Fitness Orientations
Welcome to the Y! We are honored that you have chosen us to be a part of your health journey. No matter what brought you here, we want to make sure that you are safe and comfortable in our fitness center.
You may be an experienced exerciser looking to incorporate EGYM, the most innovative training system on the market into your workout routine. You could be signing up a teenager that is ready for strength training on their own or a parent/guardian looking to bond with your child through fitness. No matter what your motivation, our free orientations will set you on the right path to your goals.
EGYM Orientation
Smart Training for Real People.
Have you always wanted to do strength training but found the process too intimidating, monotonous, or didn’t see results soon enough? Exclusive in Dane County to the YMCA, EGYM is ideal for you and the majority of exercisers. On average, EGYM users experience a 29% increase in strength in the first 12 weeks. What is even better, it is a FREE member benefit.
Personalized: Once you go through an initial setup, EGYM will optimize your workouts based on your goals and current strength so you no longer need to remember what weight you were at, how many reps you were doing, or wondering if your tempo was correct. Simply scan your personal EGYM wristband and the machine sets everything up for you.
Engaging: Your workout on EGYM is gamified to keep you interested, engage your mind as well as your muscles, and set the correct tempo to maximize your results. Since the machine uses an electric motor, it can vary the resistance to make it easier in one direction or harder in the other direction based on your goals. It also varies the workout every 6 times to provide variety to keep you engaged and to work your muscles in different ways.
Efficient: All 11 pieces in the circuit end at the same time so everyone moves together in a clockwise fashion to provide an efficient workout. In fact, one lap around the circuit only takes 21 minutes. For best results, two laps are recommended which means you can get a full body strength workout in under 45 minutes.
EGYM requires an initial setup so sign up today! One person per 30 minute appointment.
