“Steve brings a wealth of experience to both dealer and direct sales, said Bruce Kaplan, Sales Director at Med-Fit Systems, Inc.  He was extremely impressed with our manufacturing capabilities, products, staff, and culture, as well as the direction our company is headed in the near future.”

Miller’s goal is to help Med-Fit Systems build long-term customer relationships throughout the Mid-Atlantic Region.

“It’s exciting to join a company that has such a deep heritage in the Industry as Nautilus® commercial products, claimed Miller. Since their inception under Arthur Jones, Nautilus® strength equipment has set the bar with innovation, precise biomechanics and craftsmanship, but what is exciting is the vision they have for their cardio products.  I am truly looking forward to my future with Med-Fit Systems.”

Med-Fit Systems, Inc. is a twenty-three year old physical therapy and senior care products provider located in Southern California.  On February 19, 2010, the company purchased the assets of the commercial fitness equipment division from Nautilus, Inc.

Who is Augie Nieto? He has helped shape the Health and Fitness Industry through his leadership, dedication, and commitment.  He not only put his personal touch on Life Fitness and Octane, but through his leadership of his employees, he has touched almost every other major manufacture, Cybex, Star Trac, Precor, Matrix, Nautilus, Technogym, and many others.   And if for some chance another manufacture hadn’t hired a former Life Fitness or Octane employee, I am sure that the other manufactures always compared their products to what Life Fitness and Octane were doing.  His effect on this industry doesn’t stop at the manufactures, it goes way beyond.  Just think of how many dealers have sold his company’s products and how many dealers got to meet him and see the passion that he possesses for this industry.  And don’t forget the club owners; Augie was committed to producing long lasting, user friendly, and motivating products so the club owners could be successful. And finally how many people worldwide exercise on an exercise product that have been linked to Augie, think about it probably millions.

I met Augie October 12, 1989, my first day at Life Fitness and it just happened to be Club Industry.  Augie personally took me around and showed be every Life Fitness Product, which at that time was only the Lifecycle, Lifestep and LifeRower.  His passion and commitment was unlike anything I had seen before.  It was contagious. Therefore, it is not surprising to see that same passion and commitment fighting ALS.
