Delivery options
Your item’s shipping method and price are confirmed in the shipping calculator and at checkout. Here is what each delivery path means.
Items weighing 149 lb or less ship by ground parcel rather than freight.
Your equipment is palletized and protected. The freight carrier schedules delivery, then uses a liftgate to lower it to your curb or driveway. Moving it inside and unpacking it are up to you.
When selected and available for your address, the delivery team brings the equipment into the room, assembles and tests it, then removes the packaging.
For commercial builds and multi-pallet orders, a dedicated trailer keeps the full order together in one delivery. We confirm the unloading plan before the truck ships.
Change your mind within 30 days of delivery and you can return the machine or exchange it for a different size, color or configuration.
Return shipping is the customer's responsibility and a 15% restocking fee applies to preference returns and exchanges. Freight items must go back packaged to the same standard they arrived in — we will tell you exactly what that means before anything is collected.
Anything that arrives damaged or fails under warranty is handled separately and carries no restocking fee. Full terms are in our Returns, Exchange & Refund Policy.
Coverage and accessories have to go on the same booking as the machine. Add them here and they travel together.
Commercial-grade equipment, inspected and supported by warranty.
The Nautilus Nitro Plus Lower Back machine delivers seated lumbar extension with angled back pad and lumbar support for spinal alignment, adjustable range limiter for customized motion arc, smooth resistance system, gas-assisted seat adjustment, and commercial-grade Nautilus Nitro Plus construction — 572 lb frame, 56"×38" footprint. The lower back extension machine is the only dedicated lumbar isolation machine in the catalog — it targets the erector spinae group through a seated extension movement that no other selectorized machine replicates. The erector spinae are the primary muscles that hold the spine in extension against gravity during standing, walking, and most lifting activities — weakness in the lumbar erectors is the most common structural contributor to chronic lower back pain. Strengthening them in a controlled, supported range produces direct benefit for posture, lumbar stability, and injury prevention across both rehabilitation and performance populations. The seated lumbar extension machine is the appropriate tool for this because it isolates the erector spinae without requiring the hamstrings, glutes, or hip extensors to assist — which is what happens in standing deadlifts or back hyperextension on a GHD. The angled back pad and lumbar support position the spine at the correct starting angle for the extension movement, which ensures the force is directed through the erector spinae along their fiber orientation rather than producing shear force at the lumbar vertebrae. The adjustable range limiter is the safety specification that makes this machine appropriate for users with injury history or limited lumbar range: the limiter caps the extension arc at the user's comfortable range, preventing the movement from extending into the positions where disc or facet joint loading becomes counterproductive. Gas-assisted seat adjustment allows positioning without effort — relevant for users with pre-existing lower back pain for whom bending to adjust a mechanical seat would be contraindicated.
Smooth resistance system for joint-friendly lumbar loading. Commercial-grade build quality and upholstery for sustained high-rotation use. 572 lb Nautilus Nitro Plus commercial frame, 56"×38" footprint. Contact us for stack specifications. Remanufactured.

Key features
Specifications
1. How do I select weight on a selectorized machine?
Insert the weight pin into the desired stack hole; ensure it clicks into place before use.
2. What weight stack size should I choose?
Most base level weight stacks can accommodate even advanced lifters, but for the real weight-movers, look for the items with expansion stacks.
3. What maintenance is required?
Inspect guide rods and stack alignment monthly; wipe rods and replace worn bushings annually.
4. Is installation available?
Yes—schedule professional installation during checkout for a seamless setup.
5. What warranty covers these machines?
New units carry full OEM coverage; remanufactured units include a 12 month Build A Gym Guarantee.
30-Day Returns & Exchanges
Buy with confidence. Every Build A Gym order includes a 30-day window to return or exchange, whether you want a different size, color or configuration. Return shipping is the customer's responsibility and a 15% restocking fee applies to preference returns; warranty and damage claims carry no restocking fee.
