How To Get Results At LWStrength

Are you ready to start seeing the results you're training so hard for? Take a look at these 4 steps to ensure you are set up for success at LWStrength!

1. Your Class Consistency

When training for results, aim to take 2-3 classes or more per week. Along with this baseline, adding in physical activity to your daily routine is a great idea. In total, 12 classes per month is a good spot to aim for. This number is automatically counted in your member app to help you keep track!

2. Challenge Yourself

Stepping foot in the studio is the toughest part, but that doesn't mean it is the only part. When training at the club, if you want to see results from your time, you must challenge yourself. There are many ways to do this, here are two examples:

• Increase your weights. A mindset many fall into is that to lift heavier weights, you must use the heavier weight for the same time and reps as you did the lighter ones. This is a recipe for injury or discouragement. Start slow. If you currently curl 8lb weights for 1 minute, and towards the end it gets challenging, you may feel steered away from trying 10lb weights. Don't be, instead, try the 10lb weights for half the time, and then switch back to your previous weight. This is one of the many ways you can increase your weights - and thus strength.

• Take a variety of classes. Overtime, you will find a set of classes that you enjoy the most. This is a good thing, but you may end up not giving others a fair chance, or flat out avoiding them. When training for results, you should try the classes that may not be on your top 5 list. Sometimes the classes that intimidate us the most, are the most important.

3. Book Your Quarterly Check-Ups

To keep your goals in focus, we offer quarterly member check-ups. These check-ups can focus on specific goals you currently have, new goals you've yet to create, an injury you'd like to address, and more. These check-ups serve as a way to get insight and direction, and we recommend them. When training for results, a clear path forward is key, these check-ups serve to show you that path.

4. Don't Forget About Nutrition

Your lifestyle and choices outside the studio are as important as inside. When training for, and expecting, results, you can not care about your fitness, but not nutrition. But to be clear, what does healthy nutrition even mean? For many, this would look like being able to enjoy meals they love, feeling satisfied after they have eaten, not being confined to a rigid and restrictive diet, and still having a well balanced nutritional lifestyle.

What it doesn’t mean is eating as little as possible or eating the same exact foods everyday and calling it healthy. If you feel you need to heavily restrict your eating to get results, let’s sit down and further discuss your goals. For more information on our health coaching, check out our health coaching page.
