How Often Should I Train?

For most people, 3–4 sessions per week allow sufficient recovery for optimal training. Listen to your body to avoid overtraining, as recovery is crucial to progress.


Pre-Workout Nutrition

Fuel up with a balanced meal 2–3 hours before your workout or a light snack 1–2 hours prior. Examples include fruit or energy bars that provide quick, easy-to-digest carbs. Avoid heavy meals as they might affect your performance during exercises like burpees.


BEATpoints: Tracking Your Fitness Journey

Earn BEATpoints to measure your workout performance and track progress:

  • Sweat Points: Awarded based on the time spent in various heart rate zones.

  • Recovery Points: Earned based on how quickly your heart rate drops post-workout.

Your BEATpoints are the sum of Sweat and Recovery Points, offering a comprehensive view of your fitness improvements.


Pregnancy, Recovery, and Injuries

Pregnancy and BEAT81 Workouts

Exercising during pregnancy can be beneficial, but always consult your doctor first. If approved, notify your coach before class to tailor exercises to your needs.

Returning After Having a Baby

After receiving doctor approval, you’re welcome to join classes again. Let your coach know before class so they can modify exercises as needed.

Injuries or Physical Issues

Consult your doctor about exercising with injuries. If approved, inform your coach, who can adjust movements to suit your condition. Training is at your own risk, so listen to your body.
