP3 player hookups, and quality consoles become expected and this machine fails to stick out as far as entertainment and additional confort features are concerned.

Sheer Enjoyment

The Nautilus NE3000 helps to make an elliptical workout truly fun. On top of that, it helps to provide the quality full body workout that ellipticals are designed for.

Durability and a good warranty help to place this machine on the right list, add to that the fact that its sibling the NE2000 is considered a best buy on consumer reports.

NE3000 gives a refreshingly clean and simple workout which is free from contrived foot positions and an artificial feeling stride pattern. Provide a simple, natural feeling workout out and you have my vote.
