The Gym of the Future: Where Recovery Meets Exercise
The gym industry is about to change. For 2025 and beyond, it is no longer enough to offer traditional strength and cardio training alone — the gyms of the future need a holistic concept that includes recovery for body and mind.
Why is recovery as important as exercise?
Elite athletes have long understood that recovery is a crucial part of training and performance. Now even the broad mass is beginning to realize that proper recovery maximises results, reduces injuries and improves overall well-being. Including methods of recovery in your gym is no longer a luxury -- it's a necessity.
By setting aside a wellness room at the gym with innovative technologies such as:
Red light therapy — Stimulates the energy production of cells, improves recovery and reduces inflammation.
Ice bath — Strengthens the immune system, increases mental acuity and improves blood circulation.
Dry Floating — Simulates deep relaxation, reduces stress and improves sleep.
... you create a competitive advantage and added value pre Dina members.
Lyfe Nordic has already helped a majority of gym owners to strategically integrate world leaders recovery technologies at their gyms, and they are already seeing good results in both increased members and revenue. Members appreciate the opportunity to be able to take care of their mental and physical health in one place.
The most popular technologies for gyms in 2025:
❤️ Red light therapy ---- Red Light Pod (Sweden's best-selling red light bed)
🧊 Ice bath ---- Mana 1.0 (the ultimate cold bath)
🏔 Simulated high-altitude training — Hypoxic training with MITOVIT
❄️ Cryotherapy ---- Powercab (electric cryochamber)
🧘🏼 Dry Floating - Zerobody (floating completely dry)
What do our customers say?
“Incredibly satisfied with the service and professional attitude of the team at Lyfe Nordic. They work closely with their customers and that gives you peace of mind when you have questions or need help. We have invested in a cold bath and a cryochamber and it has been just as good. Definitely recommend working with Alex and Elias!”

How do you package wellness the right way?
Many gyms miss out on the opportunity to maximise revenue by selling single treatments. That makes it harder to build a stable revenue stream and requires more administration. The solution? Create a premium membership where recovery is an integral part of the training experience.
Examples of how a Premium membership can work:
🏆 Exclusive Premium Membership where members get access to the wellness room X times a week via booking.
📅 Automated bookings where members can easily reserve their times via an app/booking page.
🔄 Higher customer loyalty because members get access to something out of the ordinary.
💰 Increased revenues then the premium membership costs more than a regular gym card.
Getting members to upgrade to a premium membership is easier than getting them to spontaneously pay for single treatments. By incorporating recovery into your membership, you make it a natural part of your workout routine -- just like going to the gym.
Take your gym into the future
🔹 Recovery is an important part of training and a strong competitive tool for gyms.
🔹 By creating a wellness room with different wellness technologies, you create added value and attract more new members.
🔹 A premium membership, rather than single treatments, is the smartest way to package recovery and increase revenue.
