Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic games appoints Technogym as official fitness equipment supplier

Technogym has been chosen as Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic games’ Official and Exclusive supplier of fitness equipment and digital technologies for the athletes’ preparation. In Tokyo, Technogym will equip 30 training centres for the athletes to train prior to and during the Olympic Games with the main centres being the Olympic and Paralympic Village.
