Main services
Technogym is the world’s leading supplier of products, services and solutions to the wellness and fitness markets.

Benefitting from decades of research, Technogym has developed fitness equipment collections to create stunning wellness areas made with the highest quality materials and beautifully designed to complement and enhance hotels and spas.

For the first time in our industry, Technogym has harnessed cloud computing to create mywellness cloud, a key ingredient in the Technogym Ecosystem. The mywellness cloud provides a complete set of web and mobile applications that can be accessed from Technogym equipment and any personal device to keep operators and their customers connected inside and outside the facility and provide an integrated, personalised training experience.

Technogym equipment is easy for users to set up by themselves, offering a series of exercise programmes for guests to use eaily – whether they are new to wellness, or to enhance their usual workout.

Additional products and services
Research shows high quality gym and spa facilities are key influences for guests when selecting hotels and spas. Technogym’s complete fitness solutions increase the spa’s ability to attract and retain guests and visitors.

The company offers aftersales support, adding value and helping operators attract more guests while ensuring they gain maximum benefit from their wellness spaces.

The company also supplies collateral and online tools which can be co-branded to motivate guests to use facilities, help operators track space usage and offer ways to help them stay in regular contact with spa guests.

USPs
All products originate from in-depth research. Dedicated staff, medical professionals and academics investigate and create solutions to help people live healthier lives through exercise. Engineers, technicians and designers prototype. Products are given wear and tear tests and discussed in focus groups before manufacturing. The results define new concepts and products from the Technogym R&D Centre. Our motto is “Let’s move for a better world”.

Since 1983 we've been striving to raise awareness of the importance of a wellness lifestyle, which includes regular exercise, healthy diet and a positive attitude to life.
