Has anyone used the E-gym Strength-Training System?

Posted by bethieb @bethieb, 23 hours ago

I've been using the e-gym strength training system and wonder if anyone else has had experience with it? Our local YMCA has installed it and it's very popular. I login on each machine with a wristband and it adjusts to my size and strength. Periodically, I do a strength test and weights adjust up or down accordingly. My question is whether it's as beneficial as regular machines (probably, maybe better) or dumbbells on one's own?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

What are you trying to achieve? Is it bone building? Perhaps you could share a bit more info with us.

This is very interesting an e-gym from YMCA. Do they have one just for exercise to help you be healthy?

@worley725 Yes, strength training and muscle building like other workout machines. Not cardio like treadmill or bicycle.
