Technogym has launched its latest innovation, the Technogym Checkup, an AI-based assessment station that redefines how fitness and wellness are personalised. Designed to measure both physical and cognitive parameters, the system helps users understand their current health profile and prescribes a targeted training plan that evolves over time.

Starting with a detailed analysis of physical and functional conditions, Technogym Checkup uses artificial intelligence to determine your Wellness Age, a number that reflects how fit your body truly is. Based on this, the system recommends a precision training programme that adjusts automatically as your performance and lifestyle improve.

Once you log in through the Technogym App, the Checkup conducts accurate tests to evaluate body composition, balance, mobility, strength, and even cognitive ability. All this data is processed by Technogym AI Coach, which transforms it into a personalised, data-backed fitness plan that’s easily accessible through the Technogym Ecosystem. Whether you’re training at home, at the gym, in a hotel, or even at work, your tailored programme is always within reach.

The innovation doesn’t just stop at personal fitness. The system’s ability to calculate your Wellness Age offers a clear, motivating metric to track progress  helping users become not just fitter but younger in wellness terms. With its adaptive AI, the programme continually evolves to keep workouts aligned with your goals, ensuring better and faster results.

For gyms, wellness centres, and other industry operators, Technogym Checkup presents a powerful opportunity to offer next-generation fitness experiences. It allows them to deliver a smooth, personalised journey for every member, right from onboarding to ongoing progress tracking, while also driving customer loyalty and new business growth.

Founded in 1983, Technogym has long been recognised as a global leader in fitness, wellness, and sports innovation. With more than 2,500 employees and a presence in over 100 countries, the brand powers more than 85,000 wellness centres and 400,000 homes worldwide. Technogym also continues its legacy as the Official Supplier to the Paris 2024 Olympics, marking its ninth partnership with the Games, a testament to its reputation as the go-to choice for athletes and champions globally.

Airbnb is enhancing its platform with new social features for Airbnb Experiences, designed to facilitate interaction among guests before, during, and after their activities. The updates also include improvements to search, maps, payments, AI-powered support, and host tools to better manage listings and pricing ahead of the busy winter travel season.

The social features aim to strengthen connections between guests. A survey in India revealed that over 90% of respondents wanted to learn more about fellow guests before booking. In response, Airbnb now displays attendee information, including locations, and allows guests to message each other during and after experiences. The Connections section in the Airbnb profile tab also helps users reconnect with past contacts, while maintaining full privacy control over profile sharing and messaging permissions.

To enhance discovery, Airbnb has expanded search results to include homes slightly outside original criteria and introduced updated maps. Users can filter by landmarks, attractions, restaurants, and more, with future plans to add satellite, street, and transit views. The Reserve Now, Pay Later option lets guests reserve eligible stays without upfront payment, initially launched in the U.S. and slated for global expansion.

Airbnb’s AI assistant has been upgraded for smarter, personalised support in English, Spanish, and French across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. The assistant can recognise users, reservations, or listings, offering faster responses and allowing common tasks like cancellations or date modifications directly in the chat interface.

Hosts gain new tools for flexibility and insight, including setting different cancellation policies for specific periods, receiving advanced price recommendations, and planning for seasonal trends. In the following year, hosts will also be able to view year-on-year earnings trends and compare seasonal performance through a redesigned dashboard.

These updates aim to create a more seamless and engaging experience for both guests and hosts, combining social connection, flexible payments, and smarter management tools across Airbnb’s platform.
