Technogym will also aim to hit a global milestone of 200 million MOVEs during IHRSA with the Let's Move for a Better World challenge, designed to impact childhood obesity, after hitting 100 million MOVEs earlier this week. "Innovation has always been the engine behind Technogym's growth. We have invested in design, robust biomechanics and digital technology, as well as research and development, and all of our solutions showcased at IHRSA this year reflect this DNA," said Nerio Alessandri, President and Founder, Technogym. "Alongside investing in innovation, Technogym has always been committed to promoting wellness as a social opportunity to build a better world based on people's health." Let's Move for a Better World Challenge At IHRSA, Technogym will be promoting Let's Move for a Better World challenge. The first worldwide wellness initiative to fight childhood obesity, the Let's Move for a Better World challenge pits operators and their members against each other globally in health competition to collect the most amount of MOVEs (Technogym's metric of measuring physical movement) through physical activity from March 2-22, 2015. The facility in each country that amasses the most MOVEs will have the unique opportunity to affect public health in their communities by donating Technogym's Easy Line equipment to a local school of its choice. The Let's Move for a Better World challenge has registered over 357 facilities worldwide in 16 different countries, including 36 facilities in the United States, that have generated over 100 million MOVEs after only one week into the program. This represents over 45 million calories burned or roughly 14,330 lbs lost, which speaks to members' proven enthusiasm to rally around social causes as they work out. To commemorate the 100M MOVEs milestone, a special celebration on the show floor hosted by Technogym President and Founder Nerio Alessandri will take place at 5pm on Thursday, March 12 at Technogym Booth #1722. "Through established cause-related programs like Let's Move for a Better World, operators can better engage and motivate their members as part of a larger social movement to combat childhood obesity in their local communities," said Alessandri.
