Available at the Whitaker Family YMCA, EGYM smart strength machines conduct a strength assessment to find your optimal resistance setting, and will continuously do so throughout your training.
With the tap of an RFID-enabled wristband that you'll receive at your EGYM orientation, each strength machine automatically sets the weight level and range of motion for you. A video game-like interface on every machine guides you to move at the right pace with the right form.
When in circuit mode, machines tell you when it's time to move to the next machine to ensure a full workout in 30 minutes.

EGYM is a system of equipment that guides you rep-by-rep through circuit workouts. During your onboarding appointment an EGYM coach will give you your personal wristband and walk you through a strength assessment to find your optimal resistance settings. Your coach will also set the machines to your proper range of motion. After this initial time through with a coach you are good to go. Next time you show up, tap your wristband on the marked area and the machines will automatically set the weight level and range of motion for you. The smart equipment will adapt and progress you through a workout with an interactive screen. All your workouts are logged in to your YMCA of Central KY app without any memorizing or guesswork needed.
