Built for Group
Fitness
Each Smart Tech product has been scientifically developed to enhance members experiences when participating in our group fitness classes. And, because we’ve engineered our equipment to amplify group fitness participation you can expect them to withstand the stresses of repeated use.
Expect exceptional
standards
Designed to maximize efficiency and results means in addition to being aesthetically pleasing, our equipment is constructed of materials that balance durability, eco credentials and also how the end product will feel in members hands.
Putting our equipment through extensive testing ensures that industry accepted standards can be guaranteed. We perform a wide range of tests including; cyclic loading, mechanism durability, impact loading, mishandling and cosmetic durability along with shoe rotation on our mats and abrasion testing. Along with per product quality control checks all products are batch tested by a reputable 3rd party.
Design and Storage
Solutions
Each piece of equipment begins with a user insight or problem. We identify the limitations of existing equipment, and explore how it can be redesigned to optimize every movement and isolate the right muscles. The equipment is tested, refined, tested again and refined again. It needs to be engineered to withstand the stress of repeated use.
Throughout the process we constantly test the interaction between the body and equipment so we are having the right muscle response occurring consistently delivering the most effective training workout possible.
Our purpose-built storage solutions have been designed to have an optimal footprint for clubs, are easy for members to use and will amplify the aesthetic looks of any studio.
Attract and retain
more members
As 80% of all people paying for exercise are Millennials or Gen Z*1, investment in Smart Tech equipment creates a better experience than any other product, which aids in attracting and retaining this demographic. And as Les Mills attendees stay up to 49.5% longer than gym only members*2, investment in equipment that drives a better experience is beneficial for your club.
