About Nautilus

Nautilus has one of the most storied histories in the fitness industry. Founded by Arthur Jones in the early 1970s, the brand pioneered the concept of variable resistance training, designing machines that match resistance to the natural strength curve of the human body throughout each movement. This biomechanical approach transformed strength training and influenced nearly every selectorized machine manufacturer that followed. By the mid-1970s Nautilus equipment was featured in elite athlete programs and appeared in the 1977 documentary Pumping Iron, cementing the brand's place in fitness history.

Today Nautilus continues that legacy through three distinct commercial strength lines. The Instinct series offers durable selectorized machines built for high-traffic commercial environments. The Inspiration line is Nautilus's premium commercial series, engineered for facilities that demand the highest level of biomechanical precision and build quality. The Impact line represents their most advanced commercial strength equipment, designed for professional sports facilities, universities, and elite training centers. Browse the full in-stock Nautilus lineup at The Fitness Outlet including Instinct and Inspiration selectorized machines, Impact commercial strength stations, plate-loaded equipment, Smith machines, power racks, and storage solutions. Compared to Hoist Fitness, Nautilus tends to offer a broader range of complete commercial circuit solutions across multiple price tiers, making them a strong choice for facilities looking to outfit an entire strength floor.
