Concept and Mission
In 1992 Technogym defined its concept of Wellness as a lifestyle based on regular physical activity, balanced diet and a positive outlook, and the tagline “The Wellness Company” stating its brand position was added to the corporate logo. The concept of Wellness is founded on the ancient Roman maximum of “mens sana in corpore sano” (a healthy mind in a healthy body) and is a genuine alternative to the American concept of fitness. Fitness focuses on a small group of sports enthusiasts, whereas Wellness speaks to a much wider range of people who wish to improve their lifestyle. At Technogym this strategic position means developing user-friendly, stylish equipment for various population targets (including beginners, the aged, sports enthusiasts and users with specific pathologies).

Famous quotes containing the words concept and/or mission:
“The two most far-reaching critical theories at the beginning of the latest phase of industrial society were those of Marx and Freud. Marx showed the moving powers and the conflicts in the social-historical process. Freud aimed at the critical uncovering of the inner conflicts. Both worked for the liberation of man, even though Marx’s concept was more comprehensive and less time-bound than Freud’s.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“Not in vain is Ireland pouring itself all over the earth. Divine Providence has a mission for her children to fulfill; though a mission unrecognized by political economists. There is ever a moral balance preserved in the universe, like the vibrations of the pendulum. The Irish, with their glowing hearts and reverent credulity, are needed in this cold age of intellect and skepticism.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
