Most people think they have to choose between losing fat or gaining muscle. But what if you could do both—at the same time? That’s exactly what body recomposition is all about. At our gym, we specialize in helping members achieve this balanced transformation through smart training, proper nutrition, and a sustainable approach.
1. What is Body Recomposition?
Body recomposition refers to reducing body fat while increasing lean muscle mass. The result? A tighter, more defined, and stronger physique—without drastic weight changes on the scale.
Remember: The number on the scale may stay the same, but your body shape and composition change dramatically.
2. Who Can Benefit from Recomposition?
Recomp works best for:
- Beginners (new to training or returning after a break)
- Those with extra body fat and low muscle mass
- Intermediate lifters who haven’t trained or eaten strategically before
Even advanced lifters can recomp with the right strategy—though progress may be slower.
3. The Training Strategy: Focus on Resistance Training
To build muscle while losing fat, resistance training is essential. Compound lifts (like squats, deadlifts, rows, and presses) should form the core of your workout plan. Aim for:
- 3–5 sessions per week
- Progressive overload (gradually increasing weight or reps)
- Balanced muscle group training
Our coaches can customize a training plan based on your goals, schedule, and fitness level.
4. Nutrition: The Recomp Balancing Act
Unlike bulking (calorie surplus) or cutting (calorie deficit), recomposition requires a strategic balance:
- Slight calorie deficit or maintenance level (depending on body fat)
- High protein intake (1.6–2.2g per kg of body weight)
- Balanced carbs and healthy fats to fuel workouts and recovery
Pro tip: If you’re carrying more fat, you can recomp in a mild deficit. If you’re leaner, maintenance with perfect protein and training works best.
5. Patience is Key: Recomp Takes Time
Body recomposition is slower than strict fat loss or muscle gain—but the results are more balanced and sustainable. Expect visible results in 8–12 weeks with consistency in training and nutrition.
Don’t obsess over the scale—track changes through body measurements, photos, and how your clothes fit.
6. Sleep, Stress & Recovery Matter
Sleep and recovery play a massive role in muscle growth and fat loss. Make sure to:
- Get 7–9 hours of quality sleep
- Manage stress through activities like walking, stretching, or yoga
- Take rest days to allow muscle repair
We offer yoga, mobility, and guided recovery sessions to support your transformation.
Final Thoughts:
Body recomposition isn’t a shortcut—it’s a smarter, more sustainable way to change your body. By combining effective strength training, high-protein nutrition, and consistency, you’ll build a physique that’s both lean and strong.
