Maximize Your Gains: Open Gym

Ever found yourself wondering what to do during those open gym hours? Whether you're new to the gym scene or a seasoned pro, open gym hours are your golden ticket to customized gains. Here's how to take full advantage of that flexible schedule and get the most out of every minute.

1. Get Mobile: Stretch, Flex, Repeat

Mobility is the foundation of any solid workout routine. Use open gym hours to work on your flexibility and mobility. Think foam rolling, dynamic stretches, and yoga poses. Not only will this help prevent injuries, but it'll also improve your performance in the long run. Grab a mat, find a quiet corner, and get your stretch on!

Pro Tip: Try a quick sequence of cat-cows, pigeon poses, and hip flexor stretches. Your body will thank you.

2. Make Up Workouts: The Power of Do-Overs

Missed a class? No problem! Open gym hours are perfect for making up missed workouts. Check out the workout board or ask a coach for the WOD (Workout of the Day) you missed. Then, go at your own pace, focusing on form and technique. This way, you never have to skip a beat in your fitness journey.

3. GO Program: Minimal Equipment, Maximum Results

Our GO Program is a lifesaver when you want an effective workout without needing tons of equipment. These minimal-equipment workouts are designed to be quick and effective. Grab a kettlebell, some resistance bands, or just your body weight, and get to work! GO workouts can be found in the Wodify App > workouts > dropdown Manu “GO”

5. Flexibility is Key: Schedule Freedom

One of the best parts about open gym hours is the flexibility. You can come in whenever it fits your schedule. Got an unexpected gap between meetings? Sneak in a quick session. No need to stress about missing a class time – your gym time can now adapt to your life.

6. Stay After Class: Extra Gains

Sometimes, class isn't enough. Maybe you want to practice that new lift you learned or spend extra time on conditioning. Use open gym hours to stay after class and work on those extras. This is your time to refine skills and push yourself a little further.

7. TRY SOMETHING NEW: Functional Bodybuilding

Our FLEX class is at 9:30am M-F and is all about functional bodybuilding – a blend of aesthetics and performance. Think of it as sculpting muscles that not only look good but perform even better. If you can’t make it into the gym at that time incorporate FLEX into your open gym routine to build strength and definition in a balanced way.

Final Thoughts

Open gym hours are a playground for your fitness ambitions. Whether you're working on mobility, making up a missed class, crafting your own workout, diving into the GO program, enjoying flexible scheduling, staying after class, or hitting the FLEX programming, there's something for everyone. So next time you see those open gym hours on the schedule, jump at the opportunity to make your workout truly yours. See you at the gym, and let's get those gains together!

Stay motivated, stay fit, and have fun!
