Your first week at the gym, day by day

A free week goes fast. Here is how we would spend it if we were new.

A simple plan

1. Monday: Full Circuit. Friendly, fast and a good feel for the room.
2. Tuesday: Foundations, to learn the big lifts with a small group.
3. Wednesday: Rest, or a walk.
4. Thursday: Glove Up. Even if you have never boxed.
5. Saturday: Reset, to loosen everything up.

About being sore

Some stiffness a day or two after a new class is normal. It fades as you keep coming. Tell your coach if anything feels sharp or wrong.

For early classes

A banana or a slice of toast twenty minutes before is plenty. Bring water.
