Both the high end models of Sport and Pro series treadmills share the same 3.0HP motor and the Hyperdrive system. The Pro series though is bigger and built tougher and it has slightly better cushioning, deck, tread and electronic features than the former.
To give its users the best possible comfort, the React absorption control provides a responsive suspension for the running deck.
There is a choice of three types of treadmills for the Nautilus Sports series. These are, the LE, which is the basic display; next is the LE-X which has a slightly larger LED display and few added features; lastly, we have the LC, which has the best LED display and the system contains more workout programs available. We suggest that you check the actual units to see which model would fit your data and workout requirements.

For its qualities, Nautilus have been competing well with the other brands in its category like Landice, PreCor and LifeFitness. The Nautilus treadmills are for both home and commercial users and they have a large following given that the company has gained a good reputation for its other brands. Even though their prices are high they are good value machines that are not thought of to be overpriced.
