Tailored Workouts with Cutting-Edge Technology
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Fitness enthusiasts are now presented with the opportunity to achieve their New Year’s resolutions through the innovative Egym program, recently launched at the YMCA of Greater Cleveland’s French Creek branch in Avon.
According to District Executive Director Joe Cerny, ’79 percent of New Year resolutions are centered around health and wellness,’ making the Egym platform an ideal tool to help users reach their fitness goals.
Cerny shared that, ‘The Egym offers a full-body circuit workout that guides users through each exercise step-by-step. With interactive video screens and personalized tracking, Egym suits everyone—from novices to seasoned gym-goers.’
Smart and Customized Fitness Experience
The system is designed to adapt to each individual, capturing biometric readings during the initial workout and adjusting settings accordingly for weight, strength, and range of motion. ‘This eliminates the guesswork over whether one’s form or weights are appropriate; it’s all done automatically,’ Cerny explained.
In an effort to enhance workout engagement, the Egym program incorporates gamification. Cerny noted, ‘This feature keeps users motivated by aiming to complete exercises correctly, akin to ‘Pac Man’ collecting coins while maximizing workout efficiency.’
Impact and Future Plans
Cerny indicated that the Greater Cleveland YMCA is among the first in the country to implement the Egym system, which has produced substantial excitement among users, already attracting over 700 participants. Given its success, there are plans to expand the program to other branches in Cleveland.
The use of Egym has shown impressive results, with participants reporting reduction in their ‘bio age’—the age of the body based on physical fitness. Members have seen an average strength increase of 16%, attributed to their dedication while using Egym.
To enhance the experience, users have access to eight programs and four training methods that are specifically tailored to suit their fitness objectives. Egym integrates seamlessly with various third-party smart devices and includes a broad array of cardio equipment.
Individuals interested in experiencing Egym can participate with a YMCA membership, which includes a complimentary orientation session to navigate the system effectively. ‘The beauty of Egym is it simplifies complex processes, making it an enjoyable experience for users as it grows with them,’ Cerny concluded.
