Activate
In your first hour-long, one-to-one session, our team will take you through some short assessments using our EGYM Fitness Hub and some of the gym equipment. This will provide you with your results, which include biometrics such as flexibility and strength, in the form of a ‘BioAge’ - an easy-to-understand snapshot of where you’re starting from in your fitness journey. This will give you a solid foundation to track your progress.
Focus
In your one-to-one Focus session, our Fitness Instructor will check-in to see how you are getting on with your current plan and gain feedback on what you’re enjoying, how your programme is fitting in with your day-to-day lifestyle and what you might want to add to your routine to keep your workouts fresh.
