  • “One of the highlights of the year, because you can see everything in the industry. All device manufacturers are naturally here as well as speakers and networking meetings. Body is Life is a fantastic event, where you can meet people from the branch and well-known studio operators. I gladly return to FIBO every year,” – Günther Kreidenweies Workout Fitness-& Gesundheitspark;
  • “It’s a mandatory deadline to attend as it’s always important to see how the sector develops and what’s new and available. Of course, we attend to see again the partners we’re already working with in order to discuss new development. So yeah, it’s important to visit. As a highlight I can say there’s a lot of nutritional advice from plant-based brands,” – Julia Esser FITPARK, Bad Oeynhausen;
  • “FIBO is a must for every manufacturer in the sector. We’re here on our eight year to learn all the latest news. Last year we met so many new people. You learn about where the pulse of the fitness industry lies,” – Sebastian Stub Top Sports, Reutlingen

FIBO scores high each year in terms of its visitor numbers. Last edition saw the participation of more than 145,000 international visitors coming from all over Europe with an emphasis on those countries closest to German including Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands and France. The fitness exhibition attracts both trade and private visitors.

Professionals in attendance include personal trainers, gym owners, physiotherapists, nutritionists, digitalisation experts, hotel and spa managers and professionals, health specialists and experts. Private visitors keep a rather diverse background as there are office professionals, managers, students, housewives and athletes. This gives exhibitors the perfect balance between growing their business on a B2B level, but also then connect with the end consumer and gain valuable customer insights.
