Looking for a workout that keeps up with you? Enter: EGYM Smart Strength — a tech-savvy strength training system that’s now available at the Life Center YMCA (and coming to the Prisma Health Family YMCA) in Greenville. It’s designed to guide you rep-by-rep through circuit workouts tailored to your goals + progress, every time you hit the gym.

How it works

EGYM Smart Strength tracks your stats, so all you have to do is bring the muscle. After a quick orientation with a coach, you’ll get a free wristband and complete a strength assessment to set up your ideal resistance level.

From there, it’s easy. Just tap your wristband on each machine, and the smart system automatically adjusts the weight, range of motion, and program to match your needs. It even tracks every rep for you in the EGYM app so you don’t have to.

Custom training programs

Whether you’re training for a marathon or looking to get in better shape in the New Year, this smart circuit offers personalized workouts for all kinds of fitness goals, including:

  • General fitness
  • Weight loss
  • Muscle building
  • Athletic (boost power + decrease risk of fall)
  • Immunity boost (gentle reentry to exercise after time off)
  • Body toning (define muscles)
  • Metabolic fit (improve muscle endurance)
  • Rehab fit (low-intensity training for injury recovery)

Psst… The machines regularly adjust to your progress, so every session matches your current fitness level.

Training methods

EGYM Smart Strength uses four training methods to keep workouts effective and interesting:

  • Regular: Steady tempo with light-to-moderate resistance
  • Negative: Lighter lifting phase and heavier, slower lowering phase for strength
  • Adaptive: Weight decreases as you fatigue
  • Explonic: Quick, explosive movements for building power

Want to give it a try? EGYM Smart Strength is included with a YMCA of Greenville membership.
