Training at home like an Olympian champion takes motivation, discipline and, of course, the right equipment:

Technogym Run

Since the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, running has been the sport that best embodies the spirit of the Games. Among modern runners, the go-to training method is HIIT, incorporating both High Intensity Training (HIT) and Interval Training (IT), the core principles of sports performance.

Technogym Run, the elite in home cardio and power training treadmills, is designed to meet the demands of High Intensity Interval Training— alternating between short bursts of highly intense activity (anaerobic exercise) and less intense active recovery periods in order to reach muscle failure and enhance functional capacity. Technogym Run is your ideal companion for boosting cardiovascular endurance and enjoying an authentic outdoor running feel. The secret lies in the innovative Technogym Slat Belt—a shock-absorbing, low-impact surface that makes every stride a pleasure. But Technogym Run isn’t just about running; it’s engineered to mimic the inertia of a sled with a load of up to 55 kg (121 lbs). When you hold the handles and push, you’ll enhance your core and lower limb strength during your session. Endurance, speed, strength and agility: Technogym Run helps you develop the essential traits for becoming a well-rounded athlete.

Technogym Ride

Like running, cycling has been part of the Olympic Games since the first modern Summer Olympics. Technogym’s smart bike takes cue from the geometry of UCI professional road bicycles: when you hop on Technogym Ride, you’ll experience a realistic pedalling feeling (thanks to the real gear shift), immerse yourself in the ride (thanks to the perfect bike fitting) and experience lightning-fast responsiveness—from 0 to 1000 watts in under half a second. In cycling, a watt measures the power the rider puts into the pedals, calculated over a specific duration of time. To fine tune their training sessions on the saddle, riders know they need to figure out their power threshold through a special test. Technogym Ride offers that possibility. Besides HR, power output and pedalling frequency, this home bike also provides a crucial metric called pedal printing that gives insight into cadence, symmetry, circularity and how your legs push the pedals. Technogym Ride lets you take the lead with training sessions of any impact level, all thanks to the TNT (Technogym Neuromuscular Training) programmes developed by the Research and Development Centre.

Technogym Skillrow

Rowing made its Olympic début at the 1900 Paris Games. A rowing athlete needs endurance, force-resistance and power, which require hours and hours of training, both in and out of the water. Skillrow uses the Aquafeel technology to mimic water rowing at home. Unlike conventional ergometers, its drive movement—the active part—more accurately reflects the speed of an actual oar.The resistance selector has two modes, “rowing” for cardiovascular training and “power” for resistance training. In the “power” mode, the extra load pushes your limits and builds strength. This type of training offers the advantage of a total body workout: using the right technique, rowing engages over 80% of your muscles, plus it’s gentle on the joints because of its low-impact nature.

Technogym Unica

At the Olympics, athletics encompasses several track and field disciplines that demand strength. These include the shot put, the discus, javelin and hammer throws, as well as disciplines like the pentathlon and decathlon. While some of these have been part of the Olympic Games since Athens 1896, their current standardised forms were established during the Helsinki Games of 1952. These disciplines all require strength training.

Unica features a timeless design, incorporating over 50 exercises in one elegant machine with a footprint of less than 1.5 m2 (16 ft2). It’s Technogym’s all-in-one gym, designed for complete versatility and home fitness. Training on Unica increases your strength and enhances your arm, leg and core muscles. Technogym Unica gives you the bonus of a safe and user-friendly multifunction gym, with guided movements perfect for beginners.
