Five Reasons to Add a Recovery Day to Your Week

Training breaks you down; recovery makes you stronger. Here is why one planned rest day beats five unplanned ones.

Progress happens between sessions, not during them. Adding one deliberate recovery day every week is the cheapest performance upgrade available to you.

1. Your muscles rebuild on rest days, not in the gym.
2. Planned rest keeps your joints and tendons healthy for the long run.
3. Sleep quality improves when you stop stacking hard sessions back to back.
4. Motivation returns — you will actually look forward to training again.
5. You avoid the injury that costs you six weeks instead of one day.

Use our recovery lounge: sauna, ice bath and a stretching area are included with every membership. Thirty minutes is enough.
