Smart Strength Open Mode Onboarding Guide

Introduction

About this Guide

This guide covers Open Mode on EGYM Smart Strength Machines. Smart Strength machines have two operating modes:

  • Circuit Mode – Guided workout flow, structured by the gym

  • Open Mode – Flexible training experience where you can choose between Auto and Individual modes.

Smart Strength Overview

EGYM Smart Strength is a fully connected strength training solution designed to meet the needs of every member while streamlining operations for gym owners. The combination of smart equipment and real-time personalization delivers safe, effective, and measurable workouts that adapt to each member's needs.

Open Mode Overview

Open mode offers two different training modes (Auto, Individual) that adapt to the user's needs and experience level.

To change modes, tap on the current training mode in the menu icon (top left). On the mode selection screen, select Auto or Individual.

Auto Mode

EGYM recommends Auto Mode for members who want structured guidance.

  • Use of training programs (Basic or EGYM+).

  • Training settings are automatically defined by the training program.

  • Strength test scheduled after six days of training.

  • Live feedback always uses the EGYM curve.

Individual Mode

EGYM recommends Individual Mode for members who want full autonomy.

  • Configure your own training: method, repetitions, weight.

  • Settings are saved separately for each method and machine.

  • You can switch between live feedback options: curve (guided) and bar (free, non-guided) views.

Training Settings

Métodos de treino

Os diferentes métodos de treino disponíveis permitem um treino mais eficaz e individualizado, específico para os diferentes grupos-alvo.

Training_methods_regular.png

Regular

Com o método de treino Regular, a resistência mantém-se sempre constante, à semelhança do treino de força clássico.

Benefits:  

  • User-friendly and intuitive.

  • Ideal for beginners.

Training_methods_negative.png

Negativo

Maior resistência na fase excêntrica do que na fase concêntrica.

Benefits:

  • Stimulates muscle growth through eccentric overload and supports tendon health.

  • Builds resilience and strength while maintaining lower metabolic demand.

Training_methods_adaptive.png

Adaptativo

A resistência é reduzida durante o exercício adaptativo, dependendo do potencial de ação muscular remanescente.

Benefícios: estimula o crescimento muscular através do aumento da fadiga muscular.

  • Stimulates muscle growth through increased muscle fatigue.

Training_methods_isokinestic.png

Isocinético (não disponível em todos os mercados)

Com o método de treino isocinético, a energia gasta pelo utilizador cria uma resistência igual no equipamento.

Benefícios: treinar no limite da força natural em cada movimento angular

  • Controlled movement which results in reduced strain on joints. 

  • Ideal for rehabilitation and athletic training.

Training_methods_explonic.png

Explosivo

Peso constante com aceleração máxima.

Benefícios: aumenta a potência e o desempenho físico no desporto, bem como a força para as atividades diárias.

  • Designed to improve explosive strength by accelerating the weight as quickly as possible. 

  • Builds power and physical performance. 

Max Out as Training Method

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: 

  • Stimulates muscle growth through increased muscle fatigue.
