With personalised live and on-demand content, and dedicated training sessions, Technogym Live is a must-have in your home gym

If you’ve been keeping up with the Kardashians, you would be familiar with how the reality stars love their home gyms and intense workout regimens. Their secret to staying motivated in their fitness regime? Technogym’s seamless and luxurious at-home gym technology.

Don’t miss: Technogym Redefines the Idea of Home Workouts With Sleek, Smart Fitness Equipment

The Italian brand's state-of-the-art exercise equipment have long been a hot favourite among celebrities, Formula 1 drivers and athletes, and we were keen to experience the revolutionary technology for ourselves. So we popped by Technogym’s sleek showroom at Mohamed Sultan Road to experience their equipment with a full workout. In particular, we wanted to see how the Technogym Live technology performed on its machines and how it would power up a typical gym experience.

Technogym Live is a console system that allows users access to revolutionary workout experiences that include live and on-demand content, an extensive library of on-demand digital workouts and a wide range of television channels, Netflix and more. 

The first thing you will notice upon stepping onto any of the Technogym Live-equipped machines is how quickly the machine is able to pull up your personalised information, workout details and favourite content so you can pick up right where you left off. 

Stepping onto a Technogym Live-enabled machine will allow it to recognise that you are about to start a workout. From there, scan a QR code on the screen and all your details will immediately be synced up to the system. This also means that when you hop off a machine and move to another, all your ongoing workout details will come right along with you. 

Upon launching a workout, what was immediately obvious to us was the vast array of onscreen options that cater to every kind of gym-goer. 

If you are a traditionalist and enjoy scenic views of the outdoors as you exercise, opt for Outdoor Landscapes and you will enjoy a variety of natural and urban routes from around the world. We loved how the scenes quickly adapted to our workout intensities and how lifelike the whole experience was. 

Love following trendy routines from your favourite influencers or trainers? Technogym Sessions is the perfect fit. You only need to choose a specific training series based on your personal goals. A virtual trainer will then guide you through this one-on-one session while providing encouragement and suggesting intensity levels which you are free to adjust according to your own needs.

The library also includes workout videos led by famous trainers from London, New York, Milan and Los Angeles and varies in length and focus.

One of our favourite features of Technogym Live was Technogym Routines, a setting that allows for a variety of movements and exercises with intensities that are automatically set by the equipment. 

This is helpful for beginners because you will receive step-by-step guidance either by video or through pop-up messages if you are focused on some of its entertainment content. 

As you get better, the system will adapt accordingly, allowing you to build stamina and strength gradually.

The mesmerising digital experience combined with the classic Italian design synonymous with the brand’s machines essentially takes away the need for a physical personal trainer yet allows you to maximise your workout potential in a completely bespoke and luxurious way. 

The machines almost anticipate your every need and next move making it an utterly sensual, vibrant and incomparable fitness session—one that we are pumped up to experience again.
