How does Genius create training plans?
EGYM Genius uses insights from over 8 billion tracked workout data points, 500 million assessment data points, and thousands of expert-created training plans, combined with specific information about your gym and its members.
This results in individualized recommendations, such as initial mobility exercises and tailored training volumes to suit each member's specific fitness level and goals.
Here’s how it works:
Training plans are generated based on your gym’s equipment and available exercises.
Gym inventory
To ensure accurate recommendations:
Upload your complete gym inventory to the EGYM Business Suite.
Include strength, cardio, functional, and free weight equipment.
Specify vendor and product line details to support proper rounding and machine settings.
Huomaa
If a piece of equipment is not added to the gym inventory, no exercises can be prescribed for it.
Similarly, if key information like increments or max weight are missing for free weights or functional equipment, Genius may display the raw weight recommendation for the member that doesn't match what you have in your gym. This happens because Genius can't match the weight to your equipment if it doesn't know which weights are available.
To avoid this, make sure all free weights and functional equipment are correctly added to your gym inventory, including weight increments and minimum/maximum weights.
Exercise Library
The exercise library determines which exercises Genius can select. It is filtered based on the uploaded gym inventory and is customizable.
Each member’s training plan is tailored using onboarding information provided via the Fitness Hub or the Trainer App, including:
Training experience level
Fitness goals (for example, weight loss or muscle building)
Preferred workout frequency and duration
Focused and excluded muscles
Excluded equipment
Huomaa
Gym experience and excluded equipment have the strongest impact on the resulting plan. Other inputs help refine exercise selection and training volume.
Assessments are used to personalize both the type and intensity of exercises.
Body analysis
A body analysis (such as weight measurement or body composition analysis) provides initial metrics that serve as a starting point for tracking changes in your health and fitness over time.
Strength tests
Genius requires at least four strength tests on EGYM Smart Strength machines to enable accurate weight recommendations.
Genius cannot assign weights or settings for the following activity types:
Fitness classes (including custom classes)
Sports (for example, football, dancing, tennis)
"Placeholder" activities, such as custom strength exercises or custom fitness classes
EGYM Smart Strength machines (weights are based on the strength test results)
Huomaa
To prioritize safety, if there isn't enough data to recommend a feasible starting point or the member isn't strong enough for an exercise, Genius will assign conservative values or none at all.
For example, if a trainer manually adds a difficult exercise for a beginner-level member, Genius may assign 0 kg to reflect feasibility.
For uncommon exercises, prediction quality may be limited due to the lack of available training data. Data on these exercises will be improved by our team incrementally over time.
