Skelcore, a rapidly growing fitness brand, is changing how gyms and fitness centers look and operate. The company focuses on making fitness spaces smarter, sleeker, and more sustainable by integrating innovation into every product detail.
In today’s crowded fitness market, success depends not only on performance but also on innovation, personalization, and visual appeal. Skelcore excels in all these areas. Founded in Miami in 2020, Skelcore is the luxury fitness equipment division of Evolution Group USA, a company with over 20 years of experience in health and wellness.
In just a few years, Skelcore has become a leader in high-end fitness equipment. The brand offers a full range of products that are design-forward and customizable. Their lineup includes equipment for strength training, cardio, recovery, and lifestyle fitness.
The name “Skelcore” represents the brand’s focus on protecting the skeleton and building core strength. This idea drives their entire product range. Skelcore’s equipment is built not only for top performance but also to match the identity of the gyms and users. Their products suit commercial gyms, hotels, and residential spaces. The company stands out for sleek design, biomechanically sound engineering, and style that enhances any fitness environment.
A Partner in Elite Gym Branding
Marc Ackermann, CEO and founder, wanted to offer more than just individual pieces of equipment. “Our goal was to provide a complete fitness solution,” Ackermann said. He wanted gyms and facility owners to offer members a stylish and unique experience all under one brand. Today, Skelcore acts as both a product supplier and a design and branding partner for top gym operators worldwide.
Sustainability is also key for Skelcore. Their Elite Series uses aluminum parts to reduce plastic use and increase durability. This approach appeals to eco-conscious operators and meets growing demand for responsible manufacturing. Customization remains important — gym owners can adjust the look and features of their equipment to reflect their brand and member needs.
In only two years, Skelcore has expanded to 50 countries. Leading U.S. gym chains, including Powerhouse Gyms International, have chosen Skelcore products. Ackermann credits this fast growth to a strong desire for innovation and differentiation among gym owners.
Innovative, Space-Saving Equipment
At the upcoming Athletech News Innovation Summit, visitors will see four of Skelcore’s standout products. These demonstrate the company’s focus on design, engineering, and efficient use of space.
The first is the Skelcore Ascentmill, a commercial-grade incline trainer. It combines a treadmill and stair climber, with an incline up to 50% and a decline down to -5%. This allows for VO2 max testing and intense cardio workouts in a small space. Designed for hotels, boutique gyms, and condos, the Ascentmill features a 43” x 20” running surface, ergonomic handrails, and an LED console with multimedia options. It can reach speeds up to 10 mph for high-output cardio.
Next is the Skelcore Foldable Pilates Reformer. This modular piece turns any space into a Pilates studio and folds away when not needed. It comes in aluminum alloy or fine hardwoods like oak and maple. German piano wire springs add performance and elegance. Accessories include a jump board, sitting box, and adjustable ropes, supporting exercises for beginners and advanced users alike.
Strength and Style Combined
Attendees can also explore the Power Series Plate Loaded line. This is a 12-piece collection of strength machines designed for simplicity and biomechanical accuracy. Ackermann notes that more female members are focusing on strength training. These machines create a welcoming environment while providing professional-grade performance.
The series includes popular machines such as Chest Press, Lat Pull Down, Vertical Leg Press, and hip thrusts. Each machine targets specific muscle groups and offers ergonomic handles, precise adjustments, and compact designs.
Finally, Skelcore will introduce luxury walnut weights and plates. These combine craftsmanship with functionality and highlight the brand’s lifestyle approach to fitness.
With its strong focus on design and a complete fitness vision, Skelcore is redefining gym equipment. It is also reshaping what a fitness brand can be. Don’t miss Skelcore’s presence at the Athletech News Innovation Summit.
