Echelon Fitness has significantly expanded its digital fitness capabilities through the acquisition of FORTË, a business-to-business streaming platform serving gyms and boutique studios, which will now operate under the rebranded division ELEVATE by Echelon. This strategic move enhances Echelon's position in the commercial fitness sector by integrating FORTË's automated livestreaming technology with its existing ecosystem of smart equipment and AI-driven workout personalization.
The combined ELEVATE by Echelon platform offers fitness businesses a turnkey solution for delivering branded digital content. Users will be able to leverage FORTË's established infrastructure — which supports over 457,000 users across 39 countries — while incorporating Echelon's proprietary AI tools developed in collaboration with Amazon Web Services.
The acquisition enables seamless integration with major membership management systems. Gym owners and boutique studios gain access to an enterprise-grade streaming platform that simplifies content production and distribution, allowing them to compete in the increasingly digital fitness landscape without significant technical overhead. Fitness influencers and trainers can utilize the rebranded ELEVATE platform to scale their reach through white-label streaming capabilities, as well.
