As Johnson Health Tech matured, the company evolved from being an equipment and original design manufacturer into a vertically integrated fitness powerhouse that owns all stages of production, distribution, and sales.
As Johnson Health Tech entered into brand ownership and development, the company established wholly owned subsidiaries in 30 countries and a distribution network that spans the globe.
In 1995, Johnson Health Tech acquired the tooling and patents of Trek Fitness, a line of exercise equipment from the Wisconsin-based bicycle behemoth. Renamed Vision Fitness, this venture launched the era of Johnson Health tech brand ownership and development.
In 1998, Johnson Health established Horizon Fitness, aiming to redefine the home exercise experience. With this new offering, exercise enthusiasts of all kinds could find the perfect piece for their unique goals, sure that the equipment fits their body as well as their space and schedule.
