Once you realize that training is important and want to get down to business, you have to make a decision about how to do it. Train alone? With dumbbells or bands or??? Or go to the gym? At the time, I decided to go to a gym - and signed a contract with Kieser Training.
The reasons for this lay in the Kieser concept, which in my opinion is reduced to the pure purpose: namely the training. There's no radio blaring, no bar, no sauna, etc. there. I like it that way because I am very focused in that respect and don't want any distractions. Furthermore, I go to the workout to ... work out. Nothing more, nothing less.
I see a further advantage in the approach and the underlying idea of effectively training the main muscle groups. The goal is a healthy body, without back pain, etc. To achieve this, an individual plan is drawn up to systematically train the muscles and the opposing muscles. As the opposing muscles are usually underdeveloped, this stabilizes the body after a short time. Speaking of time: a training session can be completed in around 30 minutes - this is enough to work all muscle groups and, as they are worked to exhaustion, you are completely satisfied in a positive sense. It is also planned to use measurements to check again and again how symmetrical the muscle build-up is and where there may still be deficits. Finally, it is possible to train in any Kieser studio with your gym card - I have tested this several times and it works perfectly. The training plans from the "home studio" can then even be transferred to the guest studio.
My conclusion: I see many advantages in the Kieser approach as described above. The disadvantage is perhaps that the plans become monotonous after a certain time, but then you have to talk to the staff and change the machines if necessary. Kieser is also not a cheap form of training, but those who like an efficient concept without frills, like me, will gladly pay for it. For this reason, I can answer the question of whether I would do it again with a resounding yes.
Later I went to Venice Beach, I'll write about that later. But then I discovered functional training for myself - which I still do today with success and a lot of fun.
