Nerio Alessandri was born in Cesena on April 8th, 1961. After education as an industrial designer, in 1983, at just 22 years of age, he founded Technogym, today's world leading company offering products and services for Wellness and rehabilitation.
The first pieces of gym equipment, designed and built in his own garage, are the result of his
enthusiasm for sport, his skills as a designer and his passion for design.
In the early 90's, Alessandri defines the Wellness concept, a lifestyle which aims at improving the quality of life thanks to regular physical activity, a healthy diet and a positive mental attitude. A profoundly Italian concept whose roots are to be found in the ancient Roman saying "mens sana in corpore sano" and which very soon asserts itself on the market as the evolution of the American fitness concept.
