Why is FitFor’s EGYM strength system so unique?

One of the biggest problems gym-goers can face, after joining a gym, is retaining their motivation to continue training. This is often disrupted by a lack of clear understanding of how to set up machines and remember settings, which can delay a workout, rendering your training sessions inefficient and scuppering those all important goals.

We asked a range of FitFor clients what they think about our EGYM strength machines and how their workouts have changed as a result.

What do you like about EGYM?

“I love that the EGYM equipment remembers you - your proportions, your strength, your settings, your age, what weight you did last time - and even your name , it records your achievements and it progresses you through regular strength tests.” Tania, member since 2023

“What I love most about EGYM is how effortless it makes strength training. The machines are smart, everything is personalised, and I don’t have to waste time or worry about whether I am doing something correctly. I genuinely look forward to using the equipment, which isn’t something I’d ever really felt before with strength workouts.” Katie, member since 2024

How does EGYM compare to other strength machines/equipment?

“It feels safer and clearer and it’s so much easier because you don’t have to remember what you did last time, your settings automatically come up from your last workout.” Richard, member since 2024

“They’re flexible but I would worry about my form using other strength machines. With EGYM, I feel guided and supported, it just feels easier to get it right.” Anna, Member since 2022

How easy are EGYM machines to set up?

“Super easy - totally carries the load once you’re set up for the first time.” Claire, member since 2019

“It’s incredibly easy. The first time, a staff member helps set everything to fit you perfectly. After that, you just tap in with your wristband and each EGYM machine adjusts itself to your settings, seat position, range of motion, everything. For someone who used to feel awkward setting up equipment, this was a game-changer.” Sandra, member since 2022

How long does it take to carry out your workout and complete your exercises – how much time do you save?

“The equipment adjusts in seconds and the flow from set to set across the machines means you can do a quick efficient full body workout in just 15 mins” Stuart, Member since 2019

“Not having to adjust machines manually saves a few minutes per station, which really saves you a lot of time over a full session.” Anna, Member since 2024

No need to remember settings - How much does that mean to you?

“The fact you can chat to a friend or listen to a podcast without having to remember 15 different settings and do a great workout is HUGE” Kasia, Member since 2018

“It makes a huge difference. The fact that EGYM remembers all my settings, including weights, set up positioning and progress, means I don’t have to think or second-guess anything. It keeps me consistent.” Robert, Member since 2025

Range of different exercise types – how much diversity does this bring to your workout?

“It makes a fast full body workout feel very achievable.” Sandra, Member since 2022

“Yes, definitely. There are structured programmes you can follow, which is helpful when you want guidance, but there’s also the flexibility to create your own routine. I like having that mix, allowing me to adapt depending on my mood or goals.” Sophie, Member since 2023

How does the resistance feel compared to other types of resistance machines?

“I like that you can change and use different types of resistance (including regular resistance - the same resistance forward and back - or the negative setting - which increases the force on the eccentric phase) and keep progressing based on strength tests - I feel like that means the resistance is usually optimal and smart.” Emma, Member since 2018

It feels very smooth and just as effective as other resistance machines. I don’t feel like I was missing out on anything, if anything, the resistance felt more controlled and consistent.” Dan, member since 2023

Do you get a better workout or is it the same?

“I always feel confident I’ve had an effective workout with EGYM.” Isobel, Member since 2024

“Yes, I do. Because I’m not wasting time setting things up or figuring out what to do, and I know it’s tailored to me, which makes it more effective overall.” Caleb, Member since 2025

Overall gym experience – how does EGYM improve it?

“I love the gym experience for lots of different reasons - EGYM improves the experience by delivering a super accessible and flexible approach to strength training that’s suitable for both an absolute beginner, and someone who’s confident and experienced with weight training” Clare, Member since 2018

“Before EGYM, I often avoided strength training because I wasn’t confident with the equipment or I was unsure of what to do. EGYM completely changed that, it removed the guesswork, made everything easy to use, and gave me a clear plan to follow. It turned something I used to find intimidating into something I actually enjoyed. I felt more in control and more motivated” Katya, member since 2022
