Inside the Future of Fitness: Our Biggest Moments at AusFitness & NoVacancy
Every year, the fitness and hospitality industries wait for the moment where ideas, innovation, and inspiration collide. In 2025, that moment was AusFitness Expo and NoVacancy Expo; two powerhouse events that proved the future of fitness and hospitality is smarter, stronger, and more connected than ever.
From intelligent strength equipment launches to hands-on experiences with cutting-edge gym solutions, here’s a full recap of what went down and why you won’t want to miss the next one.
What Made AusFitness Expo 2025 Unforgettable?
Picture this: over 7,000 fitness professionals, suppliers, and decision-makers packed into the ICC Sydney, all buzzing with energy and ideas. That’s what AusFitness is all about. It’s the southern hemisphere’s biggest fitness trade event, and in 2025, it delivered on every front.
-
Networking on steroids: Gym owners, personal trainers, equipment manufacturers, and health professionals came together under one roof.
-
New product reveals: The spotlight shone on cutting-edge tech, including equipment powered by algorithms that honour science behind every rep, which felt more like training with a coach than just using a machine.
-
Live demos and workshops: Fitness pros got their hands dirty testing out the latest gear and discovering smarter ways to train.
It wasn’t just a trade show; it was a playground for anyone serious about fitness innovation.
What Made NoVacancy Expo 2025 Unforgettable?
While AusFitness was all about sweat and strength, NoVacancy Expo leaned into style, design, and guest experience. Known as Australia’s #1 event for hotel and accommodation professionals, it’s where decision-makers go to reimagine what hospitality can be.
This year, Gym Direct brought the ultimate commercial gym solutions to hoteliers, resort managers, and developers looking to create unforgettable fitness spaces. From compact setups for boutique stays to high-performance gyms for large resorts, the expo was the perfect stage to showcase the value of fitness fitouts in hospitality.
Standout Moments at the Gym Direct Booth
If you stopped by our stand at AusFitness or NoVacancy, you know the Gym Direct booth was more than just a display; it was an experience.
Visitors discovered:
-
Harison’s Omega Intelligent HR-G40 Strength Series
-
Free consultations for gym design and layout
-
PLUS Free goodies, who doesn’t love that!
Our booth was packed with action, but the star of the show had to be Harison’s latest innovation.
Harison Omega Intelligent HR-G40 Strength Series
This wasn’t just another strength machine; it was the future of intelligent training.
Sculpted with a sleek, futuristic design, the HR-G40 combines style and smarts. At its core? An advanced AC servo motor system that ensures pinpoint accuracy and long-term performance. But it doesn’t stop there.
What really wowed attendees were its smart training modes, tailored programs designed to challenge users at any fitness level. The machine’s 15.6” full-colour touchscreen turned data into a personal trainer’s best friend, making arm training more engaging, intuitive, and results-driven.
Put simply, the HR-G40 redefined what it means to train with intelligence.
Hands-On Experience with Commercial Gym Equipment
There’s a big difference between reading about equipment specs online and actually using the machines yourself. At the expos, attendees had the chance to test-drive:
-
Strength training rigs and racks
-
Dual-function with smart tech integrations
-
Free weights and accessories
It wasn’t just about selling equipment; it was about showing how performance, durability, and design come together to create a winning gym environment.
