Arthur Jones, inventor of Nautilus fitness equipment passed away recently at the age of 80.
Arthur Jones was the founder of modern-day exercise; he had an incredible ability to create the interface between man and machine by incorporating biomechanics into exercise equipment. (from Nautilus VP Greg Webb)
I have no argument that Jones revolutionized exercise equipment and health clubs. I would make the argument though that the advent of exercise machines has set the fitness industry back, not forward. Machines give the illusion of offering an element of specialization, safety and user-friendliness, but we simply canâ??t duplicate human movement in a machine - no matter how well-designed.
Here are 5 reasons why dumbbells, barbells, body weight and cables will always rule.
