    HOME

    From gorgeous panoramic views to Wi-Fi access.

    John Harris is more than just a gym. Our guests also like to describe their time with us as a kind of "short vacation" in their otherwise hectic everyday lives. They come, linger and leave the studio with a happy face. This is not only due to our diverse wellness, spa, massage and well-being offers, but also to the feel-good atmosphere as soon as they enter our studios.

    With coffee, protein shakes or snacks from the bar, it is possible to regenerate and relax wonderfully in our lounge as well as in the various relaxation zones and fantastic outdoor areas of our selected John Harris Fitness Clubs.

    The Impact of Music on Training

    Many people find that working out with music enhances their performance. This isn't mere perception—it's backed by research. Numerous studies confirm that music can boost exercise performance by up to 15%. Even elite athletes often incorporate music into their pre-competition routines. This positive effect applies not only to professionals but also to beginners.

    Choosing the Best Workout Time: Morning vs. Evening

    Determining the most effective time for training is a common question, with various studies yielding mixed results. The extent to which timing impacts muscle building and physical conditioning remains somewhat inconclusive. Biorhythms and hormones play pivotal roles in our performance levels, but they differ from person to person. Some individuals are naturally early risers, while others are night owls, leading to varying peak performance times based on personal biorhythms.

    The Optimal Timing for Exercise

    Different individuals choose various times to engage in physical activity, whether it's a morning workout routine or an evening gym session. Is there a specific time that's best for exercise, or does the timing not significantly impact its benefits? While there isn't a definitive answer, it's clear that physical activity is essential for mental clarity and overall well-being. Regular exercise supports efficient bodily functions and helps prevent health issues. Although countless people commit to activities like strength training and jogging, the timing of these workouts can be crucial, affecting their outcomes. The ideal workout time varies depending on personal consistency and circumstances.

    What is the purpose of using the sauna?

    Many people believe that using the sauna after a workout is essential to a successful workout. At John Harris, where members have access to a large, opulent wellness area, this is not a problem. But how precisely—if at all—does the relationship between the body and the sauna actually operate? We'll go over why it's beneficial to incorporate frequent sauna visits into your time at the gym as well as to briefly use the sauna.

    Managing Stress through Sport

    When feeling drained and stressed, engaging in physical activity might seem counterintuitive, but exercise can significantly benefit both the body and mind. Sweating it out can effectively reduce stress and improve overall well-being.

    Swimming: The Ultimate All-Rounder

    Swimming is a summery sport that offers numerous benefits beyond its refreshing appeal. This article highlights swimming's positive impact on body composition and overall health.

    Stay flexible - stretching for everyone

    A highly debated area in fitness theory is stretching. So, is it better to stretch before or after a workout, better under muscle tension or completely relaxed, static or dynamic? Let us enlighten you!

    Canceling Gym Membership

    When you initiate gym participation, you'll typically enter into a membership agreement. This arrangement is logical, given your intention to engage in regular training for desired results. Typically, these memberships are for a specified duration, offering considerable savings over daily or monthly passes. The operator should clarify this in detail to allow for consideration. During this minimum contract period, canceling the membership is akin to terminating a cellphone contract, with relatively less hassle. It's important to ascertain the contract period and the terms and conditions for cancellations within and outside the minimum term when enrolling. Reputable providers furnish this information, while avoiding those who withhold details upfront, as they may yield unpleasant surprises.

    Relax properly after exercising

    For our muscles, rest is crucial. We can only keep our bodies in good shape if we regularly allow them to relax. However, recovery times can differ significantly depending on factors like age, gender, training condition, diet, and training intensity. Athletes who are older take longer to regenerate. Athletes who are in excellent training shape can recover more quickly. In general, women heal more quickly than men. Additionally, one should consider one's health. It is best to start slowly when recovering from an infection because it can sometimes take the body several weeks to get back to where it was before.
