“With the outstanding demand for our Max Trainer machine, the new MT8000 gives health clubs another dynamic, total-body asset for their cardio space,” said Ryan Simat, General Manager and Vice President, Commercial and Specialty, at Nautilus, Inc. “Additionally, based on our top-selling xR6000 xRide recumbent elliptical, we also are launching the new xR6000S model to comfortably accommodate exercisers of different abilities, fitness levels and ages.”

Fueling the Cardio Floor

While the original Max Trainer machine is ideal for HIIT in functional areas and small group training, the MT8000 is a premium choice for HIIT or steady-state workouts on the cardio floor. Simple to use for individuals of varying fitness levels, it provides total-body, low-impact routines and delivers virtually unlimited resistance via a fan and magnetic brake that responds quickly to exercisers’ efforts. MultiGrip handlebars offer custom comfort, with fingertip control adjustments that maximize convenience.

Equipped with Octane’s 10-inch LCD touchscreen smart console, the premium MT8000 offers a new, dynamic calorie meter, which displays instant details on calories burned per minute and the user’s best output, thereby encouraging greater effort. Exercisers can select from multiple different feedback screens to customize their motivation. Plus, the console features internet access and several entertainment choices. For even more entertainment selections, facilities can add an optional personal viewing screen (PVS) or wireless 900 Mhz receiver with integrated keypad controls.
