Nautilus

Nautilus is a pioneering fitness equipment company known for its innovative strength training machines and home gym systems that helped shape the modern exercise industry. Founded in 1970 by Arthur Jones—the inventor of the Nautilus cam-based pulley system—the brand introduced biomechanically engineered machines designed to match the natural strength curve of the human body, making strength training more effective and efficient. Over the decades, Nautilus has offered a wide range of equipment, from selectorized strength machines and multi-gyms to cardio products like bikes and ellipticals, emphasizing quality, ergonomic design, and user-focused performance. The company’s influence extends through both the home fitness market and commercial facilities, and its legacy lives on in many current strength training systems that continue to build on Nautilus’s original principles of resistance matched to muscle mechanics—helping users train safely and progress toward strength, conditioning, and overall wellness goals.
