On May 21, the 2026 China International Sporting Goods Expo kicked off in Xiamen. As a bellwether for the global sports industry, this year’s expo has brought together more than 2,000 companies in the sector, showcasing cutting-edge innovations and breakthroughs in sports technology.
Impulse, a leading fitness equipment manufacturing service provider in China, once again took the stage as an official partner. Bringing nearly 30 new products making their debut in the domestic market, it presented four major scenario-based matrices—“digitalization, strength training, cardio training, and outdoor”—offering the world a new “Intelligent Manufacturing in China” business card.
Impulse Show Nearly 30 new products debut, stand out with innovative achievements receiving in-depth validation from the market
At this exhibition, once Impulse’s many new products were unveiled, they immediately won widespread favor. For example, the classic flagship ECP series has now been developed to phase III. Most models have adopted a linkage resistance adjustment structure that is tailored to the strength curves of target muscle groups, ensuring user comfort and training efficiency during strength workouts.
The HR007 non-motorized treadmill made its international debut at Germany’s FIBO show in April this year. Thanks to strong market response and positive user feedback, it has already received preliminary market validation.
The LCS series is a new “powerhouse” line of strength equipment developed by the company to address issues commonly seen in traditional strength machines—such as poor transmission smoothness, excessive free play, and uneven force transmission. Featuring an entirely new drive system with upgraded structure and mechanics, it delivers smoother, more precise, and more stable training experiences for users while reducing maintenance and operating costs for facility operators.
In addition, there are many other star products on display: the XSC500 stair climber that went viral last year; the ECP307 multi-function high pulley lat pulldown trainer; the ECP624 super squat machine; and others. As soon as they appeared at the show, they were warmly received by professional attendees. According to reports, these new products had already been showcased at Germany’s FIBO expo earlier this year, where several models attracted multiple batch purchase intentions.
Moreover, the company took home five major awards at this exhibition. Among them, Impulse’s HSR007 rowing–skiing combo trainer stood out from numerous contenders to win the gold award outright, becoming a benchmark product in commercial multifunctional cardio equipment within this year’s “Quality Leadership · Integrated Procurement” program. The company’s embedded “National Fitness Community” solution and its ten-year inspection-and-maintenance service project in Shibei District of Qingdao also received awards in the Solution and Case categories respectively.
Frequent recognition of its professional training equipment and related solutions within the industry reflects that the company is no longer just a traditional fitness hardware manufacturer; it has transformed into a modern enterprise with strong independent innovation capabilities and robust proprietary brand operations. Behind this transformation lies firm execution of its core strategy of “independent R&D and design,” marking Impulse’s successful high-quality leap from being an OEM producer to becoming a provider of value output.
On-site staff introduced that the company has now integrated treadmills, elliptical machines, rowing machines, strength equipment, and other devices with the AI large model scientific health platform. After collecting users’ physical assessment data, the system relies on powerful AI algorithm models and vast health exercise data to automatically generate personalized exercise prescriptions and intelligently adjust equipment resistance and training intensity in real time. Upon completing the training, it can automatically produce visual data reports and exercise prescriptions for the next cycle, not only recording detailed exercise data and performance but also providing precise dietary nutrition recommendations based on individual indicators such as lactate threshold and oxygen consumption, offering scientific guidance for efficient training in the next cycle.
This new “software and hardware integration” ecosystem not only provides users with professional guidance comparable to a personal trainer but also addresses the challenge of implementing tailored scientific health approaches for diverse users. Impulse Chairman and President Liu Hongtao stated that today’s home fitness equipment has achieved a transformative upgrade from “passive execution” to “proactive intelligence.”
Dual drivers of globalization and localization, intelligent manufacturing fortifies the long-term competitive moat
As a global enterprise, Impulse is accelerating its expansion with a dual-engine strategy. On one hand, leveraging its ODM/OEM export business as a foundation, the company maintains long-term stable partnerships with global leading brands such as PRECOR and BH, with the number of international clients nearing 200 and covering core markets in Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East. On the other hand, focusing on the strategic development of its own brand, IMPULSE, the brand has achieved rapid growth in key countries such as Spain, the UK, Russia, India, and Mexico, with continuous increases in penetration across commercial and residential usage scenarios overseas.
At the same time, in the domestic market, Impulse is seizing the strategic opportunity presented by “Healthy China 2030” and has made “Empowering the happiness of all ages and safeguarding the authenticity of people’s livelihoods” its core goal. It has established a product development system characterized by “precise adaptation, intelligent empowerment, quality benchmarks, and comprehensive coverage,” aiming to deeply integrate product innovation with livelihood protection.
It is understood that the company is deeply involved in the commercial, residential, and outdoor segments of the market, steadily advancing the “Eight Entry Project” (into government agencies, enterprises, communities, schools, military camps, rural areas, hospitals, and households), thus building a comprehensive health service platform. It also focuses on two core scenarios: high-quality elderly care for seniors and healthy growth for children, accurately addressing the pain points of elder-friendly and child-friendly services to create warm, high-standard, and highly practical benchmark products, contributing solid efforts toward achieving the sports industry’s 7 trillion RMB target.
Supporting Impulse’s cutting-edge product innovation and quality standards is the “hard power” of its production and manufacturing capabilities. Currently, the company has established a new benchmark for digital intelligent production. Through the in-depth application of simulation technology and the PLM system, its R&D cycle efficiency has increased by 50%. The comprehensive implementation of a flexible production system has shortened the personalized customization delivery cycle to within 30 days. This modern manufacturing system, driven by dual advancements in digital intelligence and lean operations, has become the core moat for Impulse to build long-term competitiveness.
Summary
This exhibition is not only a concentrated review of Impulse’s new products, but also a practical exercise in its globalization strategy and intelligent manufacturing upgrade. Standing at the new historical starting point of the “15th Five-Year Plan,” Impulse is accelerating its pace with unprecedented strategic resolve and innovative drive.
