A UNIQUE SPACE FOR FITNESS AND WELLNESS, COMBINING FUN AND BUSINESS
With 190,000m2 of exhibit space, 30 halls, and 6 themed areas, RiminiWellness is much more than just a show: it is the vibrant heart of wellness and fitness on an international scale. The soul of the event is the ACTIVE area, a hub of energy and innovation where the latest fitness trends come to life. Participants can experience these trends firsthand through practical, dynamic, and engaging activities. Great anticipation all round for the return of the Italian Showdown, an unmissable event for CrossFit® enthusiasts, celebrating its tenth year with competitions open to all skill levels. The programme is made even more intense by the third Italian edition of HYROX, a global challenge that will test participants over three days with an explosive mix of running, functional exercises, and strength tests. The FITNESS area serves as the stage for the industry’s leading companies, ready to showcase their top equipment, technical clothing, and the most advanced digital technologies. The expanded and elevated HEALTH area highlights sports medicine, rehabilitation technologies, nutraceuticals, and a rich educational programme, all thanks to the collaboration with prestigious Italian universities. In the WELLNESS area, you can embark on a true experiential journey through holistic disciplines, meditative practices, and services designed for personal well-being. The FOODWELL area is a must-see this year, showcasing excellence in functional nutrition with a focus on innovative products and educational opportunities alongside prominent Italian and international brands. Last but not least, over 13,000m2 will be dedicated to the STEEL universe, a space for strength disciplines, featuring spectacular events with the participation of world-renowned athletes.
