Up Your Workout
If you are a tech billionaire, living in a cast concrete, post-modern forest hideaway while you develop a hot sentient but slightly dangerous AI humanoid, there is only one brand of gym equipment for you.
Technogym is not only the world’s most stylish gym equipment but there is some serious tech and engineering substance behind those sculptured shiny curves. So much so in fact that it is the goto equipment for the Olympics. As the Official Supplier for the Paris 2024 Olympics, Technogym is the backbone of athletic preparation. The company is setting up 29 training centres across Paris and beyond, with the flagship hub at the Olympic and Paralympic Village in Saint-Denis. Additional specialised centres are revving up in Lille, Marseilles, and even Tahiti.
Technogym’s journey to this point is the stuff of legends, starting in a modest garage in Romagna in 1983, the company has become synonymous with high-performance fitness equipment, marrying Italian craftsmanship with innovative technology. Think of it as the Ferrari of the fitness world – sleek, efficient, and absolutely top-tier.
Technogym’s mission for Paris 2024 involves installing approximately 1,200 pieces of their finest equipment. We’re talking about machines that wouldn’t look out of place in a high-tech sci-fi flick – all interconnected through the Technogym Ecosystem. This smart network ensures athletes can access their personalised training programs anytime, anywhere, with a seamless blend of cardio, strength, and functional training gear.
And if you are developing an AI system capable of destroying its creator, you probably want to keep your cardio up.
