Our choice

## Why we choose EGYM

After years of working with patients and athletes we looked for the best technology to enable safe, effective and accessible training. EGYM is what we found.

### Fully automated

Every machine sets seat, weight and program automatically via an RFID wristband. No manual settings, no mistakes.

### Maximum safety

Motor-driven resistance prevents overload. The machine caps the weight based on your strength level — ideal for recovery or chronic complaints.

### Scientifically backed

The Bio-Age and Health Check are based on validated fitness tests. The system builds an evidence-based training plan that adapts after every session.

### Efficient training

A complete full-body workout in 30 minutes on 8 machines. No waiting, no looking up plans — maximum results in minimum time.
