Read on to discover what it is and why it's suitable for every fitness level. 
 

What is circuit training?

In essence, circuit training is a combination of different exercises. By performing the exercises consecutively without rest, it is a highly effective way to train your entire body. Done with all the repetitions of each exercise? Then your first round is done.

At Circle-Fit, the circuit consists of 8 different exercises. Each exercise focuses on a different muscle group. This makes circuit training suitable for achieving a variety of fitness goals, such as: losing weight, building muscle strength, and staying fit. 

Different fitness levels

It is important to train according to your level. Not only does this prevent injuries, but it also makes it easier to stay motivated because you are not starting too heavily. In fitness, we distinguish three different fitness levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

Beginner

As a beginner, you get to know circuit training and exercising. It's important that you learn to master the exercise and get the techniques down. A good warm-up and cool-down are essential to prevent injuries. 

Since you have no experience with training yet, your muscles, tendons, and joints are not accustomed to heavy weights and complicated exercises. A gradual build-up is the best way to achieve your fitness goals. Through an intake interview, we determine what your level is. The super modern fitness machines at Circle-Fit automatically adjust to your body and training level. This way, you can be sure that you are performing the exercises correctly and achieving the best results. 

Intermediate fitness level

At an intermediate training level, your muscles, tendons, and joints are accustomed to training with weights. But don't be mistaken. Even as an intermediate athlete, it is important to execute the techniques correctly during your training. At an intermediate training level, you use circuit training to maintain your level and make progress from there. Bit by bit, you notice that you can gradually increase the intensity and that your fitness goals come closer. 

Advanced fitness level

You regularly visit the gym. Yet you notice that you are not achieving the desired goals. Then the question is to what extent you are doing the right training. As humans, we are creatures of habit. Perhaps you've always been into strength training or more into cardio. The secret to achieving your fitness goals actually lies in the combination. With circuit training, you build muscle strength while simultaneously working on your fitness, as you move directly to the next exercise. One thing is certain, with circuit training, you always have enough challenge in your workout to keep making progress.
