Who Manufacturers Nautilus Bikes?

General Information:Nautilus has really become an aggressive fitness company over the last few years. Overall, the machines that they make are quite capable but they do cut some serious corners. You pay for the name but that is also the case with many other recognizable brand name companies in this business.

Manufacturing Philosophy:Their design philosophy seems to be to make a somewhat acceptable quality machine and try to aggressively price the unit to make it more appealing. We wouldn't expect these machines to hold up for the long term but they don't have a high price tag either. They give their machines average core drive system parts depending upon the cost of the model.

Company Outlook : Nautilus has been putting money into its business with strong core offerings in their Schwinn and Bowflex brands. In 2016, they also acquired Octane Fitness which is in a higher price point than their normal selling prices so we are wondering now if we are going to see some of their better known brand names move into the specialty fitness and light institutional realm.
