INTENZA UK SETS NEW STANDARDS IN GYM EQUIPMENT
Whitling and Bertrand have over 50 years of experience between them
TWO FITNESS INDUSTRY EXPERTS HAVE TEAMED UP TO LAUNCH A SLEEK NEW ENERGY-SAVING PRODUCT RANGE IN THE UK
J
ez Whitling, 25 year veteran of the UK fitness industry and former Precor sales director, and Graham Bertrand, of Physique Sports equipment services for 30 years, are
introducing the Intenza range of fitness machines to the UK fitness industry. Intenza is an impressive selection
of eco-friendly cardio equipment manufactured by HealthStream in Taiwan. The brand has been built on producing high quality, energy effi cient equipment in an eco-friendly way, and is already in more than 35 international markets since its launch in 2012. The range is also being distributed by Gym80 in Germany and Exceed Performance in Sweden, part of the Eleiko Group. Bertrand and Whitling met with
Mark Chang, CEO of HealthStream, at the Intenza factory in Taiwan, to fi nd out more about the range and the distribution opportunities. Bertrand says: “As soon as we saw the incredibly
high quality standard of the Intenza range and the impressive manufacturing set-up, we both agreed this opportunity was too good not to look at seriously.” Whitling says: “We were hugely
impressed with the high quality of the cardio ranges and within an hour of walking into the state-of-the-art facility my mind was made up.” He adds: “I’ve seen a number of
fi tness equipment manufacturing plants over the years, but nothing on this scale. It was clean and effi cient, attention to detail was very high and it has almost zero carbon emissions, with most of the energy used to drive the facility coming from rows and rows of solar panels on the roof. The factory actually delivers excess energy back into the grid.”
Smart energy savings The machines themselves combine a sleek aluminium design built on high performing engineering and technology.

Intenza is made in Taiwan to the highest eco build standards
Engineers took 18 months to develop this high level range, which includes treadmills, upright and recumbent bikes and ellipticals in two series. The Intenza Interactive Series (i
Series) commercial cardio line features a simple to use, single dial control – Intenza’s Uni-Dial Navigation Control. All workout programmes and varieties can be accessed by turning the dial and pressing the dial. The Entertainment Series (e Series)
delivers television, movies and music on 15” touchscreen monitors that have been built to last. An internal diagnostics system,
InCare, has been built into the machines which automatically alert Intenza if and when an issue arises with the equipment and what the issue is. The range has been developed with
some clever energy saving devices to help the gym facility save power and money. For instance, when the exercise console is not in use it goes into a power-saving mode, reducing its energy consumption to .4 watts on the treadmills and 0.25 watts on the ellipticals and bikes. The e-series elliptical and bike consoles are activated
