The Italian company leader in fitness, wellness and sport training will equip
GC2018 training facilities across Queensland for our incredible Commonwealth
athletes
Technogym, internationally recognised for setting the standard in athletic training, rehabilitation and
wellness, has been appointed by the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) as the
Official Fitness Equipment Supplier.
Technogym will equip all the training facilities, including the Commonwealth Games Athletes Village
Gym, athletic performance centres and four smaller fitness studios across Queensland. The athletes
competing at the Games will come from the 70 nations and territories of the Commonwealth and
compete in 23 sport disciplines.
The athletes will have the possibility to train on a selection of the best and most innovative products
covering all training areas such as cardio, strength and functional training. All Technogym equipment
will be fully integrated with the Mywellness cloud, the Technogym digital platform enabling them to
stay connected to their own personal training program directly on the equipment itself and via their
mobile devices.
The state of the art solution that Technogym will take to the Games includes the newly released
SKILLROW, the first indoor rowing equipment designed to improve anaerobic power, aerobic
capacity and neuromuscular abilities in one solution. Athletes will also have available solutions like
SKILLMILL, the only non-motor-driven functional training product - specifically designed for Athletic
Performance Training – which allows athletes to train power, speed, stamina and agility exercises
with the same product.
The training facilities will include also EXCITE, the widest and most complete cardio training range
in the world featuring UNITY, the latest generation “internet of things” based interface, designed to
ensure a fully personalized training experience, which allows the athletes to access to their personal
training programs via the Technogym’s Mywellness cloud. Kinesis, the Technogym patented
technology, will allow athletes to explore the freedom of 360° movement to perform exercises aimed
at improving balance, flexibility and posture and simulating sport specific movements.
“We are very proud of being chosen as Official Supplier of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth
Games. This achievement represents an important recognition of our commitment in research and
innovation in order to create the most advanced equipment and digital technology for the world’s
elite athletes” - says Nerio Alessandri – Technogym Founder and CEO.
Cameron Murray, GC2018 General Manager said “With a resume that includes equipment supply
and sponsorship of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games and 6 edition of the Olympic Games
including Rio 2016, Technogym are a great addition to the ever expanding GC2018 Sponsor Family.
- “Technogym will supply the necessary cardio, strength, high performance and recovery apparatus
to ensure our athlete’s warm up, warm down and general training needs are taken care of during
