Which members is Manager Song Ho-gyu a good fit for?
- Athletes in sports with lots of stopping and changing direction, such as football, rugby, and volleyball
- For those returning to competition or everyday exercise after an injury who need step-by-step conditioning
- Student golfers who want to build their fitness systematically in the off-season
- For those who want an exercise plan based on assessment results rather than guesswork
Sessions build an exercise plan based on assessment, starting with exercises that increase joint range of motion and progressing step by step to sport movements such as deceleration and changes of direction. If symptoms persist, we recommend consulting a medical professional first.

How does a first session with Manager Song Ho-gyu begin?
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 Song Ho-gyu places particular importance on this assessment, using the results to decide with you the exercises for your current stage and the criteria for moving on to the next.
