"Now, we want to extend our ‘fitness as entertainment’ concept directly into consumer’s homes.
"Not only will this partnership with Technogym allow us to challenge an existing market with our premium class offerings, it will transport consumers into our revolutionary Victoria studio, empowering RIDE members to take our bold and unapologetic values from their homes.
"With the launch of this new vertical, we believe the valuation of 1Rebel is set to increase significantly."
The tie-up with 1Rebel is part of Technogym's global Live service. Launched in March this year, In addition to 1Rebel classes, Technogym Live will also feature content from other boutique operators – with Virgin Active Revolution in Milan, Italy and Rumble in New York, US already signed up.
