Returning To Training After COVID-19 - How To Approach It
Caitlyn Davey • April 2, 2025
After contracting coronavirus, it can be exciting to return to the gym - or it can be stressful, particularly on your body. When returning to the gym, you should wait until symptoms subside and speak to your coach about easing back in.
Our physiotherapist, Louis has adapted guidelines from the British Journal of Sports Medicine for CrossFit and strength and conditioning to help people on their return to the gym.

Your free week at Rebuild Capalaba starts here
If you've spent a year or two in a high-intensity group class around Capalaba, Alexandra Hills or Chandler, you'll probably recognise this pattern. The first six months are brilliant. You're fitter, sweatier, and proud of yourself for showing up. Then, somewhere around month eight, the progress slows. You're still working just as hard, but the scales won't move, your knee niggles at you on leg day, and the sessions start to feel more like survival than progress. This isn't a motivation problem. It's usually a sign that your training needs a different kind of structure, and it's one of the most common reasons people across the Redlands come to us at Rebuild Capalaba looking for something a bit more tailored.
