Work(out) Smarter with EGYM
Whatever your wellness goals, reach them with EGYM—a new, personalized, and full-body strength-training experience. Using EGYM is included in your YMCA membership at the branches that are equipped with the EGYM Circuit. Simply schedule an EGYM Orientation with one of our coaches, and you will be ready to go!
How Does EGYM Work?
EGYM is a system of equipment that guides you rep-by-rep through circuit workouts. During your orientation, an EGYM coach will give you your free wristband and walk you through a strength assessment to find your optimal resistance settings. Your coach will also set the machines to your proper range of motion. After this initial session, you are free to use EGYM at your convenience!
With your next visit in to use the EGYM circuit, simply tap your wristband on the marked area and the machines will automatically set your personalized weight level and range of motion! The smart equipment will adapt and progress you through a workout with an interactive screen. All your workouts are logged in an app… no memorizing or guesswork needed!
Why Does EGYM Work?
EGYM was developed using state-of-the-art exercise science. Different fitness goals require different workouts — a weightlifter works out differently than someone who has never done strength training. EGYM adapts the equipment settings based on your goal, progress, and body type.
Other Features of EGYM
- Workout parameters such as training weight, number of repetitions, speed of movement, or length of sessions automatically adjust to individual users.
- Gamification elements, like scoring points on the training curve, also enhance motion control and motivate your members to perform the exercises correctly.
- Strength Measurements: Regular maximum strength measurements automatically calculate the ideal training weight on each machine and continuously adapts the parameters in the line with training achievements – creating stimuli for steady growth and preventing training plateaus.
