Why 3 Days of CrossFit Beats 2

Here’s something I hear all the time — online, in our intro consultations, even during warm-ups:

“Levi, I can probably manage two days a week. Is that enough to see results?”

And look, I get it.
If you’re a busy professional or parent in your 40s living in Budapest, two days feels comfortable.
It fits neatly around work, meetings, kids, commuting, life.

But if you’re looking for real change in the next 3–6 months?
If you’re tired of starting over, or feeling “stuck,” or waiting for things to shift?

Then two days is almost enough… but not quite.

Let me explain — gently, honestly — why three sessions per week is where the real progress happens.

🔹 Two Days Keeps You “In the Game”

Training twice a week will absolutely help you stay active.

It keeps your body moving.
It keeps your routine alive.
It keeps you connected to the tribe.

But in terms of progress — strength, fitness, energy, body composition —
two days tends to maintain, not transform.

It’s enough to stop sliding backwards.
But not enough to move forward.

And most people who walk through our doors at CrossFit Glasshouse aren’t looking for “maintenance.”
They’re looking for a change.

And that usually happens outside or comfort zone.

🔹 Three Days Creates Momentum

That extra session?
It’s a game-changer.

With three weekly sessions you get:

A full strength cycle every week
Enough conditioning to build your engine
Skill practice that finally “sticks”
Shorter recovery gaps, so your body adapts faster
More confidence, more familiarity, more rhythm

The magic word here is momentum.
Two sessions are isolated.
Three start connecting — and that’s where real progress happens.

🔹 And Yes… Three Days Is Totally Doable

This is the part most people underestimate:

We have a full schedule of group classes, 6 every weekday, and offering multiple sessions on Saturday and Sunday too. The gym is literally only closed 3 days a year :)

Morning, lunchtime, evening — there’s always something that fits the schedule of a busy adult.

When you have that level of flexibility, three sessions a week becomes realistic — not stressful.
And once you commit to it, the changes show up quickly: more energy, better sleep, stronger lifts, and that Budapest-in-your-step confidence that kicks in around week eight.
