Nautilus has announced the new Bowflex VeloCore – billed as ‘the industry’s first (un)stationary, dual-mode bike’. This combines ‘leaning technology with digital connectivity for a full body workout and an immersive digital experience.’
By engaging the lean mode feature, Bowflex VeloCore riders can push and pull the bike from side-to-side, replicating the movement of outdoor cycling. This offers a high intensity workout to help strengthen and tone the arms and core.
For added versatility, the VeloCore bike comes equipped with a proprietary, patent-pending lock-out feature that keeps the bike in stationary mode, so users can opt for a traditional indoor cycling workout.
The bike features an integrated high-definition touch screen console. This integrates with the Nautilus AI-powered, adaptive coaching platform ‘JRNY’. Members of the JRNY platform can access a library of digital content.
‘JRNY members can take curves while riding outdoor routes via Explore the World videos, which includes a virtual coach offering instructions, encouragement, and fitness tips during the ride. Based on an initial fitness assessment and analysis of each workout, JRNY members receive customized coaching and workout recommendations.’
“Quite simply, the VeloCore bike represents a totally new way to cycle at home by offering a fully customizable experience,” said Jim Barr, CEO of Nautilus. “The bike is loaded with advanced technology and digital options to keep users motivated, engaged and entertained. Our lean technology dials up the fun factor and workout payback.
“We know consumers are adopting new fitness habits and are eager for fresh challenges as they strive to improve performance and reach their workout goals. We’ve doubled down to offer innovative fitness products to meet increased demand.”
The stand-alone JRNY platform is available on Bowflex.com and for download in the Google Play and iOS Stores and comes pre-loaded on the VeloCore bike. VeloCore bike purchasers receive a 2-month free JRNY membership, which allows access to the JRNY experience. Following the trial period, a JRNY membership will cost US$19.99 per month or US$149 per year.
