TecnoSport, a leading Spanish company specializing in applied technology for strength training, has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Chinese smart fitness and rehabilitation manufacturer Eliga Sports Technology. Under the partnership, TecnoSport becomes the sole distributor of Eliga’s high-tech equipment across Spain, introducing integrated, AI-driven training solutions to both the commercial fitness and medical rehabilitation sectors.
A Year in the Making: Validating Hardware and Software Excellence
The strategic alliance marks the culmination of a year-long evaluation and negotiation process between the two firms. Prior to formalizing the agreement, TecnoSport’s leadership team conducted an on-site visit to Eliga’s manufacturing and R&D facilities in China, gaining firsthand insight into its production processes, hardware engineering, and proprietary software architecture.
About Eliga Sports Technology: A National High-Tech Leader in Digital Training
Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, Eliga Sports Technology is a recognized Chinese National High-Tech Enterprise specializing in the research, development, and manufacturing of comprehensive digital training systems and intelligent sports equipment.
According to official company disclosures and reports by China’s General Administration of Sport, Eliga has established a full-stack digital training ecosystem:
• Intelligent Hardware Portfolio: Eliga’s product lines span AI-powered resistance strength machines, pneumatic training equipment, smart fitness assessment stations, velocity-based training (VBT) and force plate monitoring systems, as well as sports rehabilitation and fascial therapy devices.
• Integrated Digital Ecosystem: Powered by its proprietary PAMFA+ Digital Physical Training Platform and intelligent management app, Eliga connects standalone gym and clinic equipment into a unified data network. This enables elite sports teams, rehabilitation clinics, and fitness centers to streamline physical testing, program prescription, real-time load monitoring, and performance analytics. Eliga also actively collaborates with leading academic institutions, such as the Shanghai University of Sport, on advanced digital strength and conditioning assessment research.
Paradigm Shift: From Intuitive Workouts to Data-Driven Precision
“Eliga is a powerhouse in China across both the medical and fitness sectors,” said Andreu Fadó, CEO of TecnoSport. “Their solution seamlessly integrates strength equipment, software, and artificial intelligence to track and analyze critical metrics such as velocity, power output, and performance progression. This allows practitioners and coaches to conduct individualized tracking and tailor training programs to each user’s exact physiological needs.”
Fadó emphasized that objective metrics are redefining modern training methodologies: “The future of strength training lies in having objective data to accurately evaluate an individual’s progress. It is no longer merely about lifting a specific weight or completing a set number of repetitions—it is about understanding how a person’s physical capacity evolves over time.”
China’s Rise as a Global Benchmark in Sports Technology
The visit to China also underscored a broader shift in the global sports and medical equipment landscape. For decades, European distributors looked primarily to the United States as their main benchmark for technological innovation. However, Fadó noted that China is rapidly claiming a leading role on the global stage.
“We are witnessing how China is gaining prominence and becoming the new major technological reference point,” Fadó concluded. “Their ability to develop and integrate hardware, software, and artificial intelligence under one roof is ushering in a new era for our industry.”
