Through the Technogym digital platform Mywellness cloud, during the Olympics, athletes and wellness enthusiasts will be able to measure their physical exercise \u2013 both on the equipment and thanks to the free Technogym mobile app – and transform it into equipment that Technogym will donate to 22 public gyms in Rio\u2019s most disadvantaged communities. At the Olympic Village athletes will collect MOVEs \u2013 the unit of measurement of the movement defined by Technogym \u2013 by training on the connected Technogym equipment, while everybody will be able to join the campaign by just downloading the Technogym app. The app measures movement performed both on the equipment and outdoor in the daily life.
