Thanks to artificial intelligence, the Technogym App creates a fitness program that fits all the needs of women, followed by qualified smart coaches through on-demand videos at any time and place they wish. Sedentariety is out of style!

According to statistics from the Italian Department of Sport, around 36.3% of people in Italy are sedentary. And despite the fact that the gender gap between sedentary men and women narrowed from 2010 (7.8%) to 2022 (5.1%), women are still less likely to do exercise than men, with 38.8% of women not taking part in physical activity compared with 33.7% of men.

Physical activity is a key element for the health and well-being of everyone, but it plays a particularly significant role in the various stages of a woman’s life, from adolescence to adulthood, including pregnancy and the menopause.

During adolescence, physical activity is key to the physical and mental development of girls: it helps improve the learning process, it positively affects mood, and enhances self-esteem and mental well-being, reducing anxiety and stress. What’s more, it is also important to take part in sporting activities during adolescence in order to start establishing healthy lifestyle habits that can be maintained over time.

On reaching adulthood, it is essential to keep up these active, healthy routines started during adolescence, benefiting from the positive effects of movement both at a physical and psychological level. You only have to think about the reduction in stress and anxiety, but also the improvement in self-esteem, sleep quality and work productivity. Not to mention that regular exercise reduces the risk of getting sick and has a positive influence on social relationships, facilitating interactions at all ages.

An ad-hoc training program during pregnancy promotes the health of both mother and baby, reducing the risk of complications and improving muscular strength and endurance, which can in turn make the birth and post-partum recovery easier. Another significant benefit is the reduction of anxiety that can arise during pregnancy, and therefore the overall improvement in mood. Equally important, exercising during pregnancy undoubtedly promotes a rapid return to a healthy weight.

Even more so, physical activity is crucial during the menopause as it encourages long-term well-being. The arrival of this stage in life brings with it significant changes to the hormone profile; again, exercise is shown to be a powerful natural medicine to effectively respond to these changes. For example, it has been shown that regularly moving during the menopause contributes to stabilizing mood and keeping weight under control, but also to preventing the onset of cardiovascular diseases and slowing down ageing.

The strength of women
A lot more can be done to promote a culture of movement among women, and the world of fitness is seeing the growing participation of women in disciplines which until just a few years ago were dominated by men. According to the Mindbody Research Report 2024, women are increasingly interested in activities that favour the development of strength and power. Almost 50% of women are interested in strength training such as High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Tabata and Bootcamps.

Technogym always by your side
Technogym is there for women who want to continue training, but above all for those who haven’t started yet.

Through the Technogym App, free and available on iOS and Android, Technogym offers custom workouts to women of all ages, which can be built based on personal needs and interests, just like having a personal trainer.

The Technogym App guides anyone who wants to train towards reaching personal goals through custom workout programmes and on-demand content for any time of life: from adolescence through pregnancy to menopause. The “Prenatal Fit” session, for example, offers light dumbbell and bodyweight exercises to increase strength and tone, and support the body at a time of significant change such as pregnancy. Or, to combat menopause symptoms or times of increased stress in life, the Yoga section of the Technogym App offers sessions for all needs, from power to post-flight to energizing yoga.

Whether your aim is to stay in shape, improve your performance in your favourite sport or live a healthier lifestyle, the Technogym App will recommend the most suitable workout to do in the gym, in a hotel, at the office, outdoors or at home, with or without equipment. Technogym Coach, the digital trainer based on artificial intelligence, can guide the user step by step, creating bespoke workouts known as Precision Programs. Starting is simple: just create an account and do the assessment of starting condition, goals and available time to get a highly customised programme that is adapted to the available equipment. Technogym Coach adapts to the user’s fitness programme, suggesting what equipment to use for cardio training, such as Technogym Run, the quietest and low consumption treadmill ever, and for strength training through the Abdominal Crunch, Chest, Leg Curl, Leg Extension, Leg Press, Lower Back and Vertical Traction equipment. Not to mention total body workouts: the Technogym App is a perfect guide for women who want to try their hand at using products such as Technogym Bench, the innovative functional and strength training station that offers infinite training opportunities in just one station thanks to its enclosed tools.

For body and mind
Not just a physical workout: the Technogym App is continuously updated with ad-hoc content to improve mental and physical well-being, while Technogym Coach suggests guided meditations and customized nutritional advice to achieve a balance of body and mind and to guide women on the path to well-being. The “Find your meditation” section offers numerous playlists of mindfulness audio content grouped by objectives, such as Learn Mindfulness, Cultivate Personal Growth and Sleep Well. Not to mention the Wellness magazine, which brings together articles on training, lifestyle, sport, but also nutrition, offering advice on how to implement a balanced diet and how to improve your eating habits.
