The growing focus on health and fitness is transforming the connected gym equipment market. With more people looking for smarter, tech-driven workout solutions, demand is rising for devices that combine exercise with personalized, data-driven experiences. This shift is fueled by widespread smartphone use and better internet connectivity, making smart fitness equipment more accessible than ever.
According to a report by Technavio, the global connected gym equipment market is expected to grow by $10.16 billion between 2025 and 2029, with an annual growth rate of 42.4%. Much of this growth comes from cardiovascular training equipment, such as treadmills and ellipticals. These devices are popular for improving heart health and supporting weight management. Since they have shorter lifespans than strength training equipment, they also drive higher replacement sales, adding to the market’s momentum.
The demand is also fueled by rising awareness around chronic conditions such as obesity and cardiovascular disease. Consumers are turning to connected equipment to help manage these conditions, as the technology provides real-time feedback and personalized guidance to improve overall health outcomes.
North America is set to lead this growth, contributing 39% of the market’s expansion. The United States is at the forefront, thanks to its high smartphone adoption, reliable internet access, and growing interest in connected fitness technology. Smart equipment designed to address health issues like obesity and inactivity is particularly popular, solidifying the region’s role as a key player.
The market includes both residential and commercial users, ranging from home gyms to fitness clubs, hotels, and corporate wellness programs. Companies such as Peloton, TECHNOGYM, and Johnson Health Tech Co. Ltd. are integrating features like app connectivity, real-time progress tracking, and cloud-based analytics into their products. These advancements aim to enhance workout efficiency and provide users with more convenient and personalized fitness experiences.
