EGYM Genius

Smarter Rest Timer for more effective workouts

With the new Rest Timer, your members’ workouts are even more efficient. Genius now suggests optimal rest times based on their selected fitness goal.

New: Minimisable Rest Timer
We’ve redesigned the timer interface to provide more flexibility and interaction during rest periods.

• Minimise the timer and still interact with the workout screen
• Countdown remains visible even when minimised
• Get notified when rest time ends – even with screen locked
• Quick +/-10 second buttons for on-the-fly adjustments
• Dedicated pause button

This feature is available across the entire EGYM Ecosystem.

What this means for your gym
✅ Better training quality
✅ Members know exactly when the next set begins
✅ Smoother interaction with training plans
 

Smart Training Plans with the Activity Preference Model

Members want training plans that truly reflect their goals and life stage. A young adult’s needs differ from those of an active older adult – and Genius now recognises that even better.

The new Activity Preference Model makes your workout programming smarter than ever. Using billions of Smart Strength data points, Genius identifies which exercises have worked best for different groups and recommends them automatically – based on demographics, fitness goals, preferred or skipped exercises, and patterns from similar users.

The result: Training plans that feel personal, motivating, and more effective than ever. Your team can coach smarter with less manual work.

What this means for your gym
✅ Higher motivation: members feel understood and stay committed
✅ Greater efficiency: less manual plan customisation
✅ Stronger retention: personalised plans lead to more satisfied members
 

More variety thanks to smart exercise similarity

Members looking for more workout variety are in luck. We’ve improved the AI logic to automatically suggest alternative and complementary exercises when a workout includes duplicates. 

What this means for your club
✅ Trainers save time when adapting plans
✅ Members stay engaged through more variety
 

Better rep guidance for unilateral and alternating movements

To give members better guidance, Genius now explains how to count reps in unilateral and alternating exercises – how many reps are expected per side.

• Unilateral exercises (e.g. single-arm kettlebell swings):
  → Reps are now shown per side
  👉 10 reps per side = 20 total reps
• Alternating exercises (e.g. alternating bicep curls):
  → Reps are shown alternating
  👉 10 reps alternating = 20 total reps

What this means for your gym
✅ Clearer reps guidance
✅ Better tracking
✅ Fewer trainer questions
