Training With An Injury
Training with an injury is possible with the right approach and guidance. Whether it's a sprained ankle, back pain, or wrist discomfort, injuries often come with fear of movement. At Pherform, we work with you to assess your injury, separate the pain from fear, and find safe alternatives to keep you moving. Partnering with experts like a physio and prioritizing rest, nutrition, and recovery are key to overcoming injuries.
Don’t let fear hold you back—reach out to our team, and let’s find a solution together.
Training Intensity: RPE
RPE, or Rate of Perceived Exertion, helps you train smarter by measuring workout intensity based on how it feels. At Pherform, we use RPE to personalize training, prevent overtraining, and optimize results. It’s a simple and effective way to stay in tune with your body and progress safely.
Why Protein is Essential for Your Body's Efficiency
Protein isn’t just about building muscles—it’s vital for tissue repair, immune defense, and metabolic regulation. For those with active training habits, we recommend 1.2 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily. Need help staying on track?
