The fitness industry in China has been growing for over two decades and is now entering a stage of development and maturity. With rapid progress, China is catching up with global leaders in the fitness sector, and the market potential is immense. However, for many years, there was a lack of a large-scale, professional exhibition focused on fitness equipment and related industries. In March 2014, the first edition of the International Wellness & Fitness Exhibition (IWF) was launched, organized by the China Association of Culture, Education and Sporting Goods, the Health Care Massage Club of the China Medical Insurance Association, the Beijing Fitness Equipment Circulation Association, and Dana Exhibition Group. This event covered an impressive 25,000 square meters and featured top-tier products, setting a new standard for the industry and generating significant interest.
In 2015, the China (Shanghai) Fitness, Leisure and Wellness Expo (IWFSHANGHAI 2015) returned to the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center from March 25 to 27. This time, the exhibition expanded to 30,000 square meters, attracting nearly 300 fitness companies and brands from around the world. Alongside the exhibition, the 2015 IWF Shanghai International Fitness Conference and the IWF International Yoga and Pilates Conference were also held, drawing over 20,000 professionals from across the industry.
IWFSHANGHAI aims to serve as a dual platform for trade cooperation and industry trend-setting. Lin Xiaochong, Chairman of the China Association for Culture, Education and Sporting Goods, emphasized that with the shift in the global economic structure, the fitness industry has evolved significantly. China’s vast market has attracted international attention, and hosting the IWF in Shanghai—known for its strategic location and strong economy—aligns with both market demand and corporate aspirations.
The exhibition showcases leading domestic and international fitness equipment, top-tier training programs, and innovative health concepts. It provides a space for business negotiations, information exchange, and the promotion of healthier lifestyles. As of the deadline, numerous well-known brands such as BH, O Reiter, Kangle, Ironman, Aolilon, and many others have confirmed their participation. Over 20,000 visitors are expected to attend, making it a major event in the fitness calendar.
In addition to the exhibition, IWFSHANGHAI 2015 features a series of topic summits and forums addressing key industry issues. These include discussions on the future of the Chinese fitness industry, investment opportunities, and industry trends. Experts from the State Sports General Administration, foreign industry leaders, and renowned economists will participate, offering valuable insights and fostering deeper industry engagement.
For fitness enthusiasts, the event also includes the 2015 IWF Shanghai International Fitness Conference and the 2015 IWF Yoga and Pilates Conference. These events feature over 100 top trainers and more than 200 professional courses, targeting gym owners, yoga instructors, personal trainers, and fitness enthusiasts. Attendees can gain knowledge on everything from fitness training to nutrition, sports rehabilitation, and marketing strategies.
Chen Xiqiang, President of DWF Exhibition Group, stated that the goal of the event is to bring international trends to China. By featuring top-level instructors and exciting performances, the conference aims to inspire fitness professionals and promote healthy, scientific lifestyles. The event promises to be a vibrant celebration of fitness and wellness.
