An important growth driver fueling the adoption of fitness equipment across North America is the increased demand for technologically advanced fitness devices and machines. The region has currently been witnessing an upsurge in need for digitally connected gym equipment, establishing positive growth avenues for industry majors to come up with smart and digital devices and machines.

Besides, the company also introduced its Bowflex indoor cycling bike which was equipped with an open platform to connect the users with company’s application and was anticipated to deliver a connected fitness experience to the people using the product. The rise in public awareness about health and fitness is the major factor accelerating the growth of the fitness equipment market. Furthermore, growing young population and the growing backlog, improved lifestyle of the people, and the increase in non-renewable income, especially in developing countries are also expected to drive the growth of the fitness equipment market.
