Ever wish your gym equipment could think as hard as you do during a workout? Meet the next generation of fitness — smart machines that learn, adapt and help you train smarter, not just harder.

Gone are the days of guessing your perfect weight or rep range. With Biostrength technology, powered by artificial intelligence, your workout is tailored exactly to you — automatically adjusting resistance, tracking progress, and guiding you through every move for maximum results.

At Village Health & Wellness Clubs, we’re all about bringing you the latest innovations to make your fitness journey smoother, smarter and more motivating than ever. Ready to see what happens when cutting-edge tech meets your training goals? Let’s dive into the world of smart fitness machines.

What Makes a Machine ‘Smart’?

So, what actually makes a gym machine smart? It’s not just about flashy screens or Bluetooth connections — it’s about technology that learns from you and adapts to help you get the most out of every workout.

Smart fitness machines are powered by artificial intelligence, sensors, and connected software that track your movement, measure your strength, and automatically adjust to your performance. Instead of guessing your perfect resistance or fiddling with settings, these machines do the thinking for you.

They can:

• Personalise resistance based on your ability, ensuring every rep challenges you just enough.

• Track your progress in real time, showing you how your strength and endurance improve week by week.

• Guide your form with feedback and prompts to keep your movement safe and effective.

• Sync your data to an app or digital platform, so you can monitor your fitness journey anytime.

In short, smart machines take the guesswork out of training. Whether you’re lifting, pedalling or rowing, they use data-driven insights to make sure every session is tailored to you — so you can train more efficiently, recover smarter, and see results faster.

Meet Biostrength: The Game Changer

Say hello to Biostrength by Technogym — the smart training system that’s redefining how we build strength in the gym. Unlike traditional resistance machines, Biostrength uses artificial intelligence and advanced sensors to learn how your body moves, adapts, and performs.

It then tailors every workout to you, automatically adjusting resistance, range of motion, and tempo in real time. The technology continuously monitors your strength and fatigue to ensure every rep is safe, effective, and optimised for your goals.

Now available at several Village Health & Wellness Club locations across the UK, including Bracknell and the soon-to-open Reading, Biostrength brings the future of fitness right to the gym floor.

Smart Fitness Machines You’ll Find at the Gym

Village Health & Wellness Clubs offer a range of smart fitness machines designed to enhance your workout experience through advanced technology and personalised training. 

Here's a selection of these innovative machines:

1. Technogym Checkup Machine

Ever fancied having a personalised fitness plan right at your fingertips? Meet the Technogym Checkup Machine — an advanced fitness assessment tool that analyses both your physical and cognitive health. 

It measures key indicators such as mobility, balance, body composition, and cognitive performance to determine your wellness age and create a tailored training program.

Using this data, the Technogym AI Coach designs customised workouts to help you reach your goals more effectively. It’s easy to get started: 

How to Use 

1. Log in. Use your gym card, wristband, or Technogym app to log in. If you’re not sure how, just ask someone, it takes two seconds.

2. Follow the instructions on screen. The CheckUp will guide you through a few basic tests. Nothing too wild — we’re talking things like: Reaching and stretching, Standing still on one leg, A quick grip strength test, Stepping on and off to measure your body comp and A couple of fast finger-tap games (weirdly fun). Just go at your own pace, the machine explains everything as you go.

3. See your results. After the tests, you’ll get your results straight away. You’ll see your Wellness Age, your strengths, and where you might want to improve.

4. Get your personalised plan. Based on how you did, it’ll suggest exercises or workouts that are tailored to you. You can view these in the Technogym app and use them around the gym.

2. Technogym Biostrength Machines

The Biostrength series includes machines such as the leg press, chest press, and shoulder press, all powered by advanced AI-driven Biodrive technology. These machines adjust resistance and provide real-time feedback to ensure optimal performance and safety. 

They offer goal-based training programs — including Tone, Hypertrophy, Power, and Strong — which automatically tailor resistance, tempo, and rest intervals to achieve specific fitness outcomes.

1. Select your desired goal (e.g., Tone, Hypertrophy).

2. Adjust the seat and settings as prompted.

3. Follow the on-screen guidance for exercises.

4. Monitor your progress through the integrated system.

These indoor cycling bikes feature a 22" display with high-quality visuals and sound, offering an immersive experience akin to live classes. Users can select workouts, follow trainers, and join global challenges, all while tracking performance metrics. 

You can even enjoy your favourite Netflix show, browse the internet or look at beautiful landscapes whilst working out!

1. Choose a workout or class from the display.

2. Adjust the bike settings for comfort.

The SkiErg is a full-body, low-impact machine that mimics cross-country skiing movements. It engages arms, shoulders, back, core, and legs, offering a cardiovascular workout that also builds strength and endurance. 

Real-time feedback and pre-set workouts make it a versatile tool for performance tracking, with the PM5 monitor providing detailed data such as distance, speed, pace, calories burned, and stroke rate.

How to Use:

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Grip the handles above your head.

3. Pull the handles down in a skiing motion, bending knees and pushing hips back.

4. Adjust intensity by varying speed and force.

5. Cardio Training Equipment

Whether you prefer pounding the treadmill or taking on the cross trainer, you’ll find that the cardio equipment at Village is packed with smart technology.

Many machines can measure your weight, analyse body composition and even calculate your basal metabolic rate — helping you get the most from every workout. It also enables our Personal Trainers to design highly personalised workout programmes and long-term wellness plans tailored specifically to your goals. 

Your Village Gym Personal Trainer will help you set up your MyWellness account, where you can log, view and track your progress to stay motivated. You can even sync your data with popular fitness apps like Fitbit and MapMyFitness to get a complete picture of your fitness journey, both inside and outside the gym.

Benefits of AI-Guided Workouts 

AI-guided workouts are transforming the way we train by bringing personalisation, efficiency, and motivation to a whole new level. 

Unlike traditional programs, AI systems analyse your performance in real time and adjust exercises, intensity, and rest periods based on your goals, fitness level, and progress. This means every session is tailored specifically to you, maximising results while reducing the risk of injury.

Precision Tracking

AI monitors metrics like heart rate, movement patterns, and repetitions, giving you immediate feedback to perfect your form and ensure effective workouts. Over time, this data helps identify strengths, weaknesses, and trends, allowing the AI to optimise future sessions for continual improvement.

Motivation and Engagement

AI coaches can simulate a personal trainer experience, providing encouragement, adjusting challenges, and offering variety to prevent workout boredom. Whether you’re aiming for weight loss, muscle gain, or overall fitness, AI-guided programs keep you accountable, ensuring every session moves you closer to your goals.

Flexibility and Accessibility

With AI-guided workouts, you can train anytime, anywhere, without compromising on quality. Intelligent guidance built into machines like smart bikes, Biostrength stations, and functional training rigs makes even complex routines simple to follow and highly effective.

Real-Time Feedback

Smart fitness combines data-driven personalisation, safety, and motivation to help you train smarter, not just harder. By leveraging technology, you get the benefits of a personal trainer, a structured program, and real-time feedback—all in one efficient workout experience.
