Panatta goes stars & stripes: partnership with Powerhouse renewed

08 Sep 2025
Panatta and Powerhouse Gym renew partnership / Panatta
More than 30 Powerhouse centres equipped with Panatta machines worldwide in less than three years. And now, a major new order has been signed for the exclusive brand-new 12,000-square-meter fitness centre in Michigan, set to become one of the largest and most innovative gyms in the United States. These are the highlights of the deal that allows Panatta, the historic Italian company and global leader in bodybuilding and fitness equipment, to strengthen the partnership launched three years ago with the American Powerhouse Gym.

The closing took place in recent days, marking a significant milestone in the expansion strategy of the Marche-based company, a global reference point for high-end fitness equipment for decades. Founded in 1974 in Michigan by brothers William and Norman Dabish, Powerhouse Gym is today one of the world’s most recognised fitness chains, with more than 300 clubs across 39 states, 1.2 million members, and top-tier ambassadors including Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Rock, and Jennifer Aniston.

“For us, it is a great honour to be Powerhouse Gym’s partner in this new project,” said Edoardo Panatta, Vice President of Panatta. “This agreement consolidates our presence in the United States, a strategic market for the future of fitness and the growth of our brand.” With this new entry into the heart of American fitness, Panatta confirms its international vocation and its role as a key player in bringing Italian-made biomechanics, design, and innovation into the world’s most prestigious gyms.

Henry Dabish, CEO of Powerhouse Gym, is equally enthusiastic: “When we tested Panatta’s equipment, we were immediately impressed,” said Dabish. “Their integration into our new Michigan headquarters will be a true added value, setting us apart from the competition thanks to the uniqueness of their biomechanics.”

Arnold doesn’t need advertising. He never has. His personality—and the status he has earned over decades—allow him the luxury of an extraordinary simplicity. Even the simplicity of training at a trade show booth. Yes, right in the middle of the crowd. In the heart of an expo.
We are proud to announce a global partnership: Panatta, a worldwide leader in the "Made in Italy" fitness and bodybuilding equipment sector, is now the official supplier to World Gym International.
Performance and style come together in Yarishna Ayala and Lauralie Chapados, chosen by Panatta to represent the values of a brand synonymous with innovation and success.
Panatta reports over €56 million in consolidated revenue and 22,000 machines sold for a Made in Italy brand that exports 76% of its production to 109 countries worldwide—especially the United States, Europe, the Gulf States, and South Korea.
In the fitness world, staying ahead means offering innovative equipment that addresses not only the current needs of clients but also their future demands.
