This article will explain precisely how Fitness Hub forms the centerpiece of the connected training floor: By adding this key component to the EGYM Ecosystem, we have transformed the entire member experience. From the first touch-point during prospecting or onboarding to recurring tests and assessments ⁠—Fitness Hub takes the entire workout experience to the next level!

Our co-founder and CEO Philipp Roesch-Schlanderer has been in great demand in recent weeks: No wonder, the launch of our latest innovation, the Fitness Hub, was met with a wave of enthusiasm and perfectly aligned with our industry rebooting as pandemic-era restrictions are gradually being lifted.

Anyone who’s signed up at the gym or tried achieving a training goal has faced this problem: At the start of a workout regime, you quickly notice making significant gains building muscles, becoming stronger, or losing weight. After only a few sessions, however, things stagnate and you can no longer make any progress. Why is that? You’re working out just as much as before, but the results of training are decreasing before finally petering out entirely.

Muscular imbalances can occur due to physical inactivity, repetitive strains exerted on the body on a day-to-day basis, or unilateral exercise.

We’re putting an end to the eternal debate and clearing things up by explaining why and how you can build muscle and burn fat at the same time.

If you’re looking for a way to boost your metabolism, then you have lots of options. It only takes minor changes to your diet or lifestyle to kick-start your metabolism and increase your basal metabolic rate. Both are great for weight loss. We are talking about changes that are both easy to make and easy to integrate into your daily routine. Below you’ll find 10 tips that we think will help you succeed:

The afterburn effect, also known officially as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), is a physiological reaction to intense physical exercise and sport which allows the body to consume more calories for several hours after coming to rest. The afterburn effect ensures an elevated pulse and breathing for a certain period of time, the additional release of hormones, as well as the repair and regeneration of muscle cells.

Maintaining the highest standards of hygiene currently requires frequent use of disinfectant products.

Stretching can make you more flexible, limber up muscles, and help temporarily relieve tension.

It is now widely recognized that physical activity is healthy. But what exactly are the effects of working out and what happens in the body?

Explonic can be found in the EGYM “Athletic” and “General Fitness” training programs. The new method for practicing "power" doesn’t just appeal to athletes but also to older gym members. Having explosive strength or “power” is not only important in sports but also in everyday life, for example, going up flights of stairs, getting up, or preventing yourself from falling. The EGYM strength test determines the weight and makes sure peak physical performance is achieved with each and every repetition in order to train explosive strength in the most effective manner possible.

The basic concept behind this form of training is to push the muscles beyond their actual performance limit, to the point of something known as “muscle failure”. The goal here is to achieve the highest possible muscle fatigue and the highest workout effect.
