What is Technogym’s social and economic mission?
We create innovative solutions to help people achieve Wellness and we strive to make Wellness available to all, at all ages and in all places. We strongly believe that Wellness is an opportunity for everybody: for governments to reduce health costs, for companies to invest in team motivation and productivity and for all citizens to improve their health and daily lifestyle.
You named your new product catalog the Wellness Collection. Why?
Our Wellness Collection offers the widest range possible of solutions to achieve Wellness wherever there may be a need for a better quality of life and health: gyms, schools, homes, offices, hotels, libraries, airports, workplaces, hospitals, and community centers.
What does the Wellness Collection offer its centers?
With the Wellness Collection we want to offer our customers the means to create unique environments where people can experience the most effective and entertaining training experience for their needs. This is the only way to ensure member loyalty and keep people in good health.
What is the driving force behind the Wellness Collection?
Innovation, as always, scientific research, state of the art design and energy saving solutions. And the idea that we can make the world better by inspiring Wellness.
Our commitment to healthy people and a healthy planet.
We believe that the greater the number of people enjoying a wellness lifestyle, the better the world will be. Our mission is to make training an experience to savor in order to inspire people to embrace wellness as the means to a better quality of life.
We believe that people’s health goes hand in hand with the health of the planet. Our products are built to environmental compatibility standards such as energy efficiency criteria, renewable materials, re-usable packaging and compliance to the RoHS directive to provide the highest performance with the lowest environmental impact and carbon footprint.
Our commitment to innovation, science and design.
Since our beginnings in 1983 our main drive has been innovation: our Research and Development Department currently employs 130 engineers and designers and has so far produced 142 international patents and 93 trademarks. Every new product requires an average of 20,000 man hours to be developed and undergoes strict Quality Controls and extensive Stress Tests (we test new treadmills continuously for 25,000 miles at 8 mph).
Our internal Scientific Research Department cooperates on a constant basis with prestigious universities and research centers such as the Loughborough University, the Mayo Clinic, Arizona State University and Manchester Metropolitan University. To develop our research further, we have established an international Scientific Advisory Board headed by Prof. Steven Blair, a world-renowned epidemiologist and an authoritative figure in “Exercise is Medicine” domain.
Many of our products have won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award for design and other international prizes for innovation.
Some of the top architects in the world such as Philippe Starck or Norman Foster have chosen Technogym as the “ideal Wellness Design partner” to add value to their own real estate projects.
