Wellness as a lifestyle can bring important benefits to society by improving people’s quality of life, reducing government expenditure on healthcare, boosting corporate productivity, and respecting the environment.

How Technogym promotes wellness within their communities

For many years, Technogym has supported a number of cultural activities and campaigns to promote wellness as a social opportunity and to encourage regular physical exercise in partnership with numerous national professional associations (ANIF in Italy, UK Active, NL Actief, Fitness Australia, etc.) with an overall investment of around €100,000 in support of many national initiatives.

NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVES

Wellness Valley promotion

Within its own territory, the Wellness Foundation, promoted by Nerio Alessandri, has given life to the Wellness Valley project, aiming to create the world's first Wellness district in Romagna by leveraging the natural DNA of the region and Wellness as an economic (tourism, food, technology) and social opportunity (health and prevention).

Let's move for a better world

The scientific community recommends 150 minutes of physical activity per week, We deem it is crucial to contribute to spreading this message as widely as possible: our campaign "Let’s Move For a Better World" goes live every year, called "Let’s Move for a Better World Day," a global physical and virtual event that brings together a community of thousands of people in over 100 countries, dedicated to a day of movement.

The event is broadcasted on Technogym's social channels and led by our master trainers who offer a selection of online workouts. Live training sessions organized by clubs worldwide are also part of the event, providing an opportunity for them to reconnect with their communities.

Exercise is Medicine

The historic partnership between Technogym and the American College of Sports Medicine continues. Technogym is the Main Partner (with a contribution of 70,000 Euros) of the "Exercise is Medicine" initiative, which aims to globally promote the role of regular physical exercise as a genuine medicine for numerous conditions. Indeed, there is now a wealth of scientific evidence supporting the therapeutic benefits of exercise in the treatment of various metabolic and chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.

Training general practitioners on prescribing exercise as medicine

Since 2009, Technogym has promoted the prescription of physical exercise as a medical intervention for the prevention and treatment of the most common chronic conditions, in line with scientific evidence that has emerged over the decades. Thanks to this specific wellness lifestyle education program, 100 young doctors have been trained this year alone, contributing to the promotion of a culture of prevention with appropriate lifestyles in Romagna and the Wellness Valley.

According to the latest Wellness Valley Report, it is revealed that doctors in Romagna prescribe physical exercise 30% more than the Italian national average. The training activities on "Wellness Lifestyle and Exercise is Medicine" also continue for future pharmacists, students of the Master's Degree in Pharmacy at the University of Bologna, Rimini Campus, which began in 2021.
