• For those who want to train while seeing how their fitness changes through measured numbers
• For those who have strength but find coordinated movements that link the whole body awkward
• For those who want to manage their fitness through regular cardio

Sessions build strength and coordination together based on measurement and assessment, using movements that combine strength and function, such as a full-body power exercise linking a single-leg deadlift and a dumbbell clean.

At PAFGYM, the first three sessions are spent on consultation and assessment rather than jumping straight into training. We check your body composition with InBody, look at how you move through basic movements, and gauge your endurance, so that together we can set your starting point. Trainer Cho Seok-yun uses your results as a baseline and measures again during your sessions to track changes with you.
