Expanding Gym Locations and Importance of Recovery in Fitness Training

As trainers and coaches, we love to talk about fitness.

Whether it’s writing training programs, how to better coach and cue our clients, or simply nerding out about our favorite exercises, the training part of the equation is always fun.

But what about the other side – what about recovery?

While it’s getting more and more notoriety these days, having a better understanding of recovery is a key piece of the puzzle, and one I’m excited to talk about with today’s guest.

Pete McCall is a fitness educator responsible for educating thousands of fitness professionals all over the world. He is the Director of Education for EōS Fitness, and operates a consulting service that creates and delivers fitness education content.

And today, Pete and I are going to talk a ton about recovery and how you can better plan and program it for your clients and athletes.

The whole point of periodization is to design the workouts to optimize rest periods between workouts. – Pete McCall
