What is the EGYM Fitness Hub?

All you need to know

At Places Leisure, we believe in making fitness feel personal, accessible, and sustainable - whether you’re just starting out, getting back into a routine, or looking to take your training to the next level. That’s why we’ve introduced the EGYM Fitness Hub across many of our centres as part of our Activate and Focus programme.

The EGYM Fitness Hub brings together smart technology and personalised support to give you a clearer picture of your fitness, right from day one.

What is the EGYM Fitness Hub?

The EGYM Fitness Hub is an intuitive, self-guided assessment station designed to help you understand where you are now - and how to move forward. In just a couple of minutes, it can take key fitness measurements including strength, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, and metabolic health.

Using advanced camera and sensor technology, it gives you an accurate and objective overview of your current fitness levels. It’s simple, safe, and fully automated.

What is BioAge?

One of the most motivating features of the EGYM Fitness Hub is your BioAge. This is a unique number based on how your body performs across several key areas: strength, cardio, metabolism, and flexibility. It’s not just a score - it’s a meaningful, easy-to-understand way to track your progress over time.

For example, if you’re 45 but your BioAge comes out as 42, that means you’re performing like a typical 42-year-old across those areas. Over time, as you train and improve, your BioAge will shift - giving you a tangible way to measure your progress and celebrate your achievements.

Personalised and connected training

Once your assessment is complete, your results can be used to build a tailored programme that suits your goals. If you're using our Smart Strength or Smart Flex equipment*, your settings (like seat height and resistance) are automatically configured for you based on your measurements - saving time and ensuring you're working at the right level.

Everything is tracked in the Places Leisure app, so you can keep an eye on your progress between sessions. You can even connect your own wearable tech - like a fitness tracker or smartwatch - to bring all your health data together in one place.

How it fits into the Activate and Focus programme

The EGYM Fitness Hub is part of our Activate and Focus programme, which is free with Premium membership. Here’s how it works:

  1. Activate session - Booked at the start of your journey, this session includes your first full assessment on the EGYM Fitness Hub. You’ll sit down with one of our fitness team to review your results and set goals.
  2. Focus sessions - These are regular, follow-up sessions where we’ll check in on your progress, update your plan, and repeat your assessment to see how your BioAge is changing.

Between sessions, you can continue using the Hub independently and follow your programme with confidence.

Why it matters

The EGYM Fitness Hub makes personalised training more accessible, measurable, and motivating. Whether you’re focusing on flexibility, building strength, or improving your cardiovascular fitness, the Hub ensures you have the insights and support to do it in a way that suits your body and your lifestyle.

It’s designed to take the guesswork out of your workouts - so you can spend less time figuring things out and more time moving toward your goals.

EGYM Fitness Hub FAQs

What is the EGYM bracelet for?

The EGYM bracelet is a lightweight wearable device used across EGYM’s smart strength training systems, including the Fitness Hub.

Small but mighty, the bracelet logs you into the system and automatically adjusts the equipment to suit your strength, workout preferences, body, and fitness goals. It also tracks your performance, logging your progress and allowing you to view your results in the Places Leisure app.

How often should you use the EGYM Fitness Hub?

When you start, you’ll have a one-off Activate session to introduce you to the Fitness Hub. As part of our Activate and Focus programme, you can then book Focus sessions as often as you like — these are designed to check in on your progress and adjust your plan as needed.

Outside of these sessions, how and when you use the Fitness Hub is entirely up to you. Our fitness team is there to support you in a way that fits your body, lifestyle, and goals — even if they’re not always on the gym floor.

How does the EGYM Fitness Hub work for beginners?

The EGYM Fitness Hub and our Activate and Focus programme are designed for all fitness levels — including beginners.

Your Activate session offers a helpful introduction to the Hub and its capabilities. In a one-to-one session, a member of our fitness team will guide you through short assessments that measure biometric data (like flexibility and range of movement), assess your current ability, and create a personalised workout programme based on your results.

Whether you're just starting out or already super fit, the Hub adapts to you — offering a tailored plan that evolves with your progress.
