  • How often should I workout during the week so that I will have maximum results? Open or Close

  • Is daily training recommended? Open or Close

    The recommendation of CrossFit is "3 days on - 1 day off - 2 days on - 1 day off".

    It is important to us that you train regularly, because only through continuity over a longer period of time with appropriate intensity you will have progress and success. You can only achieve this if you train regularly. Elite athletes train daily, but with varying intensity and 1-2 active days of rest.

  • How can a lactate threshold test help me optimize my training at TheOpenGym (CrossFit/HYROX)? Open or Close

    A lactate threshold test measures the lactate concentration in the blood during gradually more intense exercise. The results (zone 1-5) allow you to determine your individual anaerobic threshold, which provides the basis for precise training control. This allows you to specifically improve your endurance and performance, avoid overtraining and optimally prepare for e.g. CrossFit/HYROX competitions. Regular testing every 6-9 months allows you to continually adjust your training plan for maximum progress.

    The tests can be completed on the treadmill or bicycle ergometer and can be asked directly from Owner Pascal Bollmann. Pascal has already tested almost a thousand athletes, health and business persons, many of them several times, to ensure more follow-up.
