Are You Over Training 🚨

As many of our regular clients know, training hard is key to progress — but too much can actually hold you back. Overtraining happens when your body doesn’t get enough time to recover between workouts. This can affect performance, energy, and even long-term health.

For years, I was constantly snappy, tired, and struggling with sleep. I blamed it all on my ex (a wild Colombian 😅), but eventually realized the real culprit was overtraining.

We’ve put together some common signs to look out for, along with practical tips to keep you training smart.

⚠️ Symptoms of Overtraining:

Constant fatigue or lack of energy

Decreased performance despite consistent effort

Trouble sleeping or restless nights

Increased irritability, mood swings, or lack of motivation

Prolonged muscle soreness or frequent injuries

Weakened immune system (getting sick more often)

✅ How to Recover & Prevent Overtraining:

Prioritise Rest & Recovery – Schedule rest days and listen to your body.

Fuel Properly – Eat a balanced diet rich in protein, carbs, and healthy fats.

Stay Hydrated – Water supports recovery and helps flush toxins.

Sleep 7–9 Hours – Quality sleep is when your muscles actually rebuild.

Vary Your Training – Mix up intensity and include mobility, stretching, or low-impact cardio.

Active Recovery – Light walks, yoga, or foam rolling to boost blood flow without stress.

🏋️ Train Smarter, Not Just Harder

Progress comes from the right balance of training and recovery. If you think you might be overtraining, take a step back, adjust, and give your body the chance to recharge.

Most of our clients are on a 2–3 split routine, which means the days between sessions are just as important as the training itself. If you don’t already have a recovery plan in place — talk to us. You should.

📅 Quick update: September is at max capacity. October’s schedule is live — first come, first served!

Keep training hard (and resting smart).

Best,
