We are proud to introduce EGYM at the Y! EGYM is coming soon at our East and Northwest branches, providing a comprehensive training option that takes the guesswork out of exercise.
EGYM smart circuit machines automatically adjust to your custom settings for weight, range of motion and cardiovascular exercise, guiding you through a full-body workout in as little as 20 minutes.
YOUR FITNESS GOALS ARE WITHIN REACH
EGYM's training technology takes the guesswork out of training. With a press of your EGYM band, Smart Strength and Smart Cardio equipment automatically adjust to your personal settings. It's fun and easy to use, making exercise feel more like a game than a workout!
Remove the guesswork with personalized, automatic machine settings
After a one-time introduction session, the machines will adjust to your setting automatically at every training session using a smart bracelet.
Measure your progress with insightful analysis
Your training progress will be visible and will show your potential for improvement. Also, you can automatically collect data from external devices and apps such as FitBit, Runkeeper, and Strava for your training records and to incorporate this information in the training analysis.
Have fun!
Increase your activity level with fun, motivating and intuitive workouts. Challenge yourself to lower your biological age. Discover muscle imbalances and watch as your strength builds. Whatever your fitness goals, feel empowered to reach them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use EGYM in the East and Northwest branches?
Yes, your YMCA of Central New York membership provides access to all of our locations and your EGYM wrist band will allow you to use the equipment in both branches.
What features are included in the app?
It identifies bio age, muscle imbalances, and max strength (all EGYM strength tests), allows you to log workouts and activities, and track points achieved. All exercises generate a certain number of points that can be used to motivate users or compete in challenges.
What happens if I lose or forget my band?
Please see a Wellness Coach for assistance regarding replacement. Replacement bands are $5.
How often will I take a strength test?
Each program will automatically prompt users to complete a new strength test every 6 sessions/workout (per machine). Users have the option to decline, however, strength tests help to determine starting weight in the next phase of your training program.
How often will my training program change?
Each training program (suggested by a Wellness Coach during your orientation) will help you move forward into the next training method after each strength test.
What machine do I start on?
Always start at Machine #1. This is to prevent disrupting other members from progressing through the circuit. To complete multiple sets of a particular exercise, please complete the circuit and come back around to complete another set.
What does the timer mean, and when should I begin exercising?
The orange circle moving around the timer indicates the exercise time (80 seconds). The blue circle indicates the rest time (30 seconds), at which point the user should be moving to the next machine. It is highly recommended that members hit the start button during the rest period to get the full amount of exercise time.
What do I do if I have questions on seat settings or my training program?
Please see a Wellness Coach or Personal Trainer to help you adjust seat settings or answer questions regarding your training program.
Is there an additional cost associated with EGYM or is it included in my membership?
EGYM is free with your YMCA of Central New York membership! Visit a member services desk or a Wellness Coach in the fitness area to learn more and schedule your onboarding orientation.
