Technogym's FIBO launch
A range of new products have been launched by Technogym at the FIBO trade show held in Germany in April.
Technogym's first new product was Excite VARIO (pictured), a cross-trainer that follows the user's stride and automatically adapts to the desired movement - from the classical vertical step to a simple walk or a long stride - with no adjustment of the controls.
The natural movement of the legs is combined with movement of the arms to offer a balanced and effective workout, whether for a young person looking for a dynamic experience or an elderly user who wants to take a gentle stroll without loading their joints.
VISIO is a user-friendly, digital 15-17" interface for CV equipment. It offers comprehensive programme options, video demonstrations to help users set up the equipment, and a variety of entertainment features including a seamless integration with the iPod and iPhone.
It also offers operators a tool to communicate with the members, understand their expectations and improve the club business model. It will eventually also offer email and internet access.
Also launched were a new range of PURE Strength benches and the Studio Bike, an indoor evolution of the classic Italian professional road bikes, with an elegant design, aluminium frame, easy adjustments and non-slip handles.
With over 2,000 employees across 14 branches, Technogym is present in over 100 countries. More than 65,000 wellness centres are equipped with Technogym and 35 million users train every day on Technogym equipment. Technogym was the official supplier for the past seven Olympic Games, from Sydney 2000 to PyeongChang 2018.
