Ground breaking advancements in fitness technology to be showcased at the event
Smart Fitness Equipment that now includes features like AI-driven feedback on form, built-in virtual trainers, and adaptive resistance technology that can automatically adjust to the user’s effort level and desired intensity will be available for attendees to explore.
This technology enhances the effectiveness of workouts directly on the gym floor by ensuring users perform exercises with correct form and optimal intensity. By integrating smart equipment, gyms can offer members a more engaging, effective, and personalised workout session. This not only helps in reducing the risk of injuries but also drives member retention through technological engagement. The trend underscores the fitness industry’s move towards more technologically advanced, user-focused solutions that cater to the evolving needs of gym-goers.
Emerging health and wellness trends shifting consumer preferences and priorities in the fitness industry
Advances in recovery technology, such as cryotherapy chambers, advanced compression garments, and sleep optimisation tools, are gaining traction. As understanding of recovery’s crucial role in fitness grows, more gyms and fitness centres are beginning to offer wellness-specific solutions that include advanced recovery technologies. By incorporating these technologies, gyms are not only enhancing the value of their memberships but are also catering to the increasing consumer demand for comprehensive wellness services. This trend reflects a broader industry shift towards creating a more holistic health and fitness experience.
AusIndustry tell us that they are seeing tailored nutrition plans based on individual health data, preferences, and genetic information, often supported by AI and machine learning for continuous adaptation. This trend reflects a shift towards more personalised health solutions, acknowledging that diet and nutrition are not one-size-fits-all.
AusFitness Industry will be held at the International Convention Centre (ICC), Sydney on October 11th and 12th, 2024. It runs concurrently alongside the fitness consumer event, AusFitness Expo, which is held at the same venue from October 11th to 13th.
Co-founder and Director of AusFitness Industry, Shaun Krenz, says, “This event is about bringing the best in the industry under one roof to foster learning and inspire innovation. It’s an essential platform for making new connections and taking your facility and member experience to the next level.”
