How Many Days Per Week Should You Actually Train?

One of the most common questions new clients ask is how often they should train. The honest answer is that it depends on your goals, your schedule, and your recovery. But there are clear guidelines that work for most people.

The sweet spot for most people

For general fitness and most goals, two to four strength sessions per week is the sweet spot. Two sessions can produce excellent results when programmed well, and three is ideal for most people balancing training with a busy life.

Consistency beats intensity

Training three days a week every week for a year will always beat training six days a week for three weeks before burning out. Choose a frequency you can sustain, then stay consistent.
