Contrary to other existing gyms sprouting anywhere in Davao City, the Arcadia Active Lifestyle Center boasts of its Technogym equipment.

Arcadia consultant Jimmy Javier, who also owns his own fitness gym, said Arcadia Active Lifestyle Center is using the Technogym equipment. "It is made in Italy and is currently the top of the line equipment," he said in a Facebook interview with SunStar Davao.

The Arcadia formally opened August 3, 2018. But Johann Joaquin H. Casal of E-Sports RK International, Inc., the supplier and exclusive distributor of Technogym, said they have been involved in the project since 2014.

"We helped conceptualize and design the layout of the gym," Casal said, adding that it features a fully equipped state of the art Technogym line-up featuring all of the wellness solutions from Technogym - from cardiovascular, selectorized machines, plate-loaded machines, benches and free weights, a group cycle room, a functional training arena called the Omnia 8 designed for eight or more people to be working out together, and the Skill Line which is for athletic performance training.

Technogym, according to him, is the most premium brand of gym equipment in the market. "It is an award winning brand from Italy where everything is designed and manufactured. Arcadia is one of the biggest Technogym-equipped gyms in the country and it features the complete line of wellness solutions offered by the brand, something that you won't see in other gyms," Casal said.

He also said the cardio machine is called Excite TV Cardiovascular which includes treadmills, crosstrainers, adaptive trainers, bikes, stair climbers, etc.

He added, "Arcadia has the widest range of cardio machines in the market with probably the most treadmill equipped gym as well featuring 10 treadmills as its front liner. The Excite TV Cardio is compatible with cable TV and has a touchscreen monitor where users can watch tv, videos, or listen to their music while exercising."

Casal, however, said the SkillRun is the highlight of the Technogym, exceeding expectations on a treadmill.

"It is the first piece of equipment designed to meet the training requirements of elite athletes and demanding fitness enthusiasts. Arcadia is the first gym in the country to have the SkillRun," he said.

Arcadia has 12 treadmills, 10 Excite Run 1000s and two SkillRuns.
