VANCOUVER, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nautilus, Inc. (NYSE:NLS), an innovation leader in connected home fitness, today announced that the JRNY® digital fitness platform now includes a video library of instructor-led strength workouts for Bowflex® SelectTech® 552 and 1090 dumbbells, and that, for a limited time, new JRNY customers will receive a one-year complimentary membership. This marks the latest step to make the JRNY experience available to more consumers — whether they are using cardio or strength equipment, or both.
“This JRNY update marks a milestone as it has been a priority to provide the JRNY experience to our millions of Bowflex SelectTech strength customers,” said Garry Wiseman, Chief Digital Officer, Nautilus, Inc. “Now, our existing and future Bowflex 552 and 1090 customers will have access to high-quality SelectTech strength workout videos with their progress tracked in the JRNY journal as they advance towards their fitness goals.”
A one-year JRNY membership is, for a limited time, included with the purchase of Bowflex SelectTech 552 and 1090 dumbbells. New and existing Bowflex SelectTech customers, who are not yet JRNY members, are encouraged to visit https://www.bowflex.com/jrny.html to receive their trial membership. Customers outside of the U.S. and Canada can access the one-year membership beginning November 16, 2021.
The company has plans to add strength workouts specific for the Bowflex SelectTech 840 kettlebell and Bowflex SelectTech 2080 barbell with curl bar products. In the near future, there are plans for JRNY to include rep-counting and form-coaching for strength-training via smartphone and tablet cameras using its proprietary vision and motion tracking technology.
In addition to the newly released JRNY platform updates, a new web-based customer portal has been launched to provide detailed insights into what the JRNY platform offers and helps existing members manage their accounts. Available at http://www.jrny.com, the new portal allows customers to update expired credit cards, reactivate their membership, update their password, pause a membership in the offseason, as well as choose to renew their membership monthly or change to an annual subscription.
The JRNY platform is available now on a variety of connected Bowflex cardio equipment, and for download in the Google Play and Apple App Stores. For more information about the JRNY digital fitness platform, please visit: https://www.bowflex.com/jrny.html.
