Do you really need an hour to get an effective workout?
At PNF we get asked all the time why our sessions are only 45-50 minutes, rather than an hour?
Short Answer: Because it only takes that long to get an effective workout.
Slightly Longer Answer: An hour session is really just an old school training method that was started because of scheduling. It was easy to schedule clients on the hour, so we trained them for an hour. No scientific reason or benefit behind it. Just simple scheduling.
In fact, we used used to be like everyone else and did hour sessions. However, we were always finding ourselves with 10-15 minutes of time to fill. We got everything done that was needed. The clients were getting amazing results. But, the designed workouts were always 10-15 minutes short of an hour. So we’d add some stuff on the fly – real scientific huh? Then, we got to thinking. If we get everything in in under an hour, and the clients are seeing great results, why don’t we just start building our sessions on a 45-50 minute block of time? So we did and now our coaches get a few minutes gather their thoughts befor the next workout, talk with members, eat something, and take a bathroom break. And our members get the same results, actually better, in less time and can use that time to get other things done.
If you can get the same, or better, results in less time, why are you doing more?
More is not better, it is just more.
