This July, EGYM is launching a major ecosystem update engineered to drive member retention, expand training capabilities for health-conscious members, and eliminate friction across the entire fitness floor. Here is your deep dive into the upcoming features.

1. The new Longevity Programme

To directly support members looking to improve their BioAge and protect their long-term health, we are launching specialised longevity programmes.

These protocols are engineered for healthspan and functional mobility—ultimately driving long-term member retention.

• Genius Longevity Goal: This holistic program intelligently optimises member workouts based on a scientifically proven formula for healthy ageing—balancing 50% cardio, 35% strength, and 15% flexibility.
• Smart Strength Longevity Programme: Built on a sustainable, 4-phase progression, this programme utilises standard interval training, eccentric training, and explosive movements to maximise results. Because eccentric training delivers a high mechanical load with minimal metabolic and cardiovascular stress, members achieve significant strength and hypertrophy gains without over-exhausting their systems.
• Smart Cardio Longevity Program: The cardiovascular component is split into two science-backed zones. One programme provides 30 minutes of steady-state Zone 2 training (which should make up 80% of cardio volume for mitochondrial efficiency), while the second delivers short, 45-second Zone 5 high-intensity intervals (to improve VO2max).

👉 This will be rolled out in stages between July 1-15, 2026.

2. EGYM Programmes update

We are fundamentally redesigning our EGYM programmes to shift the focus from training complexity to member consistency.

True progress for beginners and optimal circuit flow requires structured periodisation, not complex method switching. By simplifying these programs and removing high-friction training methods, we help members exercise with confidence and build lasting habits—significantly reducing drop-off rates.

This redesign allows us to clearly position EGYM as the highly guided, structured solution—ideal for beginners and any EGYM Circuit user who wants a fast, efficient, full-body workout with zero guesswork. Meanwhile, EGYM Genius AI and EGYM Pro cater to members seeking total freedom of choice and more training options on the open fitness floor, delivering the hyper-personalised flexibility and advanced periodisation that experienced lifters expect.

Naming update

In addition, we are updating our naming conventions for Programs, Goals, and Methods to use clear, outcome-oriented language. This ensures a seamless user experience that aligns perfectly with the 'What’s your goal?' member onboarding flow.

Training Programs & Goals

• "General fitness" is now "Stay fit"
• "Muscle building" is now "Build muscle"
• "Body Toning" is now "Get lean & strong"
• "Weight loss" is now "Lose weight"
• "Athletic" is now "Performance"
• "Rehab" is now "Rebuild"
• "Metabolic Fit" is now "Metabolic health"
• "Immunity Boost" is now "Boost immunity"
• "Basic" is now "Basic strength" (Smart Strength only)

(Note: We are also introducing the Smart Strength Programmes: Metabolic Health and Immunity Boost as goals in EGYM Genius.)

Training Methods

• "Regular" is now "Classic"
• "Negative" is now "Eccentric"
• "Explonic" is now "Explosive”
• “Adaptive” and “Max Out” will remain unchanged

👉 This will be rolled out in stages between July 1-15, 2026.

Important: For members currently in an active program, the displayed name will update automatically with the July release. However, their underlying training structure will only change once they select their next program. This prevents unexpected mid-routine disruptions, eliminates member confusion, and ensures a seamless transition for your staff.

3. Coached workout: your plan on Smart Strength

For members receiving Trainer Plans or using Genius AI, the EGYM app now syncs directly with the machine. When a member taps "Start Workout" in the app and logs into a Smart Strength machine, the machine automatically loads their exact prescribed exercises, sets, reps, and training methods.

The machine dynamically calculates the required weight based on the member's strength test. This perfectly closes the loop between digital coaching and physical execution.

(Note: This is currently not available for training plans created by the member – except those with Genius AI.)

👉 This will be rolled out in stages between July 1-15, 2026.

4. Frictionless machine logins & custom QR codes

We are drastically reducing login friction and empowering operators to drive upgrades directly from the fitness floor. Through the Business Suite, you can now select exactly which login mediums—phone, wristband, or card—are displayed as recommended options on Smart Strength and Fitness Hub screens, ensuring the on-screen interface perfectly matches your facility's actual setup.

Additionally, we are introducing highly configurable, dynamic QR codes on machine idle screens and access locks. These can be customised to link directly to your branded app download page, provide NFC wallet setup instructions, or seamlessly guide members to upgrade their EGYM memberships.

By delivering context-aware visual guidance right where the member stands, you eliminate login confusion and drive automated upsells without requiring staff intervention.
