Egym has introduced Open Mode on its Smart Strength machines, enabling them to be used as a replacement for traditional weights on the fitness floor, rather than solely as circuit-based machines. The new functionality opens up access to smart features such as automatic settings, training methods and smart weight profiles.

In Open Mode, members can work out on Egym Smart Strength equipment as a guest, without having to set up an account.

Beginners can work out with the guidance of the Egym Curve and training programmes, while advanced users can have a workout tailored to their needs.

Exercisers adjust repetitions, weights and training methods, while workout routines such as pyramid training or drop sets are automatically saved. A new feedback feature – the Egym Bar – is designed to motivate users during workouts. Workout analytics via the Egym Fitness Hub, trainer app, or branded member app are also available.

Egym’s Tanya Hall says: “Our Open Mode makes personalisation possible across the entire fitness floor.”
