The enhanced range has been developed in collaboration with end users and informed by extensive real-world testing, with improvements designed to make exercise more accessible, comfortable and effective.

Innerva said the redesign reflects its commitment to helping more people stay active, independent and confident through exercise, while giving operators equipment built for long-term performance in inclusive fitness and active ageing settings.

The new range includes improvements in accessibility, ergonomics and durability. Machines have been positioned lower to the floor to make getting on and off easier and safer, while sliding seats have been introduced on four machines to help users achieve the correct exercise position more comfortably.

The project was shaped through a co-design process involving older adult exercisers, who worked with Innerva’s product development team to test, evaluate and refine the equipment. Feedback from users helped inform key aspects of the design, from seating position and ease of access to the overall exercise experience.

The launch also adds two new machines to the Innerva circuit: the Pec & Deltoid and the Abductor/Adductor. These replace the previous Flys & Thighs machine with two dedicated pieces of equipment, allowing each movement pattern to be optimised more effectively and creating a more focused experience for users.

The enhanced range has been developed and tested at Innerva’s demonstration and research facility, Active Gold in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. Throughout the process, the equipment was repeatedly adjusted and reviewed in response to direct user feedback and comparisons with existing models.

Shaun Fox, director at Active Gold, said: ‘Innerva’s power-assisted exercise circuit makes such a difference to the lives of our members, helping them to maintain their mobility, confidence and independence.

‘They really valued the opportunity to work with the team to help refine the design of the equipment, which has led to improvements in usability, comfort and accessibility for all users.’

Matt Holland, head of product development at Innerva, said: ‘This project has been shaped by the people who use our equipment every day. By working directly with older adults throughout the design process, we’ve created a range that is easier to access, more comfortable to use and better equipped to support healthy ageing and independent living.

‘As demand continues to grow for inclusive exercise solutions that help people remain active for longer, these new designs provide a strong platform for future innovation and expansion across the Innerva range.’

Visitors to Elevate will be able to see the new equipment on stand F10, where Innerva will officially launch the enhanced range.

Innerva brand ambassador Mr Motivator, also known as Derrick Errol Evans, will be on the stand on Wednesday 17 June. He will also appear on the Debate Stage alongside his team of ‘motivators’ to discuss active ageing and the industry’s responsibility to better serve this growing demographic.
