Share Smart Strength: One System. Two Concepts.
Strength training has entered a new era of personalization. Today, members expect their workouts to keep pace with their lives. For some, that means a quick, effective session with guided structure; for others, it’s about the freedom to chase high-performance goals.
Because fitness journeys are rarely a straight line, members naturally move between needing guidance and wanting independence. This fluid approach is the new normal, and it requires a gym floor that is as flexible as the people using it.
EGYM meets this demand with a system that adapts to the individual, rather than making them adapt to the gym. It offers two floor concepts: EGYM Circuit and EGYM Pro, both ready to support every member’s strength training journey using the same Smart Strength technology.
EGYM Circuit and EGYM Pro work together
Most gyms have a "fragmented" floor, so if a member moves from a circuit to the free weights, their data stops following them.
With EGYM, progress carries forward. Because both Circuit and Pro are part of the same system, they are perfectly in sync:
- Logical progression: Members can begin with structured, guided training in the EGYM Circuit, then choose autonomous open training with EGYM Pro, no new onboarding required.
- Hybrid journeys: Members don't have to pick a side. They can jump on the Circuit for a time-efficient full-body blast one day and use EGYM Pro for specific performance goals on another.
- Seamless tracking: Whether a member is in a "structure" phase or a "freedom" phase, their progress is tracked in one central place.
EGYM Circuit and EGYM Pro: Strategic advantage for operators
Choosing between Circuit and Pro isn't an "either/or" decision. It’s about building a floor that supports today's strength training mindset.
By offering both, you eliminate the friction that causes members to drop out. You provide a clear pathway for growth, from the confidence of a guided circuit to the performance of open training. And because it’s EGYM Smart Strength: the workouts are always fully personalized.
Strength for everyone!

Learn moreHow EGYM Circuit works
Built for confidence, clarity, and consistency, Circuit training removes the decision load, and is perfect for members who want strength training to feel approachable, effective and time-efficient without the guesswork.
In our Circuit floor concept, the machines are synchronized, and members work out accordingly in the circuit. All members need a one-time onboarding to set up the automatic machine settings. After that, they can easily log into the machines with an RFID band (or, on the new Smart Strength Series 3, they can log in with NFC via mobile phone or smart watch) and start working out, guided by our smart training programs and the EGYM Curve. A Circuit workout takes less than 30 minutes.
How EGYM Pro works
Built for autonomy, performance, and progression, EGYM Pro brings intelligence into open strength training — without taking away control. It combines the freedom of an open floor with smart tracking and personalized strength programs tailored to individual goals.
Unlike synchronized circuit training, EGYM Pro follows a free training logic. Machines can be used in any order, allowing members to decide what to train, how intensely, and in what sequence — just like in a traditional gym environment. The difference: every movement is supported by Smart Strength technology.
Workout styles are flexible, too:
- Keep it simple with Quickstart
- Members adjust their seat, select their weight, and begin within seconds. There is no mandatory onboarding or unnecessary complexity, providing immediate access to advanced strength training.
- Flexible training with Individual Mode
- EGYM Pro enables members to define their own weight, reps, and intensity in Individual mode.
- The system enhances each set with real-time feedback and intelligent resistance adjustments, including advanced methods like Explonic or Max Out.
- Every repetition is automatically tracked, ensuring that gaining freedom never means losing progress.
- Structured guidance with Auto Mode
- On days when more structure is preferred, Auto mode provides guided training within the open floor.
- Smart programs, the EGYM Curve, and AI-powered progression through Genius deliver clear direction without locking members into a traditional circuit flow.
What truly differentiates EGYM Pro is the ability to deliver advanced, science-based training methods that are difficult to replicate with traditional equipment. Eccentric overload, adaptive resistance, explosive strength training, and performance-focused sessions create stronger training stimuli while maintaining safety and control. The technology acts like a digital spotter — supporting intensity, stabilizing execution, and making progress measurable.
Every workout is logged within the EGYM Ecosystem and connected to Genius and the member app. And because EGYM Pro works within the Smart Strength system, progress carries forward no matter how the member works out.
The most successful gyms no longer force members into one way of training. They provide a system that adapts to different mindsets, goals, and phases.
EGYM Circuit and EGYM Pro deliver exactly that:
- Two complementary ways to train
- One intelligent ecosystem
- Progress that carries forward
By supporting both structure and freedom within the same system, you remove friction, increase retention, and give every member a reason to stay.
