Tailored Programs

EGYM includes eight tailored programs specific to your goals. Tailored programs include:

Weight Loss: Decrease body weight
Muscle Building: Improve bone density and build muscle
Athletic: Increase power and decrease risk of fall
General Fitness: Enhance functional mobility
Rehab Fit: Low-intensity program designed to assist with injury recovery
Body Toning: Reduce body fat and increase muscle definition

Immunity Boost: Simple and progressive re-entry to exercise after time off

Training Methods

In addition to the eight tailored programs available, there are also four different training methods that may be found within your program. These training methods will alter the feel of the workout by changing the speed, weight load, and number of repetitions. This provides variation in your workout, all while maintaining the same overall focus.

Training methods include:

Regular: One (1) weight. Classic controlled repetition tempo/speed.
Negative: Two (2) weights. Easier on the first half of the rep, heavier on the second half (or return of rep).
Adaptive: Decreases weight mid-set as it senses your muscles getting tired.
Explonic: Meant for rapid, explosive movement.

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 you to perform the exercises correctly.
Regular maximum strength measurements automatically calculate the ideal training weight on each machine and continuously adapts the parameters in line with your training achievements. This stimulates steady growth and prevents training plateaus.
