press release: Core Health & Fitness
Core Health and Fitness showcases iconic fitness brands and the future of training at FIBO 2026
Core Health & Fitness will return to FIBO 2026 in Cologne with a showcase celebrating the brands that have helped shape the modern fitness industry. Bringing together Nautilus, StairMaster, Star Trac, Schwinn, Throwdown and Wexer, the company will highlight how decades of innovation across strength, cardio, digital fitness and performance training continue to define today’s fitness floor.
At the centre of the exhibition is Nautilus, a brand that changed the way the world approached resistance training. Since the 1970s, Nautilus has led the evolution of strength equipment through its pioneering approach to biomechanics and variable resistance. At FIBO, Core will highlight how this legacy continues through modern Nautilus training solutions designed to deliver effective, intuitive and results-driven strength training for today’s facilities.
Alongside Nautilus, visitors will experience the full Core Health & Fitness portfolio, with each brand representing a key pillar of the modern gym environment. StairMaster continues to set the standard for high-intensity cardio training, Star Trac delivers premium cardio solutions for commercial facilities, Schwinn remains a leader in indoor cycling, Throwdown powers functional and performance training spaces, and Wexer extends the training experience beyond the gym floor through digital fitness and connected member engagement.
Reflecting the growing demand for mind-body training, Core will also showcase its Pilates solutions, highlighting how operators can successfully integrate Pilates programming into their facilities as part of a well-rounded training offering.
Together, these brands represent more than products. They reflect the evolution of training itself, from the early days of strength equipment to the fully integrated fitness environments seen in today’s clubs and performance facilities.
Core Health & Fitness will also use FIBO as a platform to demonstrate how the company is evolving beyond equipment alone. By combining world class hardware with digital fitness, connected training experiences and facility design expertise, Core continues to support operators in creating future-ready fitness environments that engage members both inside and beyond the gym.
“FIBO is an opportunity to celebrate not only where the industry is going, but where it came from,” said Michael Bruno, owner and CEO of Core Health & Fitness. “Our brands have played an important role in shaping the training experiences people know today. At this year’s show, we are proud to showcase how that legacy continues to evolve across strength, cardio and digital fitness.”
Geeta Boulenc, managing director of EMEA, added: “Operators today are looking for more than great equipment. They want complete training ecosystems that support member engagement, retention and long-term growth. By bringing together our portfolio of iconic brands, we are helping facilities create connected training environments that deliver real value for operators and members alike.”
Visitors to the Core Health & Fitness stand at FIBO 2026 will have the opportunity to experience the company’s portfolio first-hand, explore the latest developments across its brands and connect with the team behind some of the most recognised equipment in the global fitness industry.

The Star Trac and Stairmaster brands have been big favourites of our members in our Taunton gym so we were keen to make them a central part of our new gym in Plymouth.
Schwinn was a natural choice for our indoor bikes and we’ve been really pleased with the AC Power in our classes.
Throwdown became available as we were looking to equip our functional areas, we took a gamble on the rigs and it paid off. Our HIIT classes and functional areas have the rigs as a central focus providing multiple options for each workout.
As a gym we have a strength and resistance focus so choosing the right plate loaded equipment was really important, we were really impressed by the focus that Nautilus places on the smooth and intuitive way each piece of equipment functions so we bought most of the range! We are proud to be a Nautilus Trusted Strength Centre and our members are really enjoying the kit.”
