Technogym has today been announced as the official fitness equipment supplier for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Technogym equipment will be on hand at fitness centres in the Athletes' Village, which will be home to 6,500 athletes and team officials from the 71 competing nations and territories during the Games. The Italian equipment provider will work with Glasgow Life to ensure the installations run smoothly, giving athletes access to a vital tool in their pre-competition regimen.

This announcement comes as little surprise, given that Technogym has been favoured as the official supplier to the last five Olympic Games.

“It is vital for our competing athletes to have access to the highest quality training equipment within the Village fitness centres,” said Glasgow 2014 chief executive David Grevemberg.

“We are delighted to have the experience of Technogym as part of the set-up to galvanise and support the participating teams as they aspire to new achievements this year.”
