Exactly What Happens in Our 8-Week Program (Weeks 1–8)

Thinking about starting at Inspire but not sure what the 8-Week Program actually looks like? Here’s a week-by-week breakdown of what you can expect, how we build your results step by step, and why people in Clonmel love it.
Week 1 – Getting Started, No Guesswork
- Kick-off call + assessment: we go through your goals, training history, and any injuries.
- InBody scan: baseline measurements for muscle, body fat, and progress markers.
- First coached sessions: learning our main movements (squat, push, pull, hinge, carry) in a small group setting (max 8 people).
- Nutrition foundation: simple changes, not a diet. We set protein targets and build meals around real food you actually eat.
Week 2 – Building Confidence
- Training feels more familiar, and you’ll notice technique improving.
- We focus on form over load—making sure you’re moving safely before chasing numbers.
- Nutrition check-in: we help you adjust portion sizes and hit protein consistently.
- You’ll already start feeling more energetic and less sore after workouts.
Week 3 – Routine Locks In
- By now, 3 sessions per week feels like part of your routine.
- We increase weights slightly or add a rep here and there.
- Conditioning (sleds, carries, bike intervals) gets introduced in short bursts to build fitness without crushing recovery.
- Nutrition tweaks: hydration goals and easy meal prep wins.
Week 4 – First Progress Check
- Second InBody scan: most people see inches down, energy up, and strength gains already.
- Training ramps gently—more challenging sets, but still manageable.
- Mindset shift: you’ll notice workouts don’t feel intimidating anymore.
Week 5 – Strength Phase
- Bigger lifts progress: squats, deadlifts, presses get pushed a little harder.
- Accessory work (rows, split squats, carries) keeps balance.
- You’ll see visible changes in strength and shape—clothes fit differently, posture improves.
- Nutrition support: focus on balance (protein, carbs, fats) that fuels training and recovery.
Week 6 – Momentum & Conditioning
- Work capacity improves—you’re fitter, not just stronger.
- Conditioning pieces last longer or get slightly more intense.
- Confidence in the gym is high—you know what you’re doing.
- Coaches check in: are you on track, or do we need to tweak?
Week 7 – Pushing Limits (Safely)
- Heavier sets or new variations keep you progressing.
- More stamina: chasing the kids, climbing stairs, or busy workdays feel easier.
- Nutrition focus: consistency over perfection. If you’ve slipped, we pull you back on track.
Week 8 – Results & Reset
- Final InBody scan: measure progress in strength, muscle, and fat loss.
- Celebrate results: inches down, strength up, confidence back.
- We set a next step plan so you don’t lose momentum—whether that’s continuing into another phase or adjusting goals.
- By now, you’ll have 8 weeks of structure, habits, and confidence you can build on.
What Makes Inspire Different
- Small groups (max 8): you’re never lost in the crowd.
- Coach-led sessions: no guesswork—just clear guidance every rep.
- Nutrition support: not a diet, but real strategies that fit family and work life.
- Accountability: we check in, track, and adjust so you succeed.
