With the facility extending over five levels, offering many personalised training experiences and providing customers with innovative and unique equipment, Virgin Active Bligh Street Club General Manager, Brett Kinninmont has explained the "three main reasons why Virgin Active Bligh Street chose Technogym to train its customers".

Kinninmont advises "first of all, the attention to detail and the design of the products, which fits perfectly with the environments of the centre creating an exclusive and luxurious environment.

"(Second) according to the biomechanics of Technogym equipment, which allows trainers to achieve results thanks to the best technology on the market.

"And finally, the connectivity of the products that fits perfectly with the digital strategy of the centre. Thanks to the digital platform Mywellness and the Technogym Ecosystem that connects all Technogym products and programs, users can view on their profile and in the mobile application all their personal data, collected both during classes and during any type of physical activity, on Technogym equipment or outdoors."
