Complete the pre-installation checklist to make sure your gym is ready for the delivery of EGYM Equipment. Refer to the Facility Preparation Guide for more details.

Pre-installation checklist

Complete this checklist before delivery.

  • Send pictures and videos of your facility to EGYM Order Management, showing the pathway from the delivery access point to the installation areas. 

  • Define machine locations (refer to Machine space requirements).

    • Contact your EGYM representative about a room plan; an EGYM room plan is required for orders of 3 or more machines. 

    • Follow the Fitness Hub placement recommendations to ensure accurate camera measurements.

  • Confirm the floor has sufficient load-bearing capacity for the machines (refer to Machine weights and dimensions).

  • Install a grounded power outlet within 1 m (3 ft) of each machine location.

  • Plan the WiFi router location or LAN cable routing. 

    Note

    LAN connection is required for the Fitness Hub. A 2 m LAN cable is included with a Fitness Hub order. 

    • Define the LAN cable route to each machine (refer to LAN requirements), or

    • Define the EGYM router location within 15 m (50 ft) of the machines (refer to Wi-Fi requirements). 

  • Prepare cable management (refer to Cable management options).

  • Contact an electrician to determine the required number of RCCBs and OCPDs. Tell your electrician:

    • the number of machines

    • the rated current of each machine

  • Check regional voltage and plug requirements (refer to Power requirements).

  • If you want to switch all machines on/off simultaneously, ask your electrician to install a panel switch.

  • Secure a broadband connection with a bandwidth of at least 5 Mbit/s (download), 1 Mbit/s (upload) per EGYM machine (see Network requirements).

    Note

    Contact your internet service provider as soon as possible. An active internet connection is required for installation.

  • Make an appointment with a qualified IT technician.

  • Activate a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.

    • Set DHCP lease time to a maximum of 12 hours.

    • Exclude IP address ranges 10.9.x.x and 10.11.x.x in the DHCP server.

    • Ensure the IP address pool is large enough for 2x the number of planned machines (>100 recommended).

  • Configure firewall to allow EGYM IP addresses and ports.

  • Confirm whether RFID wristbands are included in your order or need to be ordered separately, or

  • Verify third-party RFID compatibility.

  • Check with EGYM Order Management whether a scale is included in your order or needs to be added.

  • (Optional) Add a platform scale or a body composition scale to your order. 

  • If you order a body composition scale, start the integration process with the scale manufacturer (see Scale integration overview).
