Ready to Improve? Commit to Recovery
Pushing your limits during a challenging workout feels great. It is a sign of progress and a step toward your wellness goals. Many people believe the path to improvement is paved with high-intensity training alone. What if the real key to unlocking your next level of fitness is found not in the push, but in the pause? True, lasting progress depends just as much on how you recover as it does on how you train.
Recovery is not a reward for a hard workout but an essential part of your training plan. Without proper recovery, your muscles cannot repair and rebuild, your risk of injury increases, and your performance can plateau. By giving your body the care it needs, you build a stronger, more resilient foundation that allows you to train more effectively and achieve your goals faster. We have designed a complete approach to wellness that places recovery at the center of your fitness journey.
4 Ways to Commit to Your Recovery
How can you make recovery an active part of your routine? We believe in a personalized approach that combines active recovery methods with specialized therapies. This ensures your body gets exactly what it needs to heal, strengthen, and prepare for your next challenge.
1. Build Your Foundation with Tier 1 Classes
At CORE57, we structure our classes into a wellness pyramid with three tiers. Tier 1 is the foundation of the pyramid, focusing on mobility, stability, and active recovery. These classes are the starting point for anyone looking to build a stronger body and an effective fitness routine. We recommend all of our members prioritize attending Tier 1 classes, as they provide the necessary foundation for success in more advanced workouts.
Think of Tier 1 classes as essential maintenance for your body. They help you develop a greater range of motion, improve your balance, and strengthen your core. This foundation is what supports your efforts in more intense strength (Tier 2) and cardio (Tier 3) workouts. When scheduling one or two Tier 1 classes each week, you are not taking a day off -you are investing in your body’s ability to perform better and remain injury-free over the long term.
Our Tier 1 classes include:
Roll and Restore
Maximum Movement
Pilates
Core T1
2. Reduce Tension with Cupping Therapy
After a series of tough workouts, muscle soreness and tension are common. Cupping Therapy is an ancient technique that can help your body heal more efficiently. By using suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues, cupping improves blood flow to targeted areas.
This increased circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, helping to speed up the repair process. The result is reduced muscle tension, less soreness, and improved flexibility. It is a powerful way to help your muscles recover so you can return to your next workout feeling refreshed and ready.
3. Enhance Circulation with Gua Sha
Gua Sha is another therapy designed to support your body’s natural healing processes. This technique involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to improve circulation and break down areas of tightness. For anyone who pushes their body, Gua Sha can be especially helpful in addressing the inflammation and stiffness that follow a workout.
By boosting circulation and promoting lymphatic drainage, Gua Sha helps your body flush out toxins that build up during intense exercise. This can lead to faster recovery times and a noticeable reduction in muscle soreness, allowing you to train more consistently.
4. Release Tightness with Myofascial Therapy
Your muscles are wrapped in a web of connective tissue called fascia. When this tissue becomes tight from overuse or injury, it can create painful trigger points and limit your range of motion. Myofascial Therapy is a hands-on technique focused on releasing this tension.
Our trained therapist applies gentle, sustained pressure to these tight spots, helping to break down scar tissue and muscle adhesions. This process can restore flexibility, improve movement efficiency, and relieve chronic pain. It is an effective treatment for overuse injuries and an important tool for preventing future muscle strain.
Make Recovery Part of Your Fitness Routine
Your commitment to your health does not end when your workout does. By embracing recovery, you are giving your body the tools it needs to adapt, grow stronger, and carry you toward your wellness goals. Whether through a foundational Tier 1 class or a targeted therapy session, prioritizing recovery is a powerful statement about your dedication to long-term improvement.
