An Industry Leading Supplier 

Power Systems is a leading supplier of fitness and sports performance training equipment. We offer a large selection of innovative products, first-class training solutions, and superior customer service.
Through printed catalogs, the Internet, and industry trade shows, Power Systems markets more than 2,000 products to our customers who range from professional sports teams and health clubs to schools and fitness or sports specialists. 

Our Purpose
To advance health, fitness, and physical performance for everyone. 

Our Brand Promise
We are customer-obsessed. Satisfaction is guaranteed—no exceptions!

Company History 

Power Systems was founded in 1986 by Bruno and Julie Pauletto. As a nationally recognized strength and conditioning coach and former world-class athlete, Bruno produced several training videos, which he and Julie marketed to coaches. The success of the videos led Bruno and Julie to add other sports performance training equipment to their product line, and after seven years of remarkable growth, the home-based business became a full-time venture for both Paulettos. Bruno left his position as head strength and conditioning coach at the University of Tennessee to help Julie, who had been managing the company's ever-expanding daily operations on her own. 

With both Paulettos focused on the business, the company's momentum continued and Power Systems became a one-stop shop for coaches, trainers, and others needing quality sports performance and fitness equipment. Using printed catalogs, the Internet, and trade shows, Power Systems expanded its customer base while emerging as an industry leader. 

In November 2007, due to its continued growth, Knoxville-based Power Systems moved its headquarters to a new 250,000 square-foot facility. The new offices and warehouses will provide Power Systems with the space needed to support its growth in the coming years.

Zoom Media & Marketing, with the largest network of indoor billboards in North America, works with fitness faculties to place billboard advertisements from national advertisers into their facilities. The billboard signage consists of high definition digital screens, two foot by three foot backlit boards in the aerobic and workout areas, and sixteen inch by twenty inch frames in the locker rooms. 

Gym owners profit from this program in two ways. First, they use Zoom's digital screens in their club to improve retention and drive incremental revenue by promoting programs like personal training, group exercise, and membership driving promotions. Second, Zoom shares a portion of the advertising revenue with the facility delivering more dollars to their bottom line. In addition to the advertising programs, Zoom brings membership enhancing promotions to gym owners such as free product samples for members, contests and sweepstakes, and other sponsorship programs.
