Are your workouts starting to feel stale? With most of us out of our normal routines, finding the internal motivation can be difficult when it comes to fitness. We want to help you get back into the groove, so we have partnered with Sony® to bring you Advagym™.
Advagym is more than a fitness app. It’s a platform that gives you access to workout content so you can keep working towards your fitness goals no matter where you are. And the best part? It doesn't matter if you're a regular gym goer, personal trainer, or gym owner. Everyone can benefit from Advagym.
See how Advagym can make a difference in your life!
In-Facility Workouts
One of the hardest parts about seeing the progress you want is finding a routine the works with your busy schedule. But with Advagym, you are connected inside and outside of the gym. When you’re in the facility, it unlocks the strength floor. Wireless sensors called “pucks” are positioned on equipment and throughout training zones, allowing you to follow your programme, track exercises, and watch instructional videos throughout the facility. Precor has loaded Advagym with an in-depth exercise library to support the pucks, so using Advagym will help you try new workouts, expand your training experience, and sharpen your form.
You can follow custom training programmes that you have built for yourself, workouts that your fitness facility has built, and even get content directly from a personal trainer. All you need to do is find the programme you want to follow, tap the pucks, and go!
At-Home Workouts
These workouts are curated by the world-class team of Precor Master Coaches and you have access to more than 50 workout programmes to choose from. Each workout is approximately 20 minutes in length, and you have the option to cast full-length workouts to a TV (see instructions below) or follow the workouts on your phone. And just like the classes you choose from at your gym, these workouts cover a range of fitness goals – there is a programme for everyone! Choose from:
- Restore: Recover, regenerate, relax! This programme includes self-massage, dynamic movements, stretching, and guided meditation to help reset your day.
- Lean: Feel the energy with 20 minutes of strength and cardio to stay lean and strong at home.
- Ignite: Jump in to 20 minutes of HIIT (high intensity interval training) workouts designed to boost your caloric burn during and long after your workout.
- Play: Get moving with these family workouts full of games and fun for people of all ages.
- Compete: Boost your competitive side with Intense metabolic conditioning workouts designed to challenge you to push your limits and beat your personal bests.
Connect with a Personal Trainer
With Advagym you can connect with a personal trainer from anywhere: the gym, your home, vacation, the list goes on! Trainers can create custom programmes just for you and share them straight to your mobile phone, no matter where you are. Trainers also can send you personal feedback via the app to ensure you are working towards your fitness goals in the best way possible. Plus, they will help keep you motivated!
Track Your Progress
Advagym not only delivers you fitness content, but it gives you the ability to track your workout to ensure you are progressing and pushing past limits.
No matter where you are completing a workout from, you will have the ability to track your workouts. If you are in the facility, simply tap the pucks as you progress through the workout programme. Your reps and sets are logged and saved automatically. If you are completing one of the at-home workout programme options, you can also manually enter in all your workout data throughout or after your workout.
The Advagym app will also show your workout history, helping you get the most out of your workouts each time, improve your results, and stay motivated to push on towards new, higher goals.
