Ideal for the athlete who wants a powerful treadmill for walking, jogging, or running, the Nautilus Sport Series T5.18 LEX Treadmill is a durable piece of training equipment for your home gym. The T5.18 LEX features a 3.0-horsepower, continuous-duty Hyperdrive motor system that delivers a smooth, consistent workout at any pace, along with a SuperSoft running belt that provides extra cushioning for the knees and joints. The React suspension deck, meanwhile, further softens the 20-by-60-inch running surface to guarantee even longer workout sessions. Users have their choice of twelve preset workout programs, three custom programs, and two heart rate control programs (includes a wireless Polar chest strap), depending on skill and preference levels. As an alternative, users can adjust the treadmill manually, with an incline range of 0 to 15 percent and a speed range of 0.5 to 12 miles per hour.

This treadmill's LED display offers a number of workout statistics, including time, distance, incline, heart rate, pace, and calories burned.

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.

From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.

While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

1.0 out of 5 stars Works great for 7 months, February 2, 2010

Paul N. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nautilus Sport Series T5.18 LE-X Treadmill (Sports)

I bought a brand new Nautilus T518 in June 2009. I used it consistenly (12 - 15 miles per week) for 7 months and it STOPPED working. The internal circuit breaker would flip and the power would cut out.

The retail store sent out a repair guy and determined the transformer was overheating. They ordered a new controller board from Nautilus. Three weeks later the part finally arrived and the service guy installed it. After running on it for 5 minutes the same problem happened.

This machine is junk and the manufacturer doesn't care how long it takes to send out replacement parts.

1.0 out of 5 stars This Treadmill is Garbage!, November 28, 2011

I've got a similar problem with this treadmill. Power cuts out suddenly. Cover of motor gets extremely hot. Something's not right and Nautilus customer service is terrible! Repairs are prohibitively expensive. Wish I had never bought this treadmill.
