Training Overview
Training Overview
This is how easy training with EGYM is from the perspective of a user.
1. Log in and the machine adjusts to your personal settings:
As soon as you log in to the machine it automatically adjusts to your precise settings – having to set the weight and seat heights are now a thing of the past. Just hold your EGYM RFID chip up to the machine and start your workout.
2. Your ideal training weight is calculated based on an initial strength test.
Automatically initiated strength tests every 6 sessions ensure that you’re always training with the right weight for your training goal and current performance. This ensures your muscles are efficiently stimulated across every stage of your strength training program.
After conducting the initial strength tests, in the background EGYM is automatically calculating your BioAge and Muscle Imbalances.
3. You follow a personalized EGYM curve.
EGYM curve makes your workout easy and safe while providing plenty of motivation. The EGYM curve will specify the correct range of motion and speed for the exercise, depending on your training goal. A video game-like interface provides additional fun and motivates you to perform every repetition as directed, to 'collect those coins'.
4. Analyze your progress in the app.
Various analysis tools allow you to monitor and track your training progress from day 1. Both you and your trainer can view completed exercises and performance analysis on your smartphones at any time and your training plan is always on hand.

Your training plan will be specifically tailored to your physical requirements, goals, and progress. All important training parameters are automatically and precisely tailored to your needs.
Customized Training Parameters
Customized Training Parameters
Weight: Training weight is adjusted each phase to ensure you are reaching your training goal: heavier weight for hypertrophy or power, lower weight for muscular endurance.
Number of Reps: Lots of repetitions on a lower weight will add to muscle definition, while fewer repetitions with greater weight will increase muscle size.
*Training Duration: A weight loss goal requires shorter rest breaks and longer training times, where as muscle building requires longer time under tension but shorter training times with longer rest breaks.
With EGYM Classic all users will TRAIN FOR 60 seconds and REST AND SWITCH Machines for 50 Seconds
With EGYM+ users training and rest durations are individualized to them. However ALL users will ALWAYS switch machines at the same time regardless of training time. See below for further explanation
Speed of Exercise: A fast, explosive exercise boosts power, which is well suited to developing power and general conditioning.
Training Duration Explained
Training Duration Explained
The EGYM circuit timer is set for 110 second cycle. A portion of that time is for work and a portion is for rest. In order to achieve the EGYM pillar of Individualization, the training duration of each training goal and method are modified to provide the best training stimulus for every user.
The duration of a set can range from 80 seconds of work to 42 seconds of work. If 80 seconds of the 110 cycle is for work, then 30 seconds is reserved for resting and switching machines. If 42 seconds of the 110 is the work cycle then 68 seconds is for resting and switching machines.
Because the longest work interval is 80 seconds, the software automatically defaults to this time when the machines are not in use. When a user logs in to begin training, the timer will automatically adjust according to their program. Users can log in at any point but its best to login during the blue rest phase to maximize training time.
Users with shorter rest periods should move more quickly between machines and log in to begin working at their expected time.
Periodization
Periodization
If the load applied in training remains the same for a long period of time, your body gets used to it. The result is the training has less effect. To prevent this, you need to regularly increase muscle stimulation.
The EGYM training programs provide optimal periodization to ensure you hit your goal. The training method is changed every six sessions and a new stimulus is applied allowing you to reach your maximum potential.
Training Methods
Training Methods
Different training goals require different training methods. A marathon runner will train differently to a weightlifter. This is important, and we take it into account with a range of integrated training methods.
Methods
Methods
Regular: Resistance remains consistent, just like in conventional strength training.
Negative: The resistance applied in the eccentric phase is higher than in the concentric phase
Adaptive*: The resistance is reduced during training, as the machine adapts to your fatigue.
Explonic*: A consistent weight is applied with maximum acceleration
*Available only for members with EGYM+ activated.
Training Goals*
Training Goals*
Members with EGYM+ may choose between the following training goals to personalize their workout depending on their intentions. Each option has a different progression of workouts to best achieve your goal.
Goals:
Goals:
Rehab Fit: The Rehab Fit training program is for people who require a gentle workout as part of a preventative healthcare program, rehabilitation to address existing problems, or recovery after an injury.
General Fitness: The General Fitness training program is perfect for you if you want to maintain and boost your physical abilities and athletic performance.
Muscle Building: The muscle building training program puts the focus on intensive muscle exertion with exercises performed slowly for maximum muscle growth.
Body Toning: The Body Toning program combines strength endurance and hypertrophy training for optimal body definition.
Weight Loss: The Weight Loss training program is designed to burn maximum calories and for long-term improvement of fat metabolism.
Athletic: The Athletic training program focuses on improving strength, conditioning, and general performance with a focus on power, explosiveness, and endurance.
Metabolic Fit: Metabolic Fit is a training program to regulate blood glucose levels, designed specifically for people with type 2 diabetes.
Immunity Boost: Those who have taken an extended break from training and want to return appropriately or those wanting to stimulate the immune system without compromise, will benefit from this moderate intensity program.
