With customers in more than 100 countries, YR Fitness views the Dubai exhibition as a key opportunity to connect with international distributors, highlight its commitment to independent design, and strengthen its position as a trusted supplier in the global fitness industry.
Showcasing Strength at Dubai Muscle Show 2025
YR Fitness is proud to announce that we will be exhibiting at the Dubai Muscle Show 2025, the premier fitness industry event in the Middle East. This show is a global stage where gym owners, trainers, and distributors gather to experience the latest innovations in fitness equipment. For us, it’s an opportunity to showcase our newest strength training solutions, connect with international partners, and continue building our reputation worldwide.
Looking ahead, YR Fitness is already preparing for an exciting schedule of global exhibitions in 2026, including HFA USA, FIBO, and the China Sport Show. Each event is a chance for us to demonstrate why YR Fitness is recognized as one of China’s top commercial gym equipment manufacturers, trusted by fitness professionals in over 100 countries for consistent quality.
Who We Are
Founded in 1997 with roots dating back to 1991, YR Fitness has nearly three decades of experience in designing and producing professional-grade gym equipment. From repairing national team machines in our early years to becoming a global supplier for the U.S. Army, the Chinese Olympic Team, and major fitness chains such as Lefit (China) and Power World Fitness Centres (Sri Lanka), our story is one of steady growth and innovation.
Headquartered in Anhui with factories in Fuyang, an R&D center in Beijing, and a sales hub in Shanghai, we combine manufacturing scale with design leadership. Today, YR Fitness is one of China’s largest and leading commercial gym equipment manufacturers, supplying products trusted by gyms, training centers, and institutions worldwide.
Innovation in Strength Equipment
At YR, we specialize in strength equipment and independent design. Unlike many manufacturers who simply copy existing models, we create equipment from scratch. Our philosophy is simple but powerful: “Design is how it works. Simple but Significant.”
Over the years, we have secured 200+ patents and developed multiple landmark series that changed the industry:
- 73 Tough Series (2008): The world’s first pin-loaded machines with converging and diverging movement paths, setting a new benchmark for natural biomechanics.
- 61A Racing Series (2016): Compact, efficient, and incredibly durable—some units have been in commercial operation for more than 20 years.
- C4 Revival Series (2025): Our latest innovation, combining modern aesthetics with unmatched adjustability, advanced features like rotating grips and isolation attachments, and an ever-expanding lineup.
This commitment is why YR Fitness is recognized as one of the best strength equipment suppliers in China, especially in plate-loaded and pin-loaded gym machines.
100% Original Design & Founder’s Vision
At the heart of YR Fitness is a commitment to 100% original design. Since our founding, we have never relied on imitation; instead, we build every piece of equipment from the ground up. Our philosophy—”Design is how it works. Simple, but Significant”—guides every product we create. From the world’s first pin-loaded machines with converging and diverging paths in the 73 Series, to the modern adjustability and aesthetics of the C4 Revival Series, YR has continually pushed the boundaries of functionality, ergonomics, and durability. This dedication has earned us more than 200 patents and recognition as one of the few Chinese fitness equipment manufacturers capable of competing with leading international brands.
Behind this philosophy is our founder and chief designer, George Yang. With roots dating back to 1991, when he first repaired equipment for national sports teams, George has always believed that fitness equipment should empower athletes through both performance and design. His leadership combines technical precision with artistic vision, supported by a design team trained at world-class institutions such as the Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins. Together, they bring a unique blend of engineering, biomechanics, and creativity that defines every YR product. George’s lifelong mission—to create equipment that not only lasts but inspires—continues to shape YR Fitness as a pioneer in the global fitness industry.
For George, innovation is never optional—it is the foundation of lasting success. That’s why he pushes YR to keep reinventing, ensuring our products remain at the cutting edge of design and performance. As George often says: “We make products with heart. We make products with standard.”
OEM, ODM, and Customization
One of the key advantages of YR Fitness is our ability to help brands stand out through OEM and ODM solutions.
One of YR Fitness’s greatest strengths lies in our ability to bring brands to life through OEM services. When clients come to us with their own design concepts, logos, or specifications, our factory turns these visions into reality. Every detail—from the choice of steel tubing and upholstery to the final assembly and finish—is executed according to the client’s requirements while maintaining our strict commercial standards. This means gyms and distributors can launch their own equipment lines without building a factory from scratch, while still ensuring the machines meet international certifications and performance benchmarks. By offering OEM at scale, YR helps partners reduce costs, accelerate market entry, and maintain complete control over their branding.
For ODM (Original Design Manufacturing), YR offers a fast-start private-label route built on our existing equipment models—so you get high-quality machines that reflect your brand without starting from scratch. Choose the models you want and customize them end-to-end: add your logo (send a PSD or AI file and our consultant will recommend the right logo technology for each material/surface), customize your color using our color board (note: some color options are fixed—contact us for details), request functional personalization (e.g., adjust specific parts, create multi-grip handles, or add adjustability to fixed parts), and pick your packaging (we can meet the requirements for most common packaging styles or advise if you need suggestions). This ODM path delivers a branded, cohesive lineup—quick, practical, and consistent across your whole range.
Beyond OEM/ODM, YR offers extensive customization options:
- Colors: Choose from a wide color board for both frames and upholstery to match your branding.
- Logos: Add your logo anywhere on the equipment; just send us a PSD or AI file and our team will handle the rest.
- Materials & Accessories: Select different materials, grips, and attachments to personalize your machines.
This level of flexibility ensures that whether you’re outfitting a boutique studio or a large-scale fitness chain, YR can tailor the equipment to your identity.
Quality That Defines Standards
YR Fitness is recognized as one of top fitness equipment supplier in China, delivering quality that competes directly with international premium brands. In an industry where some manufacturers cut corners, YR Fitness sets the bar for quality.
While many brands use 1.8–2.5 mm tubing, we insist on Q235 steel with a 3.0 mm wall thickness, which is 2–3 times stronger and compliant with ASTM F1250 standards. This thickness refers to the raw material itself—not the coated measurement that some suppliers use to mislead buyers.
Every detail of our machines is built for durability, safety, and aesthetics:
- Lifetime warranty on main frames, far exceeding the typical 10-year industry standard.
- German robotic laser cutting and welding for flawless construction.
- Hidden screw nuts for a smooth, safe, and modern finish.
- Industrial-grade sealed bearings, tested for over 30 years of performance with zero complaints.
- Steel cables tested at 300 kg for 24 hours nonstop—over 28,800 pulls without breaking.
- Electrostatic powder coating and stainless/aluminum parts proven to resist sweat corrosion.
- High-density foam (57–67 kg/m³) and premium PVC upholstery: sweat-proof, crack-resistant, and built to last.
This attention to detail is why gym owners from Malaysia to the U.S. praise our equipment as “very high quality, solid and durable, reasonably priced, and extremely satisfying.”
Certified and Globally Compliant
YR Fitness is committed to meeting the highest international quality and safety benchmarks. Our equipment carries multiple globally recognized certifications, including CE, TÜV, and ISO (specifically ISO 20957 standards), ensuring each product—from multi-stations to treadmills—complies with rigorous safety and performance requirements.
We also maintain internationally recognized intellectual property protections, including patents and trademarks registered with bodies such as EUIPO, UK Trademark Office, USPTO (USA), and India IP Office—evidence of our leadership in original product design.
This portfolio of certifications and IP safeguards not only testifies to the safety and quality of YR equipment but also reinforces YR Fitness’s position as a leading Chinese manufacturer of commercial gym equipment, competing with global fitness brands.. When you partner with YR, you gain access to gym equipment you can trust—not only today, but for years to come.
Full Product Portfolio
YR offers a complete range of commercial fitness solutions. Our strength equipment is built to combine smooth biomechanics, long-lasting durability, and flexible customization—qualities that make it a strong alternative to international brands.

Lundbeck showcases new clinical migraine data, including long-term preventive effectiveness of Vyepti® (eptinezumab) in patients severely impacted by migraine
- Lundbeck demonstrates leadership and unwavering commitment to advancing migraine management and supporting patient outcomes with six presentations at the 2025 International Headache Congress (IHC), including three oral presentations on eptinezumab (Vypeti®) and Lu AG09222 (anti-PACAP mAb)
- New data from the open-label extension of the RESOLUTION trial and the primary results of the SUNSET extension trial will be presented for the first time at IHC1,2
- Patients treated with eptinezumab experienced sustained reductions in migraine symptom and burden, including long-term reduction in monthly migraine days (MMDs) and improvements in patient-reported outcomes1,2
VALBY, Denmark, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — H. Lundbeck A/S (Lundbeck) is advancing leadership in migraine with a comprehensive collection of datasets to be presented at the 2025 International Headache Congress, taking place in São Paulo (Sept 10-13).1-6 Among data presented, Lundbeck will announce the full results of the 12-week, open-label extension of the RESOLUTION trial investigating eptinezumab for the prevention of migraine in patients with chronic migraine and associated medication overuse headache (MOH) who also received standardized patient education.1 In addition, new data from the SUNSET open-label extension trial in Japanese patients with chronic migraine will be shared with the scientific community for the first time.2
“Migraine is a chronic, disabling disease that disrupts lives and demands a comprehensive, long-term management approach,” said Johan Luthman, EVP, and Head of Research & Development at Lundbeck. “Patients deserve preventive treatments that not only deliver early relief but sustain their impact over time. The RESOLUTION and SUNSET trials show that patients who experience an early, clinically significant response with eptinezumab continue to maintain this response long-term. This offers renewed hope for those severely impacted by the burden of migraine.”
In the phase 4 RESOLUTION trial,7 the early, clinically meaningful improvements in migraine symptom and burden observed during the initial placebo-controlled period were sustained during the open-label extension period. Around 50% of patients achieved a ≥50% reduction from baseline in monthly migraine days (MMDs) and achieved approximately nine days fewer MMDs at the end of the 12 week OLE, compared to baseline at the start of the RESOLUTION trial (baseline was 20.9 MMDs).1
Additionally, the primary results of the SUNSET trial will be presented at IHC. SUNSET was a 60-week open-label extension of the Asian registrational SUNRISE trial, designed to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of eptinezumab in a Japanese population with chronic migraine.2
In the trial the symptom reduction observed within the first 12 weeks of treatment with eptinezumab (SUNRISE trial) was maintained across the open-label period.2 The proportion of participants with a ≥50% or ≥75% MMD reduction from baseline was sustained throughout the trial, with 35.7% of patients achieving a 50% reduction in MMD by week 49-60. A trend towards increasing ≥75% response rate was also observed across the 60-weeks extension period.2
Eptinezumab was well tolerated across both trials,1,2 similar to previous trials in migraine prevention and to the current labelled safety information in the United States prescribing information and the EU Summary of Product Characteristics.
These data collectively underscore the long-term effectiveness, tolerability, and safety of eptinezumab in addressing the needs of patients severely impacted by migraine, and underscores Lundbeck’s commitment to lifting the burden of migraine for patients globally.

About migraine and medication-overuse headache (MOH)
Migraine is a complex and incapacitating neurological disease characterized by recurrent episodes of severe headaches typically accompanied by an array of symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound.8
Migraine is the second leading cause of years lived with disability (YLD) among all diseases, and it is the top YLD cause among patients aged 15 to 49 years, according to the Global Burden of Disease study.9 As the most prevalent neurological disorder in people aged <50 years, migraine imposes both a social and financial burden. In Europe, migraine alone affects close to 50 million people costing the economy EUR 18 billion annually according to the Cost of Brain Disorders in Europe10 study and this is without the indirect cost associated with presenteeism (i.e. productivity losses due to reduced efficiency of persons who are not sufficiently ill to be absent from work).
Repeated migraine attacks, and often the constant fear of the next one, damage family life, social life, and work life. Furthermore, increased use of acute headache medications may lead to central sensitization and decreased effectiveness of the acute headache medication, resulting in a cycle of increased number of headache days requiring even further increased amounts of acute headache medication. Without proper migraine management, this process results in worsening migraine and may lead to the development of chronic migraine and MOH.11 The secondary headache of MOH is a common complication among individuals with primary headache disorders like chronic migraine.
About the RESOLUTION trial
RESOLUTION was a phase 4, randomized, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of eptinezumab versus placebo in patients with chronic migraine and associated medication-overuse headache (MOH) who also received standardized patient education.7 RESOLUTION included a 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled period followed by a 12-week open-label extension. The participants in the RESOLUTION trial were mainly from European countries.
RESOLUTION is the first randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of an anti-CGRP treatment in combination with structured patient education in chronic migraine and MOH. The trial enrolled 608 participants with dual diagnoses of chronic migraine and MOH, and participants were randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups, brief educational intervention (BEI) and eptinezumab (100 mg; n = 305) or BEI and placebo (n = 303), in a 1:1 ratio. BEI involves a short screening followed by individual feedback on how and why acute migraine medication use should be reduced, and this approach to patient education has been shown to result in long-term medication reductions for patients with MOH.
At the end of Week 12, 584 participants continued in the 12-week, open-label extension, where all participants received eptinezumab 100 mg. Clinical efficacy endpoints included change from baseline in MMDs, ≥50% and ≥75% responder rate and change from baseline in monthly days with acute medication use. Key secondary endpoints included reductions in headache-related burden, migraine-related disability, work productivity loss, activity impairment, and the safety and tolerability of eptinezumab in this patient population.
About the SUNSET trial
The SUNSET trial (NCT05064371) was an extension of the phase 3, multiregional, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled SUNRISE trial (NCT04921384) conducted in adults (18–75 years) diagnosed with chronic migraine.2 159 Japanese participants who completed SUNRISE were enrolled and treated in SUNSET after completing 12-week, randomized, double-blind treatment with IV eptinezumab 100 mg, 300 mg, or placebo. SUNSET comprised a 60-week open-label treatment period (during which participants received IV eptinezumab every 12 weeks [5 doses total] and completed a daily electronic diary) and an 8-week safety follow-up period. All participants received eptinezumab 100 mg at baseline in SUNSET, participants who did not achieve ≥50% reduction from SUNRISE baseline in monthly migraine days (MMDs; SUNSET Weeks 1–12) had their dose increased to 300 mg at SUNSET Week 12 and onward.
The primary endpoints investigated long-term safety and tolerability, including treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Secondary endpoints included change from baseline in the number of MMDs, ≥50% and ≥75% migraine responder rates (MRRs), and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) score. Exploratory endpoints included change from baseline in the Migraine-specific Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI:M) questionnaire domain scores.
About Vyepti® (eptinezumab)
Eptinezumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) which was intentionally designed for IV administration. The efficacy and safety of eptinezumab was evaluated in two phase III clinical trials (PROMISE-1 in episodic migraine12 and PROMISE-2 in chronic migraine13), where eptinezumab met its primary endpoint of decrease in MMDs over weeks 1-12 in both episodic and chronic migraine. Furthermore, the clinical trial program demonstrated a treatment benefit over placebo that was observed for both doses of eptinezumab as early as Day 1 post-infusion. The safety of eptinezumab was evaluated in more than 2,000 adult patients with migraine who received at least one dose of eptinezumab. The most common adverse reactions (≥2% and at least 2% or greater than placebo) in the clinical trials for the preventive treatment of migraine were nasopharyngitis and hypersensitivity. In PROMISE-1 and PROMISE-2, 1.9% of patients treated with eptinezumab discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions.
VYEPTI (eptinezumab-jjmr) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults in February 2020, and in January 2022, eptinezumab was granted marketing authorization by the European Commission (EC) for the prophylaxis of migraine in adults who have at least four migraine days per month. Today, eptinezumab is launched in more than 30 markets worldwide.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DHL Express, the world’s leading international express service provider, and SingPost, Singapore’s leading postal and eCommerce logistics provider in Asia Pacific, today announced a strategic partnership to make international shipping more convenient, accessible, and sustainable for customers across Singapore.

As part of this collaboration, DHL Express will tap on SingPost’s extensive network of post offices to offer its international shipping services to customers at all post offices islandwide, up from 14 outlets in its pilot launch in March 2025. This initiative expands options for walk-in customers, enabling easier access to DHL Express shipping solutions near their home or workplace — tailored to meet the evolving needs of local shippers.
Each shipment includes complimentary participation in DHL Express’ GoGreen Plus (GGP) service, which allows customers to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their international air shipments using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), a drop-in fuel produced from sustainable feedstocks, such as used cooking oil. This is enabled by the ‘book & claim’ approach, which lets DHL directly replace fossil fuels with sustainable fuels within the logistic company’s network and allocate environmental benefits to paying customers, even when their shipments are not physically transported with the assets using these fuels.
Recently, DHL Express committed to purchasing 9.5 million liters of SAF made in Singapore, marking its first SAF purchase for international flights departing from Singapore Changi Airport and one of Asia’s largest SAF deals in the air cargo sector.
In addition to DHL shipping services, customers can opt for more sustainable packaging options at these outlets, including 100% recyclable, FSC-certified DHL brown boxes in multiple sizes to suit varying packaging needs. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an internationally recognized mark that guarantees that the cardboard is sourced from responsibly managed forests worldwide.
Through this partnership, customers can also start dropping off their DHL parcels at all post offices. Since the pilot in March, parcel drop-offs at SingPost outlets have doubled, demonstrating strong customer appreciation for convenient shipping options. DHL Express parcels deposited at SingPost outlets are collected daily without additional charges, ensuring reliability and efficiency. This collaboration underscores DHL and SingPost’s commitment to enhancing customer experience by expanding accessibility. It also signifies the benefits of utilising SingPost’s logistics infrastructure and extensive footprint.
Christopher Ong, Managing Director for DHL Express Singapore, said, “The collaboration with SingPost not only brings DHL Express’ cross-border shipping services in Singapore closer to our customers but also empowers them to participate in our sustainability journey together. To be the leader in emission-reduced logistics operations, we are constantly looking for ways to operate more sustainably while enhancing our customers’ experience. We are thrilled to work with SingPost to bring more value-added services to our customers in Singapore.”
“Our partnership with DHL Express represents a significant strategic collaboration to enhance the utilisation of SingPost’s logistics infrastructure and post office network. Through this alliance, we are able to introduce new and emission-reduced international service options that address evolving customer needs, in line with SingPost’s ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability,” said Neo Su Yin, Group Chief Operating Officer, SingPost.
This partnership also enhances DHL Express’ holistic efforts to improve customer experience by expanding customer touchpoints for both parcel drop-off and pick-up. In Singapore, DHL Express operates four service centres and offers its services at over 160 DHL retail drop-off points and almost 1,500 locker pick-up locations for customers across the island.
