==History==
==History==
Entrepreneur [[Nerio Alessandri]] in the early 1980s began building the prototype of an exercise machine in the garage of his home in Cesena. He used a public telephone booth because he had no telephone at home, and got help from his brother [[Pierluigi Alessandri]], from his then girlfriend and now wife Stefania, and from friends and neighbours who became his first collaborators. He left his job as a designer at a company in Cesena that manufactured automatic machines for packaging fruit, then rented a warehouse in Gambettola. In 1985 Technogym launched its first complete strength training line, and in 1986 it presented Unica, a home training multistation.
Then, in 1990, the company added its first cardiovascular training line. In 1992 Technogym defines its wellness concept as "a lifestyle based on regular physical activity, a balanced diet and a positive attitude", adding the slogan "The Wellness Company" to the company logo. The wellness concept is proposed as an alternative to the American concept of fitness. In 1996 the company introduced Wellness System, the first software to manage people's training programs at the gym.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-03-20|title=TECHNOGYM Becomes First Fitness Equipment Manufacturer to Release Apple GymKit|url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180320005268/en/TECHNOGYM-Becomes-First-Fitness-Equipment-Manufacturer-to-Release-Apple-GymKit|access-date=2021-02-23|website=www.businesswire.com|language=en}}</ref>
In 2000 it launched the Selection line and in 2002 it launched Excite, the first cardiovascular training line with an integrated TV screen.

Industrial designer Nerio Alessandri wanted to create Technogym when he was 22 and decided to combine his design skills with his passion for sport, and began building exercise equipment in the garage of his home.{{cn|date=March 2012}}
In 1985 Technogym launched its first complete strength training line, and in 1986 it presented Unica, the first, hi-tech design, home trainer.
Then, in 1990, the company added its first cardiovascular training line.
In 1992 Technogym defined its brand position with the tagline “The Wellness Company”. In 2000 it launched the Selection line, today the most popular strength training line in the world, and in 2002 it launched Excite, the first cardiovascular training line with an integrated TV screen. Again in 2000 Technogym was nominated official supplier for athletic training equipment at the Olympic Games in Sydney. Since then the company has been an official supplier for numerous other Olympic Games, including Athens 2004, Turin 2006, Beijing 2008 and London 2012 (nominated on July 13th 2010).
Today Technogym boasts approximately 55,000 installations worldwide in 35,000 wellness centres and 20,000 private homes and estimates suggest that approximately 20 million people use its products every day.
Technogym has 2000 employees in 13 branches in Europe, the United States, Asia, the Middle East, Australia and South America and 90% of its turnover is exported to over 100 different countries.{{cn|date=March 2012}}

== Concept and Mission==
{{peacock|date=March 2012}}
In 1992 Technogym defined its concept of Wellness as a lifestyle based on regular physical activity, balanced diet and a positive outlook, and the tagline “The Wellness Company” stating its brand position was added to the corporate logo. The concept of Wellness is founded on the ancient Roman maximum of “mens sana in corpore sano” (a healthy mind in a healthy body) and is a genuine alternative to the American concept of fitness. Fitness focuses on a small group of sports enthusiasts, whereas Wellness speaks to a much wider range of people who wish to improve their lifestyle.
At Technogym this strategic position means developing user-friendly, stylish equipment for various population targets (including beginners, the aged, sports enthusiasts and users with specific pathologies).{{cn|date=March 2012}}

Technogym is a company selling equipment and digital technologies for fitness, sport and health based in Cesena, Italy.[1] Technogym has been Official Supplier to eight Olympic Games including the Tokyo 2020 games. The company was founded in 1983 by Nerio Alessandri.[2]

History[edit]

Entrepreneur Nerio Alessandri in the early 1980s began building the prototype of an exercise machine in the garage of his home in Cesena. He used a public telephone booth because he had no telephone at home, and got help from his brother Pierluigi Alessandri, from his then girlfriend and now wife Stefania, and from friends and neighbours who became his first collaborators. He left his job as a designer at a company in Cesena that manufactured automatic machines for packaging fruit, then rented a warehouse in Gambettola. In 1985 Technogym launched its first complete strength training line, and in 1986 it presented Unica, a home training multistation. Then, in 1990, the company added its first cardiovascular training line. In 1992 Technogym defines its wellness concept as "a lifestyle based on regular physical activity, a balanced diet and a positive attitude", adding the slogan "The Wellness Company" to the company logo. The wellness concept is proposed as an alternative to the American concept of fitness. In 1996 the company introduced Wellness System, the first software to manage people's training programs at the gym.[3] In 2000 it launched the Selection line and in 2002 it launched Excite, the first cardiovascular training line with an integrated TV screen. The company has been an official supplier for numerous Olympic Games.[4][5]

In 2012 MyWellness Cloud, the evolution of the Wellness System that allows users to access their own personalized workout program on Technogym connected equipment, wherever they are, in the gym, in hotels, in medical centres, at home or outdoors thanks to a dedicated app.[6]

In July 2014 Technogym partnered with industrial designer Antonio Citterio[7] to create a sleek line of home gym equipment. The Personal Line integrates tablet-style console called VISIOWEB that runs on an Android platform[8] In August 2014, the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, announced it was choosing Technogym as an exclusive supplier.[9] On 29 September 2012, the new Technogym Village was officially inaugurated in Cesena, with the presence of the President of the Italian Republic Giorgio Napolitano, the ministers Corrado Passera, Piero Gnudi and Renato Balduzzi, and the former President of the United States Bill Clinton.[10] The new headquarters was designed by architect Antonio Citterio.[11]

In 2019 Technogym enhanced its focus on digital introducing Technogym Bike,[12] its first indoor bike that offers indoor-cycling classes live and on-demand run by trainers from fitness studios around the world.

After selling 6.96% of the capital in April 2019, in February 2020 Alessandri's Wellness Holding sold almost 5% of Technogym in an accelerated placement, cashing in 114 million. Wellness thus drops to 39.8% of the capital of the Romagna giant, equal to 56.9% of the voting rights.[13]
