Sculpt and tone all the major muscle groups of the body in a low-impact way with the Stamina 35-1405 ATS Air Rower, Rowing Machine.

Rowing helps to improve your cardio endurance and strengthens your quads, hamstrings, glutes, back, abs, shoulders and arms without the jarring impact that accompanies many other types of exercise.

The Stamina 35-1405 ATS Air Rower utilizes Dynamic Air Resistance (wind resistance) that works on the premise that the harder/faster you pull/row, the tougher the resistance will be, effectively putting you in control of the intensity of your workout.  The flywheel sits in a metal cage and the action of the wind resistance helps to create a nice cooling breeze as you workout.

The Nautilus E616 is still a high-quality elliptical trainer with a high-speed high-inertia perimeter weighted flywheel, large articulating footplates and ergonomic handlebars.  Both elliptical trainers feature stabilizer frame levelers for added stability.

Both the consoles on the Nautilus E618 and E616 are packed with features and have DualTrack blue-backlit LCD display, but the E618’s console is the better of the two with its STN display which is considered to be the best in the fitness industry, providing a wider viewing angle and better visual color combination that’s easier on your eyes.  The Nautilus E618’s console itself is a Sightline tilting console that can be angle-adjusted to get the best view for different rider heights.

Both the Nautilus E618 and E616 Elliptical Trainer’s consoles display motivating workout stats as you exercise including time, speed, distance, calories and heart-rate (pulse contact grip and telemetry enabled for heart-rate).  Both machines offer 4 user profiles and you can also track your data on your own smart device with the elliptical trainers’ Bluetooth connectivity, using the free Nautilus Trainer/Nautilus Connect app or partnered fitness apps like My Fitness Pal.

Additional high-end features on both the Nautilus E618 and E616 Elliptical Trainers include a USB charging port, media shelf, sound system with speakers and MP3 input, 3-speed cooling fan and water bottle holder.

Both the Nautilus T618 and T616 Treadmills offer a generous running belt size of 20” wide by 60” long.  However, the thickness of the belt differs with the T618 having a 3-ply 2.5mm Tyre belt (light commercial) while the T616 has a 2-ply 2.0mm thick belt.  The Nautilus T618 also has larger crowned rollers at 2.75” compared to the T616’s 2.5” crowned rollers.

The Nautilus treadmills have different cushioned decks with the T618 having a Rebound Cushioning System while the T616 has a 6 Hex Cell StrikeZone Cushioning System.

The console display on the Nautilus treadmills also differs – both feature DualTrack blue backlit 2 LCD screens but the T618’s screens are STN which is considered to be the best in the fitness machine industry and offers a wider viewing angle and better visual color combination that’s easier on the eyes.

Additional high-end features on both the Nautilus T618 and T616 treadmills include a USB charging port, sound speakers with MP3 input, media shelf, 3-speed cooling fan and dual water bottle holders.  The Nautilus T618 has the addition of an integrated towel rail and accessory bar which the T616 does not have.

The Nautilus T618 Treadmill also features In-Reach-Controls in the handlerails for quick adjustments to the speed and incline levels, while the T616 has Quick-Access buttons on the console for adjusting the speed and incline.

Both treadmills are sturdily built and feature a SoftDrop folding deck to help save space when not in use and transport wheels for easy relocation.  The Nautilus T618 is heavier than the T616 and allows for a higher user weight capacity of up to 350 lbs compared to the T616’s maximum user weight of 300 lbs.

Both Nautilus treadmills come with an impressive manufacturer’s warranty, with the T618 having a longer warranty to reflect the confidence in its heavy-duty durability (see table below).
