Setup and requirements
Before you start using EGYM Genius, make sure your gym meets the necessary technical requirements and follows the recommended setup configurations. This ensures Genius runs smoothly and generates accurate training plans for your members.
Genius technical requirements
To use EGYM Genius AI, you’ll need:
The EGYM Fitness Hub and a connected partner scale
At least one EGYM Smart Strength machine (four recommended)
Genius for Members: The EGYM Member App
Genius for Trainers: The EGYM Trainer App
Once you meet these technical requirements, you’ll need to input your gym inventory into the Business Suite, including both smart machines and non-digital equipment. Genius AI can then use these data to generate daily workouts for members based on their individual fitness levels, goals, and performance.
For more information on what brands or lines of equipment can be integrated with Genius or will be integrated in the future, refer to the EGYM Genius Partner Roadmap.
Genius recommended setup
We recommend the following to optimize your Genius setup:
We highly recommend using a partnered body composition (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, BIA) scale.
While a basic scale is sufficient to get Genius up and running, a body composition scale provides richer data. This leads to more accurate AI recommendations and personalized training programs.
Additionally, members will gain a clearer understanding of their progress throughout their training journey. Seeing detailed results, like an increase in muscle mass in specific areas rather than just changes in overall body weight, can be far more motivating and rewarding for members.
We recommend using EGYM Pro for strength assessments to provide a smoother experience for everyone at your gym. While Circuit Mode works well for beginners, it can cause delays if someone takes longer to complete their strength assessment, disrupting the flow of the circuit for others.
EGYM Pro is more flexible, allowing both beginners and advanced members to take their time without impacting others. This makes it a better option for strength assessments, ensuring that regular members’ workouts aren’t interrupted.
If possible, set up a dedicated area with four EGYM Pro machines near the Fitness Hub for assessments for a smoother onboarding process. If that’s not feasible, we still suggest conducting assessments using EGYM Pro instead of Circuit Mode to avoid any disruptions.
By using EGYM Pro for assessments, you'll not only improve the member experience but also introduce more advanced training options for your gym, allowing everyone to fully benefit from EGYM Genius and EGYM machines in their weekly routines.
For the strength assessment, we recommend the following machines:
M7 Lat Pulldown or M6 Seated Row
M5 Chest Press or M17 Shoulder Press
M12 Rotary Torso or M2 Abdominal Crunch
M1 Leg Extension or M9 Leg Press
Refer to Customize your exercise library for details and instructions.
During the final steps of onboarding on the EGYM Fitness Hub, members will be prompted to select either Trainer Mode or EGYM Mode.
We recommend selecting EGYM Mode. This mode allows members to independently complete their onboarding and strength assessments on Smart Strength machines. By reducing the manual effort required from trainers, EGYM Mode streamlines the onboarding process and ensures accurate machine settings for each member.
This selection is available during the Genius onboarding process on the Fitness Hub. Alternatively, it can be accessed anytime by navigating to > .
