Interactive Fitness

What Interactive Fitness does

Interactive Fitness, doing business as Expresso Bikes, designs and manufactures interactive stationary cycling equipment centered on a proprietary combination of a 26.5-inch HD touchscreen, physically responsive turning handlebars, and a magnetic resistance drive that simulates terrain in real time. The platform layers a software ecosystem of 300+ miles of virtual roads for live racing, HIIT gaming environments, group rides supporting up to 32 simultaneous riders, and a global league system with 80+ active communities across fitness chains, YMCAs, colleges, and corporations. The company targets four primary segments: health clubs and fitness chains (Anytime Fitness, Gold's Gym, Retro Fitness, Workout Anytime), corporate wellness programs (Verizon, Mayo Clinic, Federated Insurance, Collins Aerospace, Subaru of America), YMCA and nonprofit fitness organizations, and home fitness consumers via white-glove delivery. Revenue is generated through quote-based hardware sales of the Expresso GO Upright and Recumbent models, recurring subscription/membership fees for access to digital content, and enterprise corporate wellness licensing, with integrations into MyFitnessPal, Strava, Go365, and ActivTrax reward platforms. In April 2022, Blue Goji acquired the assets of Interactive Fitness, positioning Expresso alongside the Infinity treadmill and GojiPlay/GojiCare services within an expanding connected fitness portfolio.
