Sophisticated and Warm Booth Design Harmonizing with Interiors

An Array of Wooden Machines with an Overwhelming Presence

At the booth entrance, we will symbolically display WATERROWER's iconic beautiful wooden rowing machines, and NOHRD's beautiful treadmills and bikes. Made from actual solid wood (oak, cherry, walnut, etc.), these machines offer a luxurious finish that gains character with use. All exhibited equipment is available for consultation regarding installation in hotels and various facilities, as well as individual customization.

Functional Beauty Requiring No Power, Looking Towards a Sustainable Future

WATERROWER and NOHRD machines achieve "no power required" through their analog structure, which utilizes water, body weight, or physical weight stacks as resistance. This time, we have created a modern space that combines beautiful wooden reliefs with indirect lighting, exuding warmth amidst its splendor. As an environmentally friendly solution that can be installed anywhere, reducing running costs and CO2 emissions, it is ideal for offices aiming for health management and hotels promoting eco-luxury.

What is "ELASKO" - A New Wellness That is Neither Yoga nor Pilates

ELASKO is a new form of wellness centered on the concept of "releasing emotions and regaining your true self." By connecting movement and breath, it gently harmonizes accumulated emotions within – through a unique approach that is neither yoga nor Pilates, it conditions both mind and body.

ELASKO values not only the method itself. The "space" in which it is experienced is also considered an important element in shaping the experience value. Lighting, scent, music, and temperature are all designed to create a comfortable flow, providing an environment where users can face their true selves in a tranquility reminiscent of nature. It offers a high-quality moment to reset the mind and body, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

New Developments of ELASKO Announced at SPORTEC 2026

At this SPORTEC 2026, we will announce new initiatives to expand the ELASKO experience to more locations, starting from our directly managed studio in Daikanyama, Tokyo.

1 Flagship Studio "Studio ELASKO" (Daikanyama, Tokyo)

As a base that condenses the world of ELASKO, this is the brand's flagship studio offering sessions in a sophisticated space. At this exhibition, we will introduce a part of its worldview and experience at our booth.

2 Program Offerings for Fitness Gyms and Yoga/Pilates Studios (For Corporations)

We will begin offering packages for nationwide fitness gyms, yoga/Pilates studios, and other facilities to introduce ELASKO programs. By leveraging existing equipment and staff, and incorporating ELASKO's unique methods and spatial design know-how, these packages can be used to create new added value and differentiation for facilities.

3 Retreat/Event Programs for Hotels and Other Establishments

We will launch new retreat programs that can be combined with accommodation/stay experiences for luxury hotels and resort facilities, as well as wellness event programs that can be implemented as standalone events. These can be deployed in various spaces such as guest rooms, spas, and banquet halls, and can be utilized as wellness content to enhance the appeal of the facility.

At the booth, we will provide individual guidance on specific content and implementation procedures for facilities and companies considering the introduction of these programs.

[Brand Director's Comment]

"Fitness machines used to be inorganic objects hidden away in the back of gyms. However, we believe they should be at the center of people's lives, such as in living rooms, hotel rooms, or office lounges. The products of WATERROWER | NOHRD, born from the warmth of wood and the minimalist aesthetic of requiring no power, and the ELASKO experience of 'releasing emotions and regaining your true self,' add a sophisticated touch like spices to a space. At this SPORTEC, please experience a different kind of wellness lifestyle, one that is more than just equipment."
