September 30, 2013: Nautilus, Inc. (NYSE: NLS), a leader in innovative
home fitness equipment, today unveiled new designs and functionality for
a new suite of Schwinn® cardio equipment. The cardio products include
upright and recumbent bikes as well as ellipticals. Special features
include a proprietary DualTrack™ LCD display, USB media charge console
and new acoustic speakers. In addition, Nautilus has partnered with
MyFitnessPal®, the leading free personal health and fitness system, so
users can seamlessly sync their Schwinn® workouts and automatically
update calories burned on their MyFitnessPal® account.
“Building a product that is capable of connecting with fitness
communities as large as 40 million users is an exciting first for our
company,” said Bruce Cazenave, CEO of Nautilus, Inc. “We are pleased to
bring this innovative new cardio equipment to the market that will give
consumers greater accessibility and ease-of-use in tracking their
fitness goals through our brand new SchwinnConnect™ website. In
addition, partnering with MyFitnessPal® will provide the benefit of
tracking accurate calorie burn and diet through the day.”
These product enhancements are based on substantial consumer research
and feedback. Consumers want the ability to pursue their fitness
routines with the ability to multi-task.
The new line of Schwinn® products features the proprietary DualTrack™
LCD display, which allows users to use their favorite electronics, but
still see their fitness activity. The enhanced goal-tracking
functionality records time, distance and calories. Other features
include 29 motivational workout programs, four individualized user
settings and goal tracking to measure results. Users can upload their
results via USB to the SchwinnConnect™ website for weekly, monthly and
yearly progress tracking, which then automatically uploads to their
MyFitnessPal® account.
“Schwinn® is an iconic brand with a strong history of innovation, and we
are thrilled to partner with them to provide our community of users with
data from workouts on their Schwinn® equipment,” said Mike Lee,
co-founder of MyFitnessPal Inc. “Through the SchwinnConnect™ site,
MyFitnessPal® users will be able to view their fitness progress in
conjunction with their diet and be better equipped to make active and
healthy decisions.”
The new Schwinn® products are now available at retail stores at prices
ranging from $299 to $799.
