rehabilitation clinics. The key component of each Nautilus 2ST machine is either its "cam" or a four-bar linkage mechanism, which builds and
releases resistance as a user moves through an exercise. The resistance is at its minimum during the initial and final stages of an exercise, and at
its maximum in the middle of an exercise. The cam or four-bar linkage mechanism is designed to accommodate and maximize the benefits
associated with the motion required for that machine. Other features are convergent and divergent upper body compound movements, four-bar
linkages that produce functional movement, Kevlar belt drive, selectorized one pound add-on weight system, seat accessible weight stacks, low
friction bearings and pulleys, hydraulic seat adjustments, machine-mounted instructional placards, tethered magnetic weight pins, powder coat
finish, and quick release shields.
The Nautilus NITRO line, introduced in late 2000, is a complete line of compact selectorized machines. It is ideal for clubs and other facilities
where floor space is limited. Nautilus NITRO features super-smooth belt drives, patented four-bar linkage, classic full range variable resistance
cams and converging axis movements. Each Nautilus NITRO machine features 2" by 4" bent steel frames and 5-pound increment weight
adjustments. In addition, EZ Glide seat adjustments make Nautilus NITRO easily adaptable to a variety of sizes, tastes, and exercise
movements.
NAUTILUS FREE WEIGHT EQUIPMENT. In 1999, we introduced a line of Nautilus free weight equipment with new innovations in design
and engineering intended to help club owners better serve their customers. The product line offers a sleeker look, tougher components and
increased versatility. This new free weight gear can be coupled with the Nautilus selectorized equipment circuit to give facility managers a
complete strength gym to serve all strength fitness tastes.
SCHWINN FITNESS INDOOR CYCLING EQUIPMENT. Our line of Schwinn Fitness indoor cycling products are used as part of a
cycling-based exercise program that is popular among health clubs worldwide, and offer adjustable resistance, heavy-duty flywheels, plush
seats and Schwinn's high-quality construction methods.
STAIRMASTER. StairMaster introduced the world's first stairclimber in 1983. Its full product line now includes stairclimbers, treadmills,
exercise bikes, and Crossrobics. These products feature ergonomic designs, comfortable and user-friendly controls and smoothly performing
equipment. StairMaster treadmills are built to commercial standards with long lasting decks, belts and motors. StairMaster treadmills feature
large running surfaces, various workout programs and offers speeds of up to 12 miles per hour. Crossrobics machines allow individuals to
engage in both strength training and cardiovascular training at the same time.
RETAIL EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES
Nautilus retail equipment includes a wide variety of products for the retail consumer in the following categories:
o Fitness Accessories - a full line of fitness accessories, such as weight belts, jump ropes and ankle weights distributed to specialty fitness
retailers and the sporting goods industry. The current line includes over fifty products.
o Gyms - Nautilus gyms are designed to give a complete, total body workout, and are built with the same commitment to quality and
biomechanical function as our commercial equipment. Our gyms allow the consumer to perform a wide variety of exercises such as chest press,
