In recent years, the German company gym80 has established itself as one of the world's leading manufacturers of fitness and strength equipment. With an impressive increase in sales and a continuous expansion of production capacity in Gelsenkirchen, gym80 is underlining its claim to set standards in terms of quality, innovation and global presence.
Growth and international expansion
In 2024, gym80 exceeded the 60 million euro turnover mark for the first time and was able to expand its business by a further 20% in the first half of 2025. The manufacturer is not only benefiting from its strong domestic market, but also from growing international demand: more than half of sales are now generated through exports, with the most important markets being North America, South Korea, Australia and the Gulf region in addition to Europe. This global orientation is supported by a constantly growing team and a production area of more than 55,000 square meters in Gelsenkirchen.
Innovation as a success factor
gym80 has always been committed to uncompromising quality and continuous development. Each piece of equipment is the result of decades of experience, German engineering and the aspiration to offer biomechanically optimal training solutions. The innovative strength is particularly evident in the introduction of new machines: 13 new models were presented at FIBO 2024 alone, featuring improved motion sequences, more targeted muscle response and optimized training methods. One highlight is the revised PURE KRAFT Pendulum Squat, which can be individually adapted to different body sizes and training needs thanks to adjustable components.
Variety of equipment for every training goal
The gym80 portfolio covers almost all areas of modern fitness training and is aimed at a wide range of target groups - from beginners to professionals, from fitness studios to physiotherapy.
Strength training equipment:
The Standard series offers a wide selection of guided equipment for all muscle groups, characterized by perfect biomechanics, individually adjustable resistance and the highest material quality. Classics such as leg extension, leg curl, chest press and lat pull-down are represented as well as innovative solutions for functional training.
Combination machines:
With the SYGNUM COMBO line, gym80 combines two exercises in one machine - for example, abdominals and back or leg curl and leg extension. These space-saving machines offer maximum flexibility and a wide range of adjustment options for an ideal load profile.
Free weights and rack systems:
Robust racks, multi-presses and free weight stations are available for ambitious athletes and professional studios, meeting the highest standards of stability and safety.
Cardio and functional equipment:
In addition to strength equipment, the range also includes modern cardio equipment such as treadmills, cross trainers, cycle ergometers and rowing machines. In the functional training area, gym80 offers cable pulls, cable pull stations and other accessories that enable versatile, everyday forms of training.
Rehabilitation and prevention:
The MED80 series is specially tailored to therapeutic applications and prevention programs. It supports targeted muscle-building training after injuries or operations and is used in many rehabilitation facilities.
Technology and individualization
A hallmark of gym80 is the ability to customize equipment to the customer's wishes. Colors, upholstery, handles and even special training functions can be selected as required. In addition, gym80 relies on high-quality materials such as the patented oval tube, which ensures particular stability and durability. The integration of modern technologies - such as digital training control or smart networking - opens up new possibilities for studios and exercisers in terms of training planning and evaluation.
