Many people focus on training intensity but overlook one of the most important elements of progress—recovery. Your body needs time and resources to repair and grow stronger after each workout.

Quality sleep is the foundation of recovery, supporting muscle repair, hormone balance, and energy levels. Hydration and balanced nutrition also play crucial roles in fuelling your body and replenishing what’s lost through exercise. Incorporating mobility work, stretching, and low‑intensity activity can help reduce soreness and maintain flexibility.

Without proper recovery, performance drops and injury risk increases. At Mark’s Gym, we encourage members to train smart, not just hard. By prioritising recovery, you’ll feel better, stay consistent, and see far greater results from your workouts.
