​Welcome to EGYM!

​Whatever your wellness goals, reach them with EGYM—a new, personalized, and full-body strength-training experience.
Best of all, EGYM is included in your YMCA membership.

What is EGYM??
EGYM is a series of state-of-the-art fitness equipment designed to make your workouts as efficient and personalized as possible.  Smart consoles adjust to your measurements and design workout routines that are easy to follow and hyper-targeted to your personal fitness goals.  Working out has never been easier, and, best of all, with its gamified interface, never been more FUN.

How does EGYM work? 
EGYM guides you through circuit workouts, rep by rep. 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 and set the machines to your proper range of motion. When you are ready to work out, simply tap your RFID wristband on the marked area, and each machine will automatically set the weight level and range of motion for you. The smart equipment will adapt and guide you through a workout with an interactive screen, and all your workouts are logged directly to the app without any memorizing or guesswork needed. ​

How do I get started?
All members must complete a 30-minute orientation before using EGYM equipment. Click the button to the right to email our Director of Operations and request an appointment.

​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.

How old do you have to be to use EGYM equipment?
You must be 13 years old and meet the minimum height/weight requirements.

EGYM Features

• The interactive video screen on each machine guides you to move at the right pace and with the right form. You get a complete workout every time, without worrying about counting reps or a workout journal, as it automatically tracks your workout and sends it to your app.

• Workout parameters such as training weight, number of repetitions, speed of movement, or session length 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.  Leaderboards show who has completed the most workouts each week/month.
• Regular maximum strength measurements automatically calculate the ideal training weight on each machine and continuously adapts the parameters with training achievements – creating stimuli for steady growth and preventing training plateaus. ​

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

• Weight Loss | Decrease Body Weight 
• Muscle Building | Improve Bone Density & Build Muscle 
• Athletic | Increase Power & Decrease Risk of Fall

Training Methods
In addition to the eight (8) tailored programs available, there are also four (4) 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. ​

Etiquette

• Wipe touch points with a sanitizing wipe after each use and transit to the next station. 
• Start the circuit in any open machine and transit clockwise through the circuit. (You do not need to start at the beginning of the circuit). 
• Stay in order of exercises in the circuit, and do not stay on a piece of equipment performing multiple sets. 
• The equipment is arranged circuit style.  Enter an empty machine to start the circuit.  Everyone will be exercising at the same time with the orange timer.  Everyone transitions at the same time with the blue timer.  To maintain the flow of the traffic and keep the circuit seamless, stay in order of the circuit.
