Davos in February is not only a beautiful spot in the Alps — it is also a practical meeting point for professionals working with training environments, facilities, and fitness investments. PAF Europe 2026 takes place in Davos 3–6 February at AlpenGold Hotel, and Gymleco will be there to meet partners and customers on projects that will be executed throughout the year.
For us at Gymleco, Davos is about focused meetings and moving projects forward – from needs to next steps.
Below is our summary of why Davos in February matters if you are building new facilities, upgrading an existing gym, or looking to get more impact from your training space.
1) Davos is built for meetings that move projects forward
PAF Europe is clearly business-focused: short, efficient meetings and concrete discussions.That makes Davos a strong setting if you want to:
- Compare concepts and suppliers
- Discuss project plans, lead times, and installation
- Move from idea to next steps quickly
In Davos, Gymleco meetings tend to focus on what is practical: target users, available space, flow, and the equipment mix that creates the best outcome, without overcomplicating things.
2) Better conversations when everyone is in the same place
When decision-makers, operators, and suppliers are gathered over the same days, it becomes much easier to clarify topics that otherwise take weeks over email:
- Specifications (what do you actually need — and what don’t you need?)
- Operations and lifespan (how do you minimize downtime?)
- Layout and user flow (how do you make the space work for the target audience?)
The Davos format tends to make discussions more hands-on and less theoretical. For Gymleco, that often means moving from “we are considering an upgrade” to “here’s a workable direction and the next step.”
3) Davos 2026: the focus is shifting to total cost of ownership
More and more gym and fitness projects are evaluated holistically: wear and tear, serviceability, uptime, and member experience. Those factors influence both revenue and operating costs over time.
At PAF Europe in Davos, we are happy to discuss how to build a training environment that:
- handles high usage
- is easy to maintain
- holds up over time – in both performance and feel
This is often where Gymleco adds value: selecting solutions that perform in day-to-day operations, not just on paper.
4) A strong early-year kick-off for real projects
Many teams use the start of the year to set the plan: what will be built, what will be upgraded, and what should be prioritized. By concentrating discussions into a few intensive days, you can return home with:
- clear options (one or two realistic setups)
- a timed next step (concept/sketch, quotation, installation)
- a solid internal decision basis
