The cutting-edge approach behind the EGYM Lose Weight Training Program moves away from traditional, purely endurance-based training. Instead, it combines strength and cardio within a holistic regimen using high-performance gym equipment, helping you achieve lasting weight loss.

Everyone knows that losing weight requires a healthy diet, but that is rarely enough on its own. If you want to drop weight and keep it off, changing your daily habits is essential. From a physiological standpoint, long-term weight loss comes down to a simple energy deficit. Your body weight is always determined by a complex mix of:

• Nutrition (calorie intake)
• Exercise and daily activity (energy burnt)
• Your individual metabolism (basal metabolic rate)

While eating well is vital, the way you train is just as crucial. This article breaks down our strength training system, designed specifically to help you shed pounds.

The two physiological keys to fat loss:

• Maximizing calorie burn during workouts: Moving more and keeping your heart rate up boosts immediate calorie burn. High-intensity strength training also elevates your metabolism for hours after you finish, as your body works to restore homeostasis (Paoli et al., 2012).
• Boosting your resting metabolic rate for the long run: Building muscle raises your basal metabolic rate. That means you burn more calories even when you are resting, sleeping, or sitting at your desk (Westcott, 2012). Better cardio fitness also increases mitochondrial density, which improves your body’s ability to use fat as fuel.

Traditional workout plans address these goals with separate cardio and resistance sessions. At EGYM, we take a smarter approach by combining both into a single circuit.

This delivers simultaneous gains in strength and endurance, making it ideal for slimming down. It reshapes your body composition by balancing metabolic stress (fat loss) with mechanical tension (muscle retention).

We split our EGYM programs into distinct phases to deliver the right training stimulus at just the right time (periodization). Every phase starts with a strength assessment so we can continually adapt the weights to match your progress.
