Starting a gym workout or stepping up your workout can be easier when you choose a prep program that's right for you. But which program would be best for you? Here we go over what to consider when choosing a gym program and how to reach your goals.

1. Define Your Goal

The first thing is to define what you want to achieve. Is your goal to increase muscle mass, burn fat, increase strength, or improve overall fitness? Different programs are designed to support different goals, so choose a program that meets your goals.

2. Assess Your Baseline

Your entry level will significantly influence the choice of program. A beginner should choose a program that focuses on basic movements and provides a clear roadmap. For more experienced trainers, there are more challenging and varied programs that move the training forward.

3. Program Duration and Commitment

Think about how much time you are willing to commit to the program each week. Most of our programs last 6 to 12 weeks and include 3 to 6 workouts per week. Choose a program that realistically fits your schedule and that you can run until the end. Our program selection also includes programs designed for busy schedules and hectic lives.

4. Gym Equipment

Take care that the gym where you work out is well equipped so that you can complete all the movements of the program. A well-equipped gym ensures that you get the most out of your programs. Movements can always be varied if necessary, and our programs have alternative movements ready for certain movements if equipment or equipment is not available.

5. Program Progressivity

A good preparation program includes progressiveness, which means that the workout will intensify as the weeks progress, by increasing, for example, weights, number of repetitions or intensity. This is essential for development, so make sure that the program you choose has a clear roadmap.

Selection of a ready-made food program

Diet is a major factor in supporting your workout and achieving your goals. Our food programs are diverse, including a variety of options, and are designed to optimally support your goals. When choosing a food program, it is worth considering:

  • Objectives: Is the goal to lose weight, increase muscle mass or overall well-being?
  • Calorie requirement: The food program should support energy intake and consumption in relation to your goals.
  • Versatility and flexibility: It is good for the program to provide options to keep the diet varied and interesting.
  • Nutrient balance: A healthy diet contains the right proportion of protein, carbohydrates and fats.

We have food programs only and combination programs that include both a food program and a training program. Combination programs ensure that the diet supports your training and helps you reach your goals optimally.

Personal Online Coaching — Alternative to Preparatory Program

If you want more personal support, online coaching can be an excellent option. You will receive a training program and a food program tailored to your goals and needs. Your coach will be there to give you tips, support you and keep you motivated throughout the journey.

What To Do When The Program Is Completed?

After completing the program, it is important to evaluate your development and plan the following steps:

  • Assess your progress: Have you reached your goal or do you still need more development?
  • Choose a graduate program: You can choose a new program that focuses on different areas or continue working on the same program.
  • Allow time for recovery: Remember that the body needs rest before starting a new program.
