Washington, DC, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Speeda leader in smart fitness innovation, today announced a global partnership with ATHX, making it the official Smart Fitness Equipment Partner through December 2027. The exclusive category agreement includes 57 international events across Europe, North America and Asia Pacific, marking an important step in Speediance’s expansion into competitive functional fitness.
ATHX is a 2.5-hour continuous fitness competition across six zones, with one set challenge designed to test every aspect of fitness and take athletes to the next level. At the center of the alliance is Speediance’s all-new product, Gym Nano, a portable, precision-powered digital resistance bike that delivers peak performance anywhere.
Gym Nano will serve as the official smart fitness equipment deployed within ATHX’s warm-up and recovery zones throughout the partnership. The strengths perfectly match the high-intensity training requirements of ATHX:
- Pro-grade resistance, full range of motion: Gym Nano delivers 220 lbs of precise digital resistance and a 5.1 meter rope for competitive, heavy-load, high-displacement hybrid training – without the spatial confines and restricted trajectory of fixed-rope machines.
- Precision training, assessment, training and validation of full cycle tracking: Gym Nano builds a complete VBT assessment train validation loop, powered by real-time data feedback. By accurately tracking core metrics such as speed, power and RFD, every repetition becomes fully measurable and blind training is eliminated.
- Everywhere and everyone: Gym Nano enables stringent S&C conditions in any environment, powered by a highly compact resistance motor and a versatile mounting system.
Speediance will make its official booth debut at the ATHX Glasgow on June 20-21, 2026, where Gym Nano will be available for athlete use in the official warm-up area for the first time. Six Gym Nano units will be available on site, with three in the athlete warm-up zone and three in the Speediance booth alongside the flagship product Gym monster 2s. Athletes will have the opportunity to experience the Speediance ecosystem of intelligent strength training and real-time performance measurement firsthand.
“ATHX provides the ideal environment to demonstrate how Gym Nano supports high-performance training,” said Tao Liu, founder and CEO of Speediance. “This partnership allows us to demonstrate our technology in demanding performance environments, while connecting directly with athletes who are continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible.”
The partnership reflects Speediance’s broader commitment to move beyond traditional home fitness and into performance-based training environments. By connecting intelligent resistance technology to competitive fitness communities, Speediance continues to advance its vision of a connected ecosystem that supports training, performance and long-term wellness.
