It’s a simple way to get an idea of how active you have been recently. This feature will work with any connected apps and wearables, workouts recorded using the xCapture feature, manually tracked workouts, and EGYM Smart Strength connected equipment.

ANALYSIS TAB
BIOAGE
If you are familiar with the EGYM app then you will recognize these features. However, they can now be used outside of EGYM for the benefit of all GSCY members!
What is a BioAge? BioAge is a comprehensive fitness and health indicator that combines a wide range of measurements into an easy-to-understand age that can be compared to your physical age.
In the GSCY Mobile app, BioAge is determined through various measurements within the following analysis categories: Strength, Cardiovascular, and Metabolism. To calculate your BioAge, this measurement data can be entered in manually (or automatically though our connected EGYM Smart Strength equipment offered at Somerset Hills YMCA).
