How effective is the program?

The effect depends on how long you join the program, how hard you work out and how you eat. The more you commit, the more likely you are to get the results you want.

How often should I train?

The level of training varies between individuals. If you are moderate to high in fitness level, it is recommended you do two to three sessions per day. It is important you recover and rest between sessions. If, however, you are new to training we recommend a slow and easy start with one class per day, plus a soft cardio session in the gym. After a few days we recommend you add one more class to the training routine. Get in touch for the best recommended training routine for you.
