"Running Music" is part of Technogym's Mywellness cloud based digital platform providing users with a fully personalized training experience both inside and outside the gym. Mywellness is accessed via mobile app, and through UNITY, the first Android-based console display on Technogym cardio training equipment. By logging into UNITY the user can access his/her personal account and personal training programs, favorite entertainment options - and now music.

In addition to the "Running Music" preview, Technogym will showcase all Mywellness digital platform features, app and integrations including "MyRunning logbook".
