Our Story
Why has Helix seen its sales triple in one year? Because in an industry driven by innovation, Helix is the company behind some of the biggest advances in a decadeand now, like the live indoor cycling craze, its products are connected, meaning theyre designed for home use but internet-connected for classes, coaching and community. The companys Helix brand trainers, scientifically proven more effective than traditional cardio machines, have been adopted by one of the countrys most elite professional sports franchises and confer distinct advantages for female consumers. Its recently-launched Scoop brand has quickly become the countrys #1 selling lateral trainer for seniors.
Our Ambition
In 2020, the company saw a tripling of sales with a nearly 300% growth year-on-year. 2019 was spent preparing for new product offerings and putting into place the mechanisms for direct consumer sales, allowing online sales in 2020 to increase, particularly when bolstered by the COVID economy. Helixs next step was creating the connected technology that bolsters our trainers, making them "sticky" and naturally integrated into consumers' lives. Now that both the online sales models and the connected technology are in place, the company is poised to introduce its products into APAC and other global markets in the coming year.
