Rest and recovery is different from person to person, especially at our gym where we have members coming in 5-6 times per week to members coming in 1-2 times per week. We always recommend having at least 1-2 days off per week to recharge and it is always great to be back at the gym after a day off.
We try to make every session worth wild for all of our members which means that if you are coming in 5-6 times per week you will most likely need to change up a couple of things to make sure you don’t overtrain. Luckily for those members the coach is there to monitor their training and it is easy for us to modify the session to keep them improving and staying healthy.
For new members we recommend training 3 days per week to start with. Then bump it up to training 4 days per week but no more than two sessions back to back. Then as you get more comfortable with the volume you can bump it up again to: 3 days on – 1 day off – 2 days on – 1 day off.
If you are only training 1-3 times per week you can safely participate in all aspects of each session you join in on. We can always scale or modify the session to your needs and fitness level.
If you train 5-6 times per week there could be a session or two in there which will look like daunting tasks if you have already had a big week of training. If that happens you need to be honest with yourself and scale things appropriately to make sure you stay healthy and you still get a good training session done.
As always what is on the white board is not set in stone, it can be changed to suit and most of the time it is. That is one of the main reasons why you would join SPC in the first place.
