Training Tips for Vaud Gym Members
A few practical moves go a long way at any Vaud gym. Show up mid-morning or early afternoon on a weekday and you will rarely queue for kit. Write your workouts down, even roughly, because the numbers reveal progress your memory misses. Warm up gently, cool down properly, and stretch what you trained. New to resistance work? Ask for the free induction session most gyms offer.
Nutrition does as much heavy lifting as the training itself. Aim for enough protein to repair muscle, roughly 1.6 grams per kilogram of bodyweight a day, and keep your water topped up before and after sessions so energy stays steady.
