Your body doesn’t need complicated; it needs consistency—and we’ll guide you every step of the way with a truly consistent workout routine that fits real life.
People ask the question often enough – what is the best workout. The simple answer is it’s the workout that you will do 3 or more times every week. A consistent workout routine is critical for results. The newest fad in fitness isn’t the most effective. I know because I’ve tried a lot of things over the years. I’ve purchased home routines, done the big box gym thing, and I’ve tried different kinds of classes. It wasn’t until I tried CrossFit that I found the best workout routine for me.
How Many Times Should I work Out Each Week?
Trendy workouts may seem attractive, but the best routine is the one that doesn’t have a specific name – it’s the one you’ll actually do. I often tell people during consultations that we didn’t get here in a month, and we’re not going to reach our final goal in a month, either. At Fit Augusta, we coach people and encourage consistent attendance and a long-term focus. We provide workouts built around 3 simple pillars of minimum effective dose:
- Strength Sessions (2–3x per week) – Progressive lifting sessions improve bone density and muscle mass, increase metabolism, and just make life easier.
- High-Intensity (1–2x per week) – The workouts in Fit Augusta’s classes hit this category most days of the week. Get your heart rate in zones 4 or 5 several days per week.
- Low-Intensity Movement (150+ minutes weekly) – Our warm-ups, cool downs, and recovery workouts provide low intensity work, so you only need to add a few activities to hit this mark weekly. Walk the dog or do some yardwork – either way you’re doing low intensity movement that will complement your in-gym workouts.
How Fit Augusta provides a consistent workout routine
- Freedom from “Decision Fatigue” – Pre-programmed workouts means that you don’t have to figure out what you’re doing today. Just show up and all of the pieces fall into place.
- Stacked Compounding Wins – Every small PR and even each successful lift is a win. Putting these in the bank consistently is like compounding interest that causes your account to grow.
- Personal Coaching, Not Crowd Control – No microphones here! Our professional trainers coach people individually. When your guidance is customized, your small daily wins will be bigger.
- Supportive Community – When you ring the PR bell and your classmates cheer, you know that you have people behind you for support.
- Layers of Accountability – This is the term I use for all of the tools we employ to help you win. Registering for class in advance, follow ups from our staff, and goal reviews provide the layers of glue that help our programs stick.
The final piece that builds a consistent workout routine at Fit Augusta is that we follow the CrossFit methodology:
- Constant variation – You never get bored!
- Functional movements – Larger movements that work many muscles at once.
- High intensity – Hits that zone 4 and 5 heart rate requirement.

Fit Augusta provides that foundation with expert coaching, quarterly goal reviews, and an encouraging community, ensuring your consistent workout routine delivers compounding results long after trends fade.
