Training modes and methods
- EGYM Circuit mode
Machines are synchronized and members use the machines in a defined sequence.
- EGYM Pro mode
Machines function independently, and members can train at their own pace and choose the training weight and exercise.
Training methods
EGYM machines offer several training methods that adjust how resistance behaves during an exercise, allowing users to train for different goals.
| Classic The Classic training method provides constant resistance throughout the entire range of motion. Benefits:
| |
| Eccentric The Eccentric training method applies more resistance while the muscle lengthens (eccentric phase) than while it contracts (concentric phase). Benefits:
| |
| Adaptive The Adaptive training method automatically adjusts resistance in real time, based on the members' muscular fatigue. As muscular fatigue increases, the load is reduced so each repetition can be performed without compromising form. Benefits:
| |
| Isokinetic (Not available in the U.S.) The Isokinetic training method matches the machine's resistance to the member's force output throughout the entire range of motion. Benefits:
| |
| Explosive The Explosive training method provides minimal resistance during initial acceleration , then increases the load as the member reaches peak velocity. Benefits:
| |
| Max Out The Max Out training method starts at a low resistance (35% of the strength test result). After every successful repetition, the machine increases the load by 5%. The set concludes when a repetition cannot be completed with proper form. Benefits:
