“Citius, altius, fortius” is the motto of the Olympic Games, translated into English as “faster, higher, stronger”. Every ambitious athlete wants to jump further and higher, run faster, be the toughest opponent, hit harder. The EGYM Performance training program aims to optimise your individual athletic skills.

Performance training is made up of the following major components.

1. Maximum power during training
Short, high intensity units maximise our performance and the strength of our muscles, and allow us to utilise more muscle capacity.

2. Explosive strength development during training
High speeds and maximum strain help you gain strength in the minimum time possible (explosive strength).

Strength is a major component of the Performance training program. Scientifically, strength is defined as the basic force that influences the additional forces known as power and endurance. In other words: the greater your strength, the better you can train your power and endurance. A typical athletics program often includes very intense units such as sprints and jumps. However, those engaging in this type of training have a high risk of injury.

The EGYM Performance training program offers you a highly efficient alternative for training your athletic skills without a running track: circuit training using EGYM machines.

The EGYM Performance training program takes the two types of training listed above and integrates them into our EGYM machine training program. Our training programs are divided into different phases to provide the optimal training stimulus at exactly the right time, based on your goals and the progress you have made. Each phase begins by measuring your strength, in order to continuously adjust the training weight to your individual needs.
