From 26–29 October 2025, the global sports and leisure community came together in Cologne for FSB, the world’s leading trade fair for public spaces, sports, and leisure facilities.
With more than 30,000 attendees, this year’s exhibition was a vibrant showcase of innovation, creativity, and sustainable progress – all driving the future of the fitness and wellness industry.
Taking center stage was an impressive display of children’s play equipment for both indoor and outdoor environments. Expansive stands featured immersive playground builds designed to inspire the next generation to move, play, and spend more time outdoors. A testament to the industry’s growing commitment to active lifestyles from an early age.
In the spa and wellness sector, hot and cold therapy dominated conversations. From advanced sauna structures, portable hydropools, and innovative ice recovery systems, brands demonstrated how thermal experiences can be seamlessly integrated into facilities around the world.
Sustainability was also a clear theme across flooring and padel court solutions. Leading manufacturers unveiled products made entirely from recycled materials, setting new benchmarks for eco-conscious design. Among the highlights, Kraiburg Relastec introduced two notable launches for 2026: a wooden flooring line crafted for wellness and fitness environments, and a custom-print flooring solution ideal for facilities looking to create a distinct brand identity.
In outdoor fitness, European brands showcased cutting-edge, durable equipment built for all climates.
A standout moment came from Street Barbell, which revealed its first Ecoline collection, produced entirely from recycled plastic and stainless steel, backed by a lifetime warranty. With no welding, rust, or maintenance required, it’s a game-changing step towards longevity and environmental responsibility.
At Profit Sports Solutions, we continue to explore and integrate these sustainable innovations into our projects across the USA, GCC, and Africa. As the fitness industry evolves, our focus remains on delivering smarter, greener, and more inspiring spaces that empower communities to move better, and more sustainably, than ever before.
