BERLIN, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Home fitness has traditionally been a solitary experience. At IFA Berlin 2026 this week, DeerRun is showing how connected equipment and digital experiences can turn individual workouts into shared activity.
Through September 8, visitors can explore the brand's latest home-fitness equipment and try PitPat-powered virtual running, presented under DeerRun's "Home Fitness. The New Standard." platform and its "Move. Compete. Connect." story for IFA.
Compatible DeerRun equipment works with PitPat to connect physical exercise with virtual routes, races, leaderboards and challenges, so users can compare performance and train together from anywhere.
"Most home-fitness equipment is bought with good intentions and abandoned within months," said Tex Yang, General Manager, DeerRun. "With PitPat, your treadmill becomes a stadium — you race friends across the world and actually want to come back tomorrow."
Connected fitness in action
At IFA, visitors can see how movement on compatible DeerRun equipment translates into a shared digital race across the booth's displays. In the pictured 30-minute team relay, "Team World" takes on "Team Berlin," with each side's combined distance tracked live on screen. It shows how fitness technology can add motivation, competition and community without complicating exercise.
Products on display at IFA
DeerRun is showcasing three PitPat-compatible products, each designed for a different space and training goal:
- Sleek Fold SE — a slim walking pad for staying active during the workday
- Flex Rise 1 — a compact folding treadmill for running at home
- Apex Rise 1 — an incline trainer for hill-style climbing workouts
A growing presence in the U.S.
The U.S. is one of DeerRun's core markets. Customers can experience the full product line in person at the DeerRun store at 829 S Mason Rd, Unit 260, Katy, TX 77450, in the Houston area, backed by a local team and after-sales service.
