Nautilus has found a way to combine the fitness benefits of stepping, walking and running into one innovative and integrative product. The TreadClimber TC916, found only in fitness clubs, helps the user burn twice as many calories than walking on a treadmill alone. Aside from burning more calories, the TreadClimber is also easier on the joints and is configured for novices, as well as experts, to use.

The revolutionary design of the Nautilus TreadClimber TC916 is what makes it so unique. A normal treadmill would have a track you would walk on, but the TreadClimber track is an treadmill whose track is an alternating stepper that combines walking with hill climbing. Typically you would walk or run on a treadmill, however the TreadClimber's stepper conforms to your steps with alternating motion while it is the falling treadles that absorbs the impact from your feet and not your joints. This makes for a low impact cardio workout that takes less effort to achieve greater results.
