“RiminiWellness is the most important trade fair of the year. We brought 25 new machines to the 2025 edition for their world premiere. At RiminiWellness, we meet lots of enthusiasts from Italy, Europe and the rest of the world, as well as professionals and our long-standing customers, who come to try out the new lines and products and place orders.”

"In addition to Pilates innovations, at RiminiWellness we also have a strong focus on strength, from bodybuilding to functional training. Thanks to digital technology and connectivity, we have a new product that tests six physical and cognitive parameters. The artificial intelligence of our ecosystem automatically creates a completely customised program based on the goals, needs and passions of each individual.
RiminiWellness is our home, a great opportunity, a great showcase to connect with the industry, our partners, fitness centres throughout Italy and internationally, trainers and, of course, the large community of enthusiasts who train every day for sport, fitness and health."

RiminiWellness is the most important event of the year in our sector, a springboard for the new products we offer, an event where all operators can discover lots of new developments and plan the most proper investments for the coming season. The audience at RiminiWellness is extremely diverse: there are both enthusiasts and industry professionals looking for solutions and ideas. In recent years, professionals from other sectors, from the hotel industry to other areas, have also been attending, because fitness is now everywhere.”

We have also proposed circuits with multiple machines that work multiple muscle groups, both for hotels and personal training studios.
RiminiWellness is a time for reflection and study on what to offer the following year. RiminiWellness is the ultimate fitness showcase. This year, we found many buyers from both Europe and oversea, from Canada, the US, Pakistan and Morocco.”

We served more than 10,000 people in just three days. We are here especially because of the huge demand from our followers who want to see us in person.

Matteo Conti, Central Strategic Marketing Director
Amadori
“The main reason why Amadori is participating in RiminiWellness for the second time is the combination with one of the most important events in wellness and, for us, wellbeing at a European level. It allows us to oversee everything related to nutrition. The food trends we are seeing are certainly those of the so-called “better for you” category, i.e. nutrition that promotes wellbeing and allows those who play sports to recharge and replenish themselves, and this is the place to be. At RiminiWellness, we meet a wide variety of people, profiles and target audiences. We were pleased to note that there is undoubtedly a high percentage of over-50s, which is interesting for us. For us, RiminiWellness represents feeling good, and therefore living well, and we cannot fail to be there.”
Cristina Leone, Co-Owner
Leone 1947
“There is a palpable sense of excitement in the air at RiminiWellness, with many people once again attending this event. This is the 30th edition of RiminiWellness. This year, we introduced yet another innovation: for the first time, we broadcast a live tournament, where professional athletes competed in real matches to win a belt. The audience we usually meet at RiminiWellness is mainly our end customers, private individuals who attend both combat gyms and classic gyms. It is always exciting for us to meet them here, they always show us a lot of affection. RiminiWellness is a success for us, there is no denying it, it cannot be otherwise. We have already confirmed our participation for next year, so I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to the next edition, because it will be another success."
Andrea Biasci, Founder

Andrea Chieco, Market Development Manager

“RiminiWellness feature compared to other events is, first and foremost, the fact that it is held in Rimini, a place that is almost naturally fitted to host people interested in wellness, fitness and mental and physical wellbeing.
At RiminiWellness, we meet both our retailers and some of our international distributors, and above all those entrepreneurs and end users who are the recipients of our message and our product.”

Special Guest
Ronnie Coleman
"All the atmosphere here at RiminiWellness. This is one of the greatest appearances that I've done in my last probably 20 years or so. It seems like the longer my career lasts, the more love and the awareness of the sport and awareness of the things that I've done to win eight Mr. Olympia titles, eight world championships boils down to the passion that I've had for this sport. So coming here to this RiminiWellness has been one of the greatest moments of my life, because of the success that I've had over the last 25, 30 years.
Ciao RiminiWellness. I've had the greatest time ever and i look forward to coming again years and years down the road. Yeah buddy!"
Special Guest
Phil Heath
"I'm being asked what are the keys to my success. Hard work. dedication, and overall discipline. The discipline is one of the biggest factors combined with a competitive spirit.So the keys to my success has always been competing with myself every second of the day. Because if I improve from yesterday, today's going to be awesome.
The atmosphere here at RiminiWellness has been tremendously, overwhelmingly positive. Everyone here has been so, like, the word of gratitude comes to mind, the word of hospitality comes to mind, the word of passion comes to mind. Everyone here is always smiling. Everyone here is about wellness. So the atmosphere is just tremendously positive."
