Frequently asked questions

Exercise

How much is it?

Endure is £99pm for 2 months



I'm a CrossFit athlete, can you tailor this programme to me.

The strength portion of this programme is not designed for CrossFit, but to improve running and cycling.



Do you tailor the exercise programme specifically for me.

This is a semi tailored exercise programme which follows a certain structure. There is a beginner, intermediate and advanced programme that can be adjusted to match your ability and equipment you have available, however this is not a personalised plan.



Do I need any equipment?

The strength programme comes with the option of home or gym workouts. These can be adapted to equipment you have available to you.



What's included in the exercise programme?

The programme consists of 2 strength workouts per week and an optional mobility programme. You also get access to interval workout sessions based on your testing results.



I already follow a running programme, how will this help me?

If you already follow a plan or have a coach, your testing results can help guide you with intensities as well as highlight any weaknesses you have. You will also receive training sessions to help target these weaknesses.



Diet

Do I get a meal plan?

As part of Endure, you get access to a selection of meal plans based on your target weight and exercise sessions. There is an option to purcahse a personalised meal plan specific to your macros and tastes for £25.



Do I get my macros calculated for me?

Yes, based on your testing results we write up your calories and macronutrients for your different training days. Although you're asked to track initially, we encourage you to move away from this approach as you progress.



How often are they changed?

Depending on your results, you work with your coach to make any adjustments necessary.



Are there recipes?

Yes. You get access to a selection of recipes and a meal plan builder which helps you build balanced meals. Members are also encouraged share their recipes with the group on #Recipewednesday.



Do I have to count kcals

We only reccomend counting for the first few weeks to understand food values. The idea is to track now so you don't have to track again.



Do you recommend supplements?

This depends on your goal, but we do have a specific section on supplements for performance.



What's a fuelling plan?

Different training sessions will require different fuelling strategies. Based on your testing we can help you understand how to do this. You also give you a framework so you know how to eat for each particular session.



Testing

What equipment is the test done on?

The VO2 test is performed on either the bike or treadmill depending on your sport.



How does the testing work?

Metabolic testing involves wearing a mask, which gathers information about how much oxygen you breath in, and how much carbon dioxide you breath out. From this data we can establish your fitness levels, kcal and carbohydrate/fat burn. There are two tests that we carry out, an RMR and VO2 test. The RMR test helps establish how many kcals you require for your goal. This test will be performed with you being seated for 10-12 minutes and remaining as relaxed as possible. The VO2 test is a ramp test that increases in exercise intensity until you are unable to continue. This helps us establish your fitness levels, your training zones and fuel utilisation.



Am I fit enough?

Absolutely, the testing is simply done to provide you with a tailored approach to your diet and training, regardless of your fitness levels. It's not a test to see how good you are, but to help you improve.
