IoGYM 是一顆永不停轉的引擎，團隊內的成員們除了專精於重訓健身、飲食科學，在各自專長的領域也都擁有取之不竭的能量。

Ethan說道：「藉由作為曲軸的 IoT，以及作為活塞的 AI，這顆引擎驅動產生各種創新服務，賦予運動更迷人的魅力。」在這顆引擎和諧的運作下， IoGYM 在訓練和紀錄兩種需求的交界處誕生，以 IoT 的概念快速升級現有的健身房及器材，為健身者紀錄每次的訓練。

IoGYM functions as an ever-running engine with the team members not only specialize in weight training and nutrition science, but also possess a very energetic characteristic in their respective fields of expertise. Ethan, CEO of IoGYM said, "By using IoT as the crankshaft and AI as the piston, this engine drives various innovative services, making sports more fascinating."

With the engine operating smoothly, IoGYM was born at the intersection of two demands: training and recording. Applying the concept of IoT, IoGYM quickly upgrades existing gyms and equipment, quantifying each workout session for fitness enthusiasts.

About Founder

Ethan, Founder & CEO of IoGYM

《Why not》

面對困難或挑戰的時候，Why not 是第一時間會浮現在 Ethan 腦中的聲音。

市場上未被解決的需求是誕生的必要條件，但在面對敞開的機會下，需要的是有人勇敢地站出來的，為問題找到最佳解，而正是 Ethan 秉持的 Why not，種下了 IoGYM 的第一顆種子，在引擎永不停轉的努力下，IoGYM 才得以逐漸茁壯。

When faced with difficulties or challenges, "Why not" is the voice that first comes to Ethan's mind. The unmet demand in the market is a necessary condition for the birth of a new idea, but when facing open opportunities, it takes someone to bravely step forward to find the best solution to the problem. It is Ethan's belief in "Why not" that planted the first seed of IoGYM. With the engine's tireless effort, IoGYM has gradually grown stronger.
