The Rehab Fit training program allows you to slowly and carefully return to your normal performance level. Training methods and intensity follow optimal periodization to ensure a successful return to your regular training program.

The Rehab Fit training program allows you to slowly and carefully return to your expected performance level. Training methods and intensity follow optimal periodization to ensure a safe and successful return to your regular training program.

This training program is aimed at complete newcomers or those whose current training goals are too intensive. Rehab Fit also works well for club members recovering from an injury or health issues that prevent ‘normal’ circuit training, as well as older clients who need a milder training regime.

EGYM+ specializes in the rapid realization of new, software-based products like Rehab Fit, which can be optimally integrated into existing club programs.

All EGYM+ machines currently used in clubs will soon automatically receive the Rehab Fit update overnight. This means you can constantly offer your clients new incentives to train on EGYM+ machines without extra effort or cost. These updates specifically target new groups of users, as the EGYM+ training system can provide solutions for every client’s needs. Members training with EGYM+ reach their goals faster and more reliably. This reduces member churn and contributes to the success of trainers and providers!

The Four Phases of the Rehab Fit Training Program

Phase 1: Mobilization (regular)

Mobilization
The first phase focuses on mobilization. Smooth training using the particularly mild regular training method improves mobility using low weight and moderate repetitions to enhance joint and muscle mobility. This phase is the first step toward being pain-free.

Phase 2: Activation (negative)

Activation
The second phase uses the negative training method. By increasing intensity in the eccentric or downward phase of a movement, the muscle can move the joints through a full range of motion in the concentric phase and increase muscle fiber activation through a greater load during the lengthening phase. This creates the optimal foundation for subsequent Strength Initiation training.

Phase 3: Strength Initiation (regular)

Initiating/strengthening the muscles
Here, the goal is to build and strengthen muscles through regular training with a higher training weight. Now that the muscles and joints have experienced small increases in range of motion and resistance, they are ready to handle a greater load and improve strength endurance. The muscles are stimulated more in this phase, leading to growth.

Phase 4: Full Function (explonic)

Increasing intensity
The final phase introduces explonic training. The focus is on regaining full function of the affected muscle and joint by including a power component in the program. Strength endurance (phase 3) is only part of the equation; now we must improve the muscle’s power and reaction time to handle larger and more intense loads. This phase provides optimal preparation for other training programs, such as the General Fitness Training program.

The four phases, each consisting of six training sessions, are designed to be completed in about three months. The EGYM+ Rehab Fit program is particularly suitable for those who want to carefully restart training after an injury. The isokinetic training method protects the joints and thus minimizes the risk of injury from overexertion.
