Bowflex Company and 3 home Gyms:
Nautilus, Inc. owns and markets Bowflex, the brand name for a series of exercise machines used for strength training. Besides Bowflex, they also market Schwinn Exercise, Stairmaster, and Pearl Izumi lines.
Bowflex has three 3 main Home Gym equipments:
The Bowflex Revolution got introduced in 2006. This new product line was different in that it used circular plates around a cam, the SpiraFlex Technology, instead of the typical resistance bow-like rods, the Power-Rod Technology used on Bowflex Xtreme and Bowflex Classic HOme Gym.
Bowflex Revolution and the SpiraFlex Technology:
SpiraFlex is an Innovative resistance technology which duplicates the benefits of free weights. When you start excercing, the SpiraFlex plates bands tighten on the pivot coil, which in turn creates the resistance. The SpiraFlex technology is what is being used aboard the International Space Station so that the astronauts can get their daily exercise.
