What is EGYM?
EGYM is a smart strength circuit that provides a customized, full-body strength training workout in just 20 minutes. It takes the guesswork out of strength training and gives the member a fun, easy-to-use, motivating workout option that is customized to a member’s personal goals. EGYM equipment makes strength training work for everyone with automatic equipment set up that adjusts to the member, provides a goal-specific training plan, delivers a game-like experience that guides the member through their workout, and offers online results analysis through the EGYM app.
How does EGYM work?
EGYM is a system of equipment that guides the member rep-by-rep through workouts. Each member will goes through a quick onboarding session, where they receive a smart wristband that automatically syncs with a mobile app. Members enter the circuit at the starting machine and follow a pre-defined order. When the member taps their wristband on the EGYM equipment the machine will adjust to their personalized settings and provide a guided, game-like workout. The member’s training plan will adjust based on their progress.
How to get started?
Members can get started with their free strength training experience simply by signing up for a quick EGYM Onboarding Session at Member Services, through the YMCA Buffalo Niagara Mobile app, or online. During your EGYM Onboarding Session an EGYM coach will give you your free wristband and walk you through a strength assessment to find your optimal resistance setting. Your coach will also set the machine to your proper range of motion. After these initial steps with a coach you are good to go. Next time you show up, tap your wristband on the marked area, and the machines will automatically set the weight level and range of motion for you. The EGYM smart equipment will adapt and progress you through a workout with an interactive screen. And all of your workouts are logged in an app without any work needed!
