A World First Chromatherapy Experience
The Chroma room is the studio's newest space and introduces a completely unique approach to fitness. The room was developed using colour therapy, where colours are carefully selected to guide members through different energy fields and workouts that align with the frequencies of each colour.
“Each colour has its own vibration,” explains Sarah. “For example, red has a very low deep vibration. This is felt in the lower body and is reflected in our class.” By combining strength training with the Technogym Bench and heavier weights, along with the Skillrun’s sled training mode, this workout builds power and endurance. All set to bass heavy beats for maximum energy.
Yellow brings optimism and faster paced movements, focusing on upper body core workouts. The fastest frequency, blue, reflects harmony and balance offering full body workouts that engage mobility and a variety of muscle groups.
Technogym’s cutting-edge equipment brings the Chroma room to life, ensuring the experience is not just visually immersive but also performance driven. “Technogym's technology was far beyond what other fitness equipment offered on the market," Sarah says, explaining why she chose the brand to power the studio’s newest classes.
Skillrun Treadmills
One key piece of equipment that sets Sala’s Chroma room apart is the Technogym Skillrun treadmill. With 16 Skillruns and 20 Technogym Benches, this high performance setup allows members to experience a dynamic and immersive workout.
Chosen after extensive research and testing, the Skillrun treadmill delivers an incredibly intuitive and smooth experience. Its innovative belt system and Multidrive Technology combine running, parachute and sled modes making it the ultimate performance treadmill, blending cardio and power training into one solution.
“They felt very intuitive, and fit into the whole story of our studio,” Sarah shares. Explaining that she wanted to create an environment that’s both welcoming and effective, particularly for those new to fitness or those seeking a supportive, non-intimidating workout. The advanced console enables rapid speed and incline adjustments, ensuring seamless transitions between movements.
Technogym Bench
Another standout in the studio’s design is the Technogym Bench. Sarah’s decision to incorporate the bench was driven by a desire to make strength training more accessible and less intimidating for everyone. “For someone who’s new or less confident, using custom benches can be intimidating,” she says. “The Technogym Bench provides everything you need right there with weights and bands all within your reach, allowing for a sense of autonomy and confidence.” With a range of weights conveniently stored beneath the bench, members are empowered to take control of their workouts with no need to navigate through a crowded space.
The Integration of Technogym Technology
Sala’s seamless integration of technology through the Technogym Ecosystem enhances both the experience for members and the work environment for instructors. “I was very conscious of making sure the technology didn’t overwhelm our instructors,” Sarah notes. “The goal was to create a system where they could easily set up classes and focus on the magic moments with members.”
The MyWellness Kiosk streamlines class formatting, programming and music into one solution, allowing instructors to focus on leading impactful sessions. For members, the Technogym Ecosystem keeps them engaged and motivated throughout their workout while easily being able to track their results.
The advanced console and 19 inch screen on the Skillrun treadmill enables instant speed, mode adjustments and automatically sets gradients throughout the workout. As well as programmed studio screens to mirror each step in the session, ensuring no one gets left behind. “As a teacher, I found that when I lost track of the cues, it affected my focus,” Sarah shares. “The screens help keep members aligned with the class, ensuring they stay connected to their own bodies and to the rhythm of the workout.”
By combining fitness, colour therapy and advanced technology, this New Zealand studio is more than just a place to work out, it’s a sanctuary where members can explore their full potential to grow and transform.
“It’s all about creating a space where people feel empowered,” says Sarah. “We wanted to create an environment where technology complements the holistic experience, allowing everyone to be the best version of themselves, both inside and outside the studio.”
