Nautilus provides the solution

to an old problem

Choosing the right equipment is an

important step in developing winning athletes.
Much planning is required. The
wrong choice may represent an expenditure
that can never be justified.
But just what are some of the things
that you should consider?
The amount of money for spending
will probably be foremost in your mind.
And rightly so. Everyone wants the
most for his money.
But an error often results because
economy and the amount of the initial

Applied to athletics, our research can
mean the difference between success
and failure.
Our product is the finest exercise
equipment in the world.
We're aware of the responsibility
attached to such a statement. With the
assortment of claims pervading the world
of sports, separating fact from miscon­

But we're in a position to help.
Sports medicine is our business, and we'll
offer all of the facts of exercise that
you'll consider.
An investment in Nautilus exercise
equipment is the most promising you'll
make for the physical education program of
your school. There are many reasons why
this is true.

PROGRESSIVE EXERCISE. The human
body will rapidly respond to exercise.
But, exercise must be applied throughout
the full range of muscular movement, or
a large part of the effort will be wasted.
And it's a fact that you can't compensate
for lack of results by increasing the
amount of training. More training will
produce even less results.
Nautilus is high-intensity, low-force
exercise. The kind of exercise that
must improve any athlete. A properly
performed Nautilus workout is brief,
yet high in intensity. The design of

movement, injuries are less likely to
occur. The entire body has been exposed to the

Important facts about Nautilus

Full-range exercise has certain requirements. Lacking even one of these requirements, full-range exercise is
impossible.
Exercise can be provided in a number of ways, but full-range exercise can be provided in only one way.
Nautilus is the only source of full-range exercise. "Function dictates design", and the requirements for full-range
exercise dictated the design of Nautilus equipment.
Improved flexibility increases speed and greatly reduces the chances of injury . . . and improvements in
flexibility are a direct result of full-range exercise.
Increased strength throughout the entire length of a muscular structure improves functional athletic ability
in ANY SPORT -another direct result of full-range exercise.
Nautilus equipment is now being used by the Buffalo Bills, the Miami Dolphins, the Cincinnati Bengals,
the St. Louis Cardinals, the Los Angeles· Rams, the Cleveland Browns, the Denver Broncos, the Houston Oilers, and
hundreds of other professional, college, and high school athletic teams.
Nautilus equipment is also being used exclusively in a number of Sports/Medical Clinics operated by lead­
ing orthopedic surgeons.
The leaders in American sports and sports/medicine chose Nautilus on the basis of facts, not claims . .
and the fact is that Nautilus is the ONLY source of full-range exercise.

RETRACTION BY ARTHUR JONES
Dated October 23, 1975

In the November, 1974, issue of Athletic Journal, I

published a 6-page advertisement entitled "Criminal
Fraud ...or Unbelievable Stupidity." As a result of
rumors spread by third parties, I was erroneously led ·

to believe that Dr. Gideon Ariel was guilty of having

made fraudulent or stupid claims, the claims that I
accused him of in that advertisement.
But since then, I have met and talked to Dr. Ariel at
great length on several occasions. Whereupon, having
learned the facts, I realized that Dr. Ariel was
misrepresented by third parties, and was not in fact
guilty of making either the statements or claims
attributed to him by others.
