May 16, 2013: Nautilus, Inc. (NYSE: NLS), a leader in
innovative home fitness equipment, today announced they are sending
over more than 30 employees as participants in the ultimate fitness
and teamwork challenge, Tough Mudder 2013. The event takes place in
Fossil, Oregon on June 15 and 16, 2013.
Tough Mudder is a 10 to 12 mile extreme obstacle course designed
by British Special Forces to test brave participants’ strength,
stamina, mental determination, and camaraderie. Participants endure
hills, mud, water, ropes, walls, electric shocks, and fire as they
battle to the end of the course. More than 700,000 people worldwide
have put themselves to the test, raising more than $5 million for
the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). The Project works to raise
awareness to help thousands of injured service men and women and
provides assistance to their families.
“This opportunity to raise much needed funds for The Wounded
Warrior Project, combined with the benefits of employees training
together truly reflects our corporate culture and the philosophy we
practice,” said Bruce Cazenave, CEO of Nautilus. “No one crosses
the finish line alone and I am proud of our employees for
challenging themselves physically in this extreme obstacle course
in support of such a worthy cause.”
The Nautilus employees participating in Tough Mudder, known as
“The Mud Squad”, began training together in January. But this is no
ordinary race, and the team’s extensive training regimen reflects
that. In addition to regular workouts at Nautilus in the company
gym, The Mud Squad can be found pushing cars, rock climbing and
conquering adult jungle gyms.
“As a father of three and entering my 40’s, I was looking for a
new way to challenge myself both physically and mentally,” said
Phillip Trost, direct sales analyst for Nautilus. “It’s a unique
opportunity to get to work out with co-workers and help them
achieve their goals while I’m achieving mine. And it feels good to
help raise money for this project.”
The teams see the race not as a competition but a teamwork
challenge to get every single member across the finish line.
