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. Manager Shin Seung-hwan looks at your assessment results together with the sport you play, and sets the balance between sport-specific conditioning and recovery exercise.
