Starting with an assessment,
a 50-minute 1:1 session

Yes. Many PAFGYM members started exercising for the first time with us. At your first orientation we check your current condition and movement, then start at an intensity that fits the results.

The first few weeks are spent learning good posture, breathing and the basic movements. Weight and reps go up slowly, at the pace your body adapts.

Orientation is split into three sessions. The first is a trial session; from the second on, it continues as regular sessions after you register.

Day 1 · Understanding your body We hear about your goals and any discomfort, check muscle mass and body fat with InBody, then look at your joints' range of motion. We finish with light bodyweight exercises anyone can follow.

Day 2 · Muscular endurance and lower body We check your baseline fitness with movements like squats and push-ups, and learn lower-body exercises. If anything feels uncomfortable, we stop right away and switch to another movement.

Day 3 · Cardiorespiratory endurance and upper body We check cardiorespiratory function with running matched to your fitness level, learn upper-body exercises, and finish with stretching.

You can check trial session prices and available times on each studio's Naver Booking.

PAFGYM hires only experienced trainers. So even our first level, Professional, means a trainer with experience equivalent to a senior trainer elsewhere who has also completed PAFGYM's training program.

Professional We teach everything from good posture and safe fundamentals to programs built around your goals.

Senior Trainers with 3,000–10,000 sessions taught and a career score of 80 points or more, who build programs around specific goals such as strength and fitness.

Master · Manager Trainers with over 10,000 sessions taught and a career score of 100 points or more.

Fees differ by level. Please see the pricing table by level as well.

Levels are set by what trainers have achieved and how much they study, not by how long they have worked. Degrees, national and accredited certifications, education and conference participation, conference presentations and writing, and competition results are all scored out of 150 points; 80 points or more qualifies for Senior, and 100 or more for Master.

The full evaluation criteria are published in the Career Ladder evaluation table.

We build the program around your goal: managing weight and body fat, building strength and fitness, learning good posture and movement, or preparing your fitness for sports like marathons or golf.

Even with the same goal, each person's condition and lifestyle are different, so we build a plan for you based on what we find at your first orientation.

We keep your InBody results and session records and show you how you compare with your starting point at set intervals. If you use a wearable such as a smartwatch, your trainer can also review your steps, heart rate and sleep with you to plan your life outside of sessions.

You can read more about how it works in PT with data.

The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that adults do at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, and strength training on at least 2 days a week.

That is why we recommend PT at least twice a week. If you want to build strength and fitness while also managing body fat, three times a week works well, and even once a week during busy periods helps you maintain your current body. Your trainer will give you exercises to do on your own on days without a session. What matters most is consistency.

A package of 48 sessions shared when two or more immediate family members train together. For consistent results, attending 4 times a week is the rule, and Master and Manager trainers teach private sessions only. You can see the price in the pricing table.

If at any point the schedule or direction doesn't feel right, please tell the studio manager. We'll listen and help you continue training with another trainer.

A 1:1 program in which you wear a continuous glucose monitor for about 10 days, and your trainer reviews the records with you to adjust meal order and exercise timing. You can see in numbers how your body responds to different meals and exercise.

It does not replace medical diagnosis; anything that needs medical care, we will direct you to discuss with your doctor.
