EVESHAM LEISURE CENTRE’S NEW SMART GYM EQUIPMENT LANDS THIS AUGUST

In case you haven’t heard, some big changes are coming to Evesham Leisure Centre. The gym is currently being refurbished and is set to reopen on the weekend of 23rd and 24th August.  One of the biggest upgrades is the introduction of EGYM Smart Strength equipment.

This new kit makes strength training personalised and fully trackable. If you’re brand new to the gym or have been training for years, the new setup will help you to get more out of your workouts and will fully engage with your fitness journey.

What is EGYM Smart Strength?

EGYM is a range of strength machines that are fully digital and adjust to your body automatically. Once you’re set up with a wristband or login on the EGYM fitness hub all you have to do is tap in, and each piece of equipment will then adjust the settings (weight, set position, range of motion) to match your needs.

The equipment includes everything you’d expect in a strength training circuit – Leg Press, Chest Press, Lat Pull, Rotary Torso, Shoulder Press and more, covering all the major muscle groups.

You can either:

·        Follow a guided circuit, designed to give you a full body workout in as little as 20 minutes.

·        Or choose open training, which gives you more flexibility and options for specific training needs, such as strength building or rehab.

Key Features:

·        Auto setup – Machines automatically adjust when you log in.

·        On screen guidance – Tells you how fast to move, how far to go and when to stop.

·        Progress tracking – All workouts are saved to your profile so you can see improvements over time.

·        Flexible modes – Choose between guided circuits or more advanced training depending on your goals.

It’s simple to use and means you don’t have to worry about adjusting things manually. It’s ideal for people who want a straightforward workout that still delivers results.

Why it’s a good thing for members

This new kit is designed to help people train smarter, not just harder. Here’s what that means in practice:

·        No guesswork – Your exercises are automatically set up for you delivering a seamless, personalised workout experience.

·        Quick & effective – You can get a full body strength circuit done in as little as 20 mins.

·        Beginner friendly – Once you have checked in at the EGYM fitness hub, equipment and your workout requirements will be automatically set up to meet your requirements.

·        Safe and consistent – with digital resistance designed to adapt effortlessly to every user’s needs.

·        Fully Trackable results – You can see your progress in strength, mobility, flexibility, endurance and even track your biological fitness age.

It’s a really exciting upgrade for our regular gym users and for those who just want to feel more confident using the strength equipment in the gym.

Support and setup

When the gym reopens, there will be plenty of support available to help people get started. You’ll be able to book an onboarding session with a staff member, where they’ll help set up your profile, on the EGYM fitness hub, explain how it all works and show you how to get the most from your training.

Once that’s done, using the equipment is quick and easy. Just tap your wristband or login each time and the machine will remember your settings.

A big upgrade for the gym

The new equipment is part of a wider gym refurbishment at Evesham Leisure Centre, which includes an improved gym layout, functional training areas and an updated design. The aim is to make the space more welcoming, easier to get around and more functional for all.

This upgrade also puts Evesham on the map as one of the first leisure centres in the area to bring in smart gym tech like this.

“It’s not just about having new equipment,” says Rachel Cartwright, Health & Wellness Manager at Rivers Fitness. “It’s about making the gym more accessible and helping members and users train in a way that suits them. We’re excited to bring this to Evesham and can’t wait for people to try it.”

Come and take a look

The new gym will reopen on the weekend of 23rd and 24th August, with an open day and "bring a friend" event scheduled for bank holiday Monday 25th August. We’ll be running tours and short demos so you can see the new space and test the equipment out for yourself. There will also be some launch day promotions & offers.
