5 Ways To Maximize Your Workout During A Busy Gym Time

1. Use The Track

Can’t get on a treadmill? Head upstairs to the track! You can use the track for your actual run or just as way to warm up. Grab a buddy and try some sprints or interval work to mix it up!

You can find the hours here so that you’re able to plan accordingly!

2. Use Body Weight Resistance

Dumbbells all taken? No worries! Using your own body weight can prove effective for strength and stability. Things like push-ups, lunges, and walking planks are great ways to challenge yourself. You can even record how many of each exercise you get done in a minute and re-test yourself every 4-6 weeks.

3. Talk To a Personal Trainer About Alternatives

You see them all the time, our friendly trainers! They’re here to help. Want an exercise that targets a certain muscle but can’t use your usual equipment? Ask them and they can provide you with an alternative! Interested in training with one of them? Check out their bios here!

4. Join Us In The AM!

Typically our busiest time is at night, from about 4:30 onward, so a morning sweat session could be for you! 

You’ll have even more space with the fitness studio being empty most days until 11:30am.

5. Be Prepared With Options!

Be prepared to wait for equipment. If yours isn't available, perhaps have a few alternate ideas of what you can do instead. Or you can always work in with someone. This could also be a great way to meet a gym buddy!

Don’t let the crowds discourage you, stay dedicated, and stay awesome!
