Australia’s First EGYM Site Launches

2025 marked an exciting milestone for health and fitness in Australia, with the launch of the country’s first EGYM site at The Vitality Village on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. This cutting-edge installation, a collaboration between NovoFit and Comlink Australia, represents a significant step forward in redefining what it means to age well.

What is EGYM?

EGYM is a globally renowned fitness solution designed to simplify strength training through innovative, user-friendly gym equipment. Each machine is connected to a central fitness hub that tracks and personalises each user’s workout. The fitness technology integrates strength assessments into the machines, automatically calibrating settings like resistance, range of motion, and pace to suit each individual.

This seamless process removes the need for manual adjustments, making EGYM accessible and approachable for users of all ages and fitness levels. After every sixth session, users are re-tested to track progress, ensuring workouts remain challenging and aligned with their evolving fitness needs.

A Game-Changer for the Ageing Population

At the heart of the EGYM installation at The Vitality Village is a mission to improve quality of life for Australia’s ageing population. With eight EGYM machines and a central fitness hub, the Vitality Movement Centre is equipped to address key biomarkers of healthy ageing, such as reaction time, grip strength, muscle strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health.

Comlink Australia COO, Dirk Britz, explains why EGYM is so well suited to older adults:
“Our clientele often struggle with everyday tasks like hanging laundry, getting in and out of cars, or lifting grandchildren. EGYM provides an adaptive strength training solution that builds functional capacity while being safe and simple to use. By incorporating automated strength tests and data tracking, EGYM takes the guesswork out of exercise and helps users stay consistent and motivated.”

EGYM’s precision and adaptability also make it ideal for addressing osteoporosis, improving balance, and reducing the risk of falls, all of which are critical factors in maintaining independence for older adults.

Vitality Movement Centre: A Hub for Healthy Ageing

The Vitality Movement Centre at The Vitality Village goes beyond providing access to EGYM. It is a research-driven facility equipped with world-class assessment tools and programs designed by exercise physiologists and human movement scientists. From fall prevention initiatives to tailored fitness programs, the Centre empowers individuals to take control of their health and age well.

A Milestone in Fitness Technology in Australia

NovoFit is proud to partner with Comlink Australia on this groundbreaking project. The installation underscores EGYM’s global reputation for innovation while supporting Comlink’s vision of delivering exceptional client experiences and enabling independence through movement.

Thank you to Liam Mayo, Dirk Britz, and the entire Comlink Australia team for trusting NovoFit to bring this vision to life. Together, we’re redefining healthy ageing and fitness equipment in Australia - one movement at a time.
