What is eGym?
it’s Smart Technology Strength Equipment
The smart technology strength equipment at the YMCA automatically syncs with the eGym fitness app to track your progress and adjusts to your personalized settings when you tap on your wristband, altering your workouts based on your progress so that you never stagnate or over-work.
The eGym works for EVERYONE, from the beginner to the more advanced athlete. Gain confidence that you’re doing the right workouts the right way!
Our Y’s eGym circuit consists of 10 fully electronic stations that cover all the major muscle groups and have been developed according to the latest exercise science research.
To use these machines, each member completes an orientation where they receive their free personalized identification band*, which allows the machines to recognize you, adjust for height, weight and strength, and tracks your progress.
The eGym machines feature touchscreens with an interface like a video game that shows you how many reps to do, at what speed and with what range of motion. The eGym machines are arranged in a circuit and a timer tells you when to change machines to ensure a full workout in under 45 minutes. These machines are incredibly easy to use because they’re personalized to you.

Why eGym Works
eGym was developed using state-of-the-art exercise science. Different fitness goals require different workouts—a weightlifter works out differently than someone who has never strength trained. In order to make sure that you start at a comfortable level, never overtrain, and always keep improving, eGym adapts the following equipment settings based on your goal, progress and body type:
- Weight
If you want to gain muscle, eGym will set a higher training weight whereas a lower weight is sufficient for weight loss. - Number of reps
Many repetitions with less weight define the muscle, whereas few repetitions with more weight enlarge it. - Training duration
eGym alternates long, less intensive sessions with short, high intensity ones to ensure that you’ll continue to grow. - Pace of Movement
A fast, explosive movement has a different effect than a long slow movement.
How Do Y Members Get Started?
To use these machines, YMCA members complete a personal orientation where they receive their personalized identification band, which allows the machines to recognize them, adjust for height, weight and strength, and tracks their individual progress. The machines cannot be used without the band.
During the eGym orientation, members learn how to operate the machines and navigate the equipment. eGym machines feature touchscreens with an interface like a video game that shows you how many reps to do, at what speed and with what range of motion.
