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:
“It is impossible to dissociate language from science or science from language, because every natural science always involves three things: the sequence of phenomena on which the science is based; the abstract concepts which call these phenomena to mind; and the words in which the concepts are expressed. To call forth a concept, a word is needed; to portray a phenomenon, a concept is needed. All three mirror one and the same reality.”
—Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794)
“Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
