“Where other products in the market require single-purpose
screens or devices, the JRNY app with Motion Tracking offers
personalized coaching and feedback, rep counting and individualized
workout recommendations using the tablet you already own, for a
combination of features and convenience that’s raising the bar for
connected fitness,” said Jim Barr, CEO, Nautilus, Inc. “The JRNY
app leverages proprietary technology and machine learning expertise
from our acquisition of VAY and positions Bowflex as an innovator
in the strength training category. These enhancements to the JRNY
platform mark an important milestone for Nautilus in our long-term
strategy to provide a superior, consumer-driven connected fitness
experience.”
When users work out with Bowflex® SelectTech® Dumbbells and the
JRNY app with Motion Tracking, real-time, voice-assisted feedback
tells them how to adjust their movement in the moment. JRNY® with
Motion Tracking also counts reps, records actual weight used, and
factors this information into recommendations for the next workout,
to help users of all fitness levels and abilities to get stronger
at a rate that’s appropriate for the individual.
“The JRNY app with Motion Tracking provides not only verbal
coaching but also a view of your movement so that you can make
accurate adjustments as you work out, and that goes a long way
toward building a balanced body and long-term fitness,” said Wes
Citti, Senior Digital Product Manager, Nautilus. Inc. “We are
meeting you where you are and elevating your workout experience, to
help you grow stronger and reach your definition of what success
means to you.”
The Motion Tracking technology follows multiple dimensions of
movement as the user completes on-demand, trainer-led workouts. At
release, the JRNY app with Motion Tracking offers workouts that are
designed for use with Bowflex SelectTech 552 and Bowflex SelectTech
1090 Dumbbells, and with Android or iOS tablets. For a limited
time, new JRNY members will receive a 1-year complementary JRNY
membership. Following the free trial, a JRNY membership will cost
$19.99 per month, or $149 per year.
How JRNY With Motion Tracking Works
After downloading the JRNY app, users create a profile including
which dumbbells they have. They also indicate several preferences
for their workouts to establish a baseline and help personalize
future workout recommendations. Workouts with Motion Tracking
appear in the Dumbbells program category and are tagged as
"adaptive."
- To take advantage of intelligent coaching, users will navigate
to the Dumbbells program category and look for the “Adaptive
Program” tag on workouts.
- At the start of the workout, users initialize the Motion
Tracking technology with two movements for optimal tracking.
Throughout the workout, the app tracks more than 15 strategic
points to determine location, direction, and speed of movement for
the purpose of assessing form and counting reps.
- Time left in a movement interval, the number of reps completed
and remaining, and the weight required for the next interval are
conveniently displayed on screen.
- An AI voice assistant delivers intelligent coaching and
responds to commands such as updates to actual weight used.
“When it’s possible to track just about everything, it can be
overwhelming to figure out what’s important,” said Citti. “Motion
tracking is the key to providing meaningful, judgment-free feedback
that can make every workout count in the moment as well as over
time, as users make progress on their goals.”

fitness experience works seamlessly with compatible equipment and
