To keep the competition as fair as possible, we've decided to extend our Pull-Up Challenge for one more month. Over the past few weeks, we've noticed that participants have been using slightly different pull-up techniques, making it difficult to compare results fairly. From now on, every repetition will be carefully judged by one of our trainers using the same standards for everyone. A valid repetition must include: - ✅ Start from a full dead hang (arms fully extended) - ✅ Chin clearly above the bar - ✅ Return to full arm extension before beginning the next repetition We've prepared a short video demonstrating the correct technique. 🎥 Watch the video below before attempting the challenge. Pull-Ups Challenge extended -> Good luck, and we can't wait to see your best performance! 💪

Why Is a Towel Required During Your Workout? To help maintain a clean, comfortable, and professional training environment, using a towel during every workout is now required. This isn't about introducing unnecessary rules. It's about creating better conditions for everyone who trains in our gym. A towel helps reduce direct contact between your body and the equipment, making it easier to keep benches and machines clean throughout the day. While it's impossible to eliminate sweat completely, using a towel significantly improves overall hygiene. It also helps protect the upholstery and surfaces of our equipment. Sweat gradually contributes to wear and tear, and using a towel helps extend the lifespan of the machines so they remain in great condition for everyone. Finally, a clean training environment simply feels better. Walking into a gym where everyone follows the same basic standards creates a more pleasant atmosphere and a better overall experience. If you forget your towel, there's no need to miss your workout. Towels are available to rent at reception for 30 CZK. Thank you for helping us maintain a clean, respectful, and enjoyable environment for everyone.

One of the most underrated factors for gym performance and recovery is simply eating enough. Too many people undereat, then wonder why their strength, energy, and progress stall. If you want to perform well in the gym, your body needs enough fuel—especially carbohydrates, including simple sugars, which are often unfairly demonized. Your muscles rely on glycogen as a primary fuel source for high-intensity training, and without adequate glycogen stores, performance can suffer. Recovery is just as important. After training, make sure you're getting enough calories and nutrient-dense foods, with an emphasis on animal-based foods. Plant foods don't provide the same nutritional value. Glycogen also needs to be replenished after training, so consuming enough carbohydrates remains important. That said, everyone should consider their own metabolic health. If you're increasing your sugar intake, do it gradually and pay attention to how your body responds.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Voice of Nepal, where Hana Součková shared her extraordinary journey through the remote Kingdom of Mustang in Nepal. More than a travel talk, it was an inspiring reflection on leadership, personal growth, resilience, and the lessons that different cultures can teach us. We truly appreciate everyone who came and helped create such a welcoming atmosphere. We look forward to seeing you at our next event!

When we hear the word “play,” we usually think of children. They run, jump, and throw a ball without worrying about calories burned or completing a workout. They move simply because they enjoy it. 🏃‍♀️⚽ As adults, we often turn exercise into another obligation. Yet activities like badminton, frisbee, dancing, table tennis, or playing tag with our children can naturally improve fitness, coordination, balance, and reaction time. When we play, we also tend to notice time and fatigue much less. Play benefits our minds as well. It allows us to switch off for a while, laugh, and spend quality time with family, friends, or colleagues. We do not need to be good at it, compete, or track our performance—we can simply move for the joy of it. 🙌 A SMALL CHALLENGE FOR THIS WEEK 💡 Think of a game or activity you enjoyed as a child and return to it for at least 20 minutes. Don’t count calories or steps. The only goal is to enjoy moving. When was the last time you played just for fun? 😊
