If there was a single takeaway from the 42nd China International Sporting Goods Show (May 2025, Nanchang), it was this: fitness equipment is no longer dumb iron. It watches you, corrects you, and adapts.
One of the headline acts came from Sanbaishuo (Three Cypress), whose SHOTLABAI basketball system uses cameras to capture shot trajectory frame-by-frame, scoring release angle, knee bend, and follow-through with 98% recognition accuracy. Next to it, the company's new AI training assistant applies computer-vision and large-model computing to real-time motion correction across general fitness scenarios.
Shuhua's V10+ commercial series now ships with an "AI Fitness Assistant" that generates personalized plans from the user's biometric profile, enabling a human-machine interactive gym model. Maike (Merach) unveiled its MIAAI coach, built on the DeepSeek large model, with a database spanning exercise science, nutrition, and rehab—positioned to serve everyone from beginners to pros.
Home-side innovation was equally aggressive. Yulu Electronics showed a folding treadmill disguised as a full-length mirror—just 12 cm thick when folded, footprint 0.6 m², voice-controlled, slope-adjustable, and smart-home linked (yes, you can dim the lights mid-run). The buzzphrase on the floor: "Cube Health Station"—modular setups that pack cardio, strength, and rehab into one cubic meter, targeting fragmented home workouts.
Good Family Group demonstrated its senior-adapted smart gym: an AI physique tester delivers a 10-second scan (height, weight, body fat, muscle strength), feeding into a 50-level resistance machine simulating 5–100 kg. Already deployed in 600+ communities across 100+ Chinese cities, serving over 100 million visits.
Exhibitors agreed on one thing—2025 is the year "intelligence" stopped being a premium add-on and became the entry ticket.
