Nautilus, Inc. (NYSE: NLS), the home fitness innovator for over 30 years, has recently launched the new Schwinn 490 Elliptical that improves the workout experience and, more importantly, comes at a wallet-friendly price point.
The Schwinn 490 Elliptical has a space-saving footprint that’s 12 inches smaller than that of its predecessor, the Schwinn 470, to better suit home spaces that serve multiple purposes. Ergonomic updates make foot and hand placement more comfortable and give users fingertip control of their workouts, including adjusting the incline from a 5 percent decline to a 15 percent incline. JRNY adaptive fitness app compatibility gives users even more workout options with hundreds of scenic Explore the World Routes, trainer-led classes, and “Just for You” personalized workout recommendations that evolve with your progress.
“Our research shows most people who exercise do so at home, and home workouts are here to stay. Now that they are comfortable and confident in their home workouts, they’re ready to expand their healthy routines,” said Jim Barr, CEO of Nautilus, Inc. “It’s only fitting that we give them more modalities to choose what will help them stay motivated to move. The Schwinn® 490 Elliptical is designed to level up their cardio experience and fit easily into their home and budget, so they can feel good about their investment in their health.”
More than 80 percent of people surveyed who said they work out said they do so at home in some form, and 44 percent of them said working out at home would be a better experience with a wider variety of equipment.
“Guided by our understanding of what customers want in a cardio experience, our engineering team rose to the challenge of designing an innovative, space-saving elliptical machine without skimping on quality or performance,” said Gregg Wilson, Senior Cardio Product Manager, Nautilus, Inc. “Then we added features, refined ergonomics, and Bluetooth compatibility with apps like JRNY so that customers can choose their challenge –– or truly escape into their favourite scenic destination.”
The Schwinn 490 Elliptical offers the premium quality and smooth stride users expect in an efficient, low-impact workout, now enhanced by Terrain Control Technology that automatically adjusts resistance with elevation changes in your ride when you select Explore the World workouts in the JRNY platform. Improved design and placement of the elliptical controls make mounting, dismounting, and operation inclusive and intuitive for users. A built-in media shelf for a tablet or phone makes it easy to explore new and personalized JRNY workouts.
