August 25, 2026. As one of the world's leading technology trade shows, IFA Berlin is setting the stage for new developments in the home fitness industry this year. Merach, a specialist in smart home fitness equipment, will present a selection of its broad portfolio from September 4 to 8, 2026, in Hall 15, Stand 125. Highlights include treadmills, rowing machines, exercise bikes, elliptical trainers, and fitness accessories designed for diverse user groups, training goals, and living spaces.
Alongside selected items from its current lineup, the IFA showcase highlights three next-generation products that offer a glimpse into how Merach is advancing home fitness technology. These new products will make their public debut on September 4 during an exclusive Media Session.
Home Fitness for Diverse Needs
The Merach portfolio ranges from space-saving solutions for compact homes to high-performance machines for intensive training, including an air-resistance series for near-professional-grade workouts. Merach caters to a wide spectrum of user needs and living situations—from quick everyday fitness routines to ambitious home gym setups.
The three next-generation additions expand this lineup with fresh home workout solutions. Throughout the trade show week, visitors can experience and test all exhibited products firsthand at the Merach booth.
Technology Debut: Joint Protection Reimagined
A key highlight of the IFA appearance is a proprietary joint-protection technology integrated into Merach's new cardio equipment. Specifically engineered to target knee strain and impact forces generated during workouts, it addresses a core challenge of regular home training.
Full technical details and the equipped models will be unveiled on September 4 during the exclusive Media Session.
Technology as the Foundation for Long-Term Training
Behind Merach's product developments is a continuous investment in R&D. Over 20 percent of company personnel are dedicated to research and development, focusing on AI motion algorithms, intelligent electronic control systems, and sports science.
For Merach Founder and CEO Robert Luo, the goal extends beyond simply releasing new products; it is about enhancing the long-term value of home fitness.
"Being affordable is a tactic, but maintaining a long-term training routine is a strategy. Our mission is to make the benefits of home fitness accessible to more people. If a product leads to injury after six months or ends up sitting unused in a corner, it completely contradicts that mission." — Robert Luo, Founder and CEO, Merach
This strategy stems from the conviction that technology adds true value when it helps people train consistently over the long term. The development of AI algorithms, smart electronic controls, and sports science applications is handled almost entirely in-house at Merach.
Media Session on September 4: Exclusive Premiere for Press
On September 4, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Merach invites media representatives to an exclusive Media Session at Hall 15, Stand 125. During this event, the three new products will be publicly unveiled, explained in detail, and made available for hands-on testing.
Accredited press members will receive a complete press kit on-site, including high-resolution imagery and product documentation. Afterwards, finger food and an open Q&A session will offer opportunities for networking and personal discussions with the Merach team.
If you would like to attend our launch event or stop by our IFA booth for a personal discussion, you can register here.
