How does a first session with co-CEO Yoo Ji-hoon 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. If you use measurement devices or data in daily life, co-CEO Yoo Ji-hoon reviews them as well and uses them as a basis for setting exercise intensity and timing.
