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.

Negative training is a very common method used in weight training and bodybuilding in order to provide additional stimulus to muscles. It is an efficient way to make the muscles work harder and thus efficiently cause an increase in muscle cross-section and improved tendon and muscle load capacity. Physiotherapists use it in rehabilitation. A very low intensity is used here to encourage the first energetic movements to be made again after injuries. If you are not using EGYM Smart Strength equipment for working out, a partner or therapist is usually required for this method.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, many industries are undergoing substantial digital transformations. From e-commerce to healthcare, the majority of companies are reaping the benefits of continually improving technologies.
The fitness industry is one of the later bloomers. Historically, it has focused on highly personalized face-to-face interactions, leaving technologies to wait in line. Meanwhile, gym-goers and health-seekers dig deeper into what digitalization has to offer, expecting the service providers to do the same.

Already in 2016, the number of mobile users surpassed that of desktop users. Now, years later, that society has moved towards an unequivocally mobile-oriented world, it has become a game of survival of sorts for entrepreneurs who have to either go mobile or go home.
As a gym owner or fitness trainer, you may already know that more people are using their mobile devices, but you may not know how they are using them. According to research, 60 percent of mobile device users favor mobile apps over websites to shop for products and services online.
If these statistics are anything to go by, then we can agree that owning a mobile app is highly beneficial to your business, perhaps even more than setting up a website. The last thing that you, as a manager or entrepreneur, want is to bid your members adios as they ditch your mobile-friendly website and migrate to the highly-preferred fitness apps.

Growing and expanding any business results from the continuous effort that happens over the lifetime of the business. This fact is no different for fitness and health facilities that need to find innovative ways to retain existing members and attract potential new ones. Digitizing your operations by providing a platform to engage your clients, provide tips, and market yourself or picking management software are steps in the right direction. Yet, in taking these steps, it's vital to identify the aspects of a technological platform, an app, or software that meets your growing business's needs. Scalability ensures that you can expand and contract your operations as needed. Let's take a closer look at the scale in software and why you need it for your brand.

The journey of building and running a fitness or health enterprise varies greatly, but three steps are common to most, if not all journeys. First is to open the first facility, buy some essential equipment, and run it. As time goes by, technology and software start being thrown around in circles and eventually catch the manager’s or owner's attention.
At this point, most give technology a try, and before you know it, there are software systems all over the place. A website here, a blog there, and a fitness app somewhere in between, you get the drill.
Given the benefits of fitness technology, getting this far is not easy and should be lauded. Many consider gyms that embrace technology to be at their mature stages. But is there an extra mile? There is a third step that many managers and owners may overlook, and very few people shed light upon it. This is software integration.
