How does the first session with Manager Cho Min-seok begin?
At PAFGYM, the first three sessions focus on consultation and assessment rather than jumping straight into exercise. We check your body composition with InBody, review your movement through basic exercises, and look at your endurance to set your starting point together. Manager Cho Min-seok conducts this assessment especially thoroughly, identifying what to refine first in your posture and movement before setting the order of exercises.
