Getting Started with FXGYM: A Guide for Clubs

FXGYM helps clubs offer guided workouts through screens in the gym. Whether you use it for trainer-led classes or independent member workouts, these steps will help you get started.

1. Choose how to use FXGYM

FXGYM can support different training environments:

Trainer-led workouts: Trainers use FXGYM to display exercises, timers and workout instructions while focusing on coaching members. FXGYM Multiscreen is particularly suitable for group and circuit training.

Independent workouts: Members can select workouts directly from an FXGYM touchscreen and follow the on-screen instructions.

Many clubs combine both approaches.

Choose the right setup and workout format

The best setup depends on how your members train and how you want to display the exercises.

FXGYM touchscreen: Members select workouts directly on the touchscreen. Ideal for independent training.
Boutique: Participants follow the same workout flow together. Suitable for guided group sessions.
Circuit: Participants rotate between stations with structured exercises and work/rest intervals.

Both Boutique and Circuit formats can be used with regular workouts and Multiscreen setups.

Good to know: Regular workouts can also be played on FXGYM Multiscreen. For example, on an MSS3 setup, the same workout can be displayed on all three screens.

Good to know: Standard workouts can also be played on FXGYM Multiscreen. For example, on an MSS3 setup, the same workout is displayed on all three screens.

2. Prepare your training area

Make sure the screens are clearly visible and members have enough space to exercise safely.

For Multiscreen setups, position the control tablet where trainers can easily operate it while supervising the group.

3. Organise your workout content

Use FXPLATFORM to create and manage your workouts.

Start with a selection that matches your club's equipment and training goals.
Give workouts clear names, suitable difficulty levels and descriptions.
Assign someone to manage and regularly review the available content.

4. Test your first workout

Before introducing FXGYM to members:

Select and start a workout.
Check that exercises and timers display correctly.
Verify the exercise order, equipment and transitions.
For Multiscreen, check that the correct content appears on each screen.

5. Introduce FXGYM to your members

Show members how to find, select and start workouts.

For trainer-led sessions, introduce FXGYM during a group class. For independent workouts, consider placing simple instructions near the touchscreen.

You can also schedule workouts at specific times throughout the day.

Tip: When scheduling workouts, allow sufficient time between sessions to avoid overlapping workouts.
