A beginner’s guide to your first week in the gym
What to do, what to skip and how to get comfortable on the floor from day one.
Keep the first week simple
You do not need a perfect plan. You need to turn up three times, learn a few movements well and leave feeling like you could do it again tomorrow.
Your first three sessions
Start with movements you can do with confidence and add weight slowly.
- Session one: a tour, warm-up and bodyweight basics
- Session two: a full-body workout with a coach
- Session three: a class you have never tried
Ask for help
Every coach on the floor has been the new person. Ask how to set up a machine, how heavy to go or where to start. It is part of the job, and we like being asked.
