Health club operators across Europe are under pressure to do more with less - retain members longer, maximize floor space, and deliver experiences that justify every square meter. At FIBO 2026, Life Fitness / Hammer Strength arrives with a direct answer: one connected portfolio of premium cardio, performance strength, and AI-powered member experiences, purpose-built to help clubs compete and grow.

Life Fitness / Hammer Strength will be located in Hall 6, Booths 6A53 and 6C54 at FIBO 2026, 16–19 April, Koelnmesse, Cologne, Germany, where attendees will experience solutions in person.

“Health clubs are evolving fast, and operators need solutions that support engagement, retention, and meaningful member experiences,” said Jim Pisani, CEO, Life Fitness/ Hammer Strength. “At FIBO, we’re showing how our strength, cardio, group training, and connected fitness solutions come together to help clubs perform, differentiate, and grow. These solutions can help workout spaces deliver consistent experiences for their members, while delivering on our mission to inspire the world to work out.”

The dedicated Glute Zone is anchored by the Hammer Strength Hack Squat and Hammer Strength Super Squat Press, alongside eight additional machines, to deliver powerful, athlete-inspired lower body training. Complete the offering with upper-body strength driven by the new Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral T-Bar Row, built for balanced, independent pulling power.
