Training With An Injury
Training with an injury is possible with the right approach and guidance. Whether it's a sprained ankle, back pain, or wrist discomfort, injuries often come with fear of movement. At Pherform, we work with you to assess your injury, separate the pain from fear, and find safe alternatives to keep you moving. Partnering with experts like a physio and prioritizing rest, nutrition, and recovery are key to overcoming injuries.
Don’t let fear hold you back—reach out to our team, and let’s find a solution together.
Training Intensity: RPE
RPE, or Rate of Perceived Exertion, helps you train smarter by measuring workout intensity based on how it feels. At Pherform, we use RPE to personalize training, prevent overtraining, and optimize results. It’s a simple and effective way to stay in tune with your body and progress safely.
Why Protein is Essential for Your Body's Efficiency
Protein isn’t just about building muscles—it’s vital for tissue repair, immune defense, and metabolic regulation. For those with active training habits, we recommend 1.2 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily. Need help staying on track?

Ever feel lightheaded or fatigued during your workouts or daily activities?
Feeling lightheaded or fatigued? An electrolyte imbalance might be the cause, affecting both workouts and daily activities. Try supplements like SUPERnatural⁺ or RE-LYTE for a quick boost.
Can you maintain a high intensity interval after interval after interval?
Maintaining high intensity across intervals is key for a balanced training program, targeting different energy systems and boosting cardiovascular health. Training all energy systems enhances performance, recovery, and overall wellness. Our FST Training Program integrates these systems—try to spot them in your next class!
