And when you actually train with high-intensity, you don’t need a lot of volume.”[4] Famous individuals who trained under Jones's supervision include Casey Viator (who participated in the Colorado Experiment), Eddie Robinson (who worked with and participated in and trained under Jones's Nautilus leverage line), IFBB professional bodybuilders Mike and Ray Mentzer (both won the Mr. America IFBB and AAU respectively), Sergio Oliva (winner of every major bodybuilding contest and was also the only individual to win the Mr. Olympia over Arnold Schwarzenegger who placed 2nd), Boyer Coe (Mr. America, Mr.International, Mr.Universe etc.)

Additional publications included the results of Jones's studies on the differing responses of muscular structures exposed to varying amounts of exercise throughout limited and unlimited range of motion.

The Bowflex "power rod" bending technology is in part based on Jones's ideas due to its use of variable resistance.

The Nautilus machines and the company he formed to sell them made Jones a multimillionaire and landed him on the Forbes list of the 400 richest people.

[6] Arthur Jones was a prolific inventor, holding numerous patents (many of which were assigned to Nautilus or MedX), most notably the elliptical cam (which replaces the pulley) to provide variable resistance through the range of motion.

He ran a business that involved the importation of a variety of wild animals, ranging from tropical fish to snakes, parrots and monkeys.

Jones's household included a jaguar named "Gaylord" that had free run of the house and even slept on the bed with his daughter.

Jones was the creator of the "Jumbolair" estate, originally created as a haven of 350 acres (1.4 km2) for orphaned African elephants and other wildlife.

[citation needed] After WWII, he developed and owned a zoo in Slidell, Louisiana[10] where he provided animals for the 1956 Roger Corman movie Swamp Women.
