Strength Training: Why Less is More

Why "Less Is More" in Strength Training

At MYO, we challenge the conventional wisdom that more time in the gym equals better results. The truth is, when it comes to building strength and improving health, less can actually be more—if you train the right way.

High-intensity training (HIT) is based on brief, infrequent, and intense workouts. These sessions push your muscles to true fatigue, stimulating maximum adaptation without unnecessary volume or frequency. Why? Because growth happens during recovery, not while you're working out.

Spending hours in the gym might feel productive, but it can lead to overtraining, burnout, and injuries—especially for busy professionals or those over 40. At MYO, most clients train just once or twice per week, for about 30 minutes per session. Yet they consistently see measurable gains in strength, muscle tone, energy, and metabolic health.

Efficiency, safety, and sustainability—this is what modern strength training should look like.
