💡 You Might Also Want to Know
Q: What is the best time to go to the gym?
According to research, strength peaks between 2-6 PM due to body temperature and hormonal cycles. However, the best time is whenever you can be consistent. BodyFit Garage offers batches from 6 AM to 8:30 PM so you can train at YOUR optimal time.
Q: How long should a gym session be?
45-60 minutes of focused training is ideal. Our CrossFit and HIIT sessions at BodyFit Garage are 45 minutes including warm-up and cool-down — scientifically designed for maximum results without overtraining.
Q: Should I do cardio before or after weights?
Weights first, cardio after. Lifting weights when fresh maximizes strength and muscle building. If you do cardio first, fatigue compromises your lifting form and results. At BodyFit Garage, our programming follows this evidence-based sequence.
