Training Methods
Regular Training
Regular Training is one of the EGYM Classic training methods. It is characterized by constant resistance through the concentric and eccentric movements.
Guided curve increases users focus on completing quality reps
Game-like interface makes training fun
User no longer has to think about speed of movement or duration
Proper ergonomics due to a one time setup with qualified trainer reduces injury risk
Improves quality and benefit from guided exercise
Regular training is included with EGYM Classic
Negative Training
Negative Training is another EGYM Classic training method. With the eccentric enhanced Negative Training method, the EGYM system automatically adjusts the weight on both the concentric and eccentric movements. Its like having a virtual training partner adjust the weights for you.
Starting with a lower training weight on the concentric movement, the machine automatically increases the load by a certain percentage and elongates the eccentric phase to provide overload during the training session. Then the machine automatically lowers the resistance again to allow the user to pull the weight back through the concentric phase.
Longer eccentric phase increases hormonal stimulation
Negative training can now be done without a partner
Guided curve increases users focus on completing quality reps
Safer environment increases users likelihood of performing this training method
Negative training is included with the EGYM Classic
*Adaptive Training
Adaptive Training is the EGYM version of partner assisted training. The EGYM system will 'adapt' to the users fatigue which is evidenced by the inability of the user to maintain tracking of the ball within the curve. The weight will automatically reduce by x percent to allow the user to continue pushing through to the end of the set.
Exhaustion of complete muscle potential
Increased neuromuscular and hormonal stimulation
Activation of inactive muscle fibers
A virtual training partner is integrated into the EGYM machine and assists when the member becomes fatigued.
Only available with EGYM Premium
*Explonic Training
Explonic Training is the EGYM equivalent of plyometric training. Generally thought of as an Athlete only training method, the EGYM system has developed a safe way to train this high intensity method which can now be adapted to other demographics of users. Think elderly! Fast twitch muscle fiber is constantly in decline as one ages. The ability to catch ones self from a trip decreases, which results in a broken bone and hospital visit. How would you normally train an elderly person to retain fast twitch muscle? It used to be difficult, with EGYM now its easy!
A high-intensity training method done in safe and controlled manner.
Elderly can now retain fast twitch muscle fiber by conducting plyo-training with low risk.
Increased hormonal and neuromuscular adaptations to facilitate power output and retain muscle mass
Safe and effective for a wide range of users.
