Modern facilities, spacious spaces and a wide range of member services. With outdoor swimming pools, a spa, tennis courts, and numerous fitness classes in spacious spaces, you have the opportunity to work out and rejuvenate with the assistance of real professionals.
Sportal.it had the opportunity to personally test what Aspria and in particular its Harbour Club in Milan (via Cascina Bellaria 19, San Siro area) offers: a morning that è started well, thanks to the kindness of the receptionists and è continued even better, under the guidance of Stefano Marini, a very competent, effective and also patient Fitness Supervisor, who opened up a world to us and was soon able to motivate our envoy, whose state of fitness, at the moment, cannot è be considered enviable (although not è exactly to be scrapped, as he proudly keeps emphasizing).
You only get benefits with proper recovery after training: physical activity alone does not make you faster or stronger; the development of fitness, in fact, happens when tissues repair themselves. Without adequate rest, the muscle damage caused by workouts accumulates and you can reach a point where you even begin to experience a decrease in performance.
There are two types of recovery: active recovery and passive recovery. The former è is when you change physical activities, so instead of doing a cardio session in the gym you choose to take a walk outdoors. And again, rather than lifting weights, one participates in a yoga class or rides a bicycle for a fun outdoor hike. This type of recovery always takes place at a slower pace and in a relaxed environment (preferably outside the gym) and, sometimes, è exactly what you need to return to your normal fitness routine stronger and more focused, because it also helps your mind reset and find peace. Passive recovery, on the other hand, concerns all the activities you do to prevent pain and help your muscles recover as quickly as possible, è the most classic and involves taking a longer or shorter break between one workout and another and aims to try to relax the newly trained body parts as much as possible.
In fact, in passive recovery there are several devices that provide the right benefits for effective muscle recovery after each training session. For example, the Hypervolt massage gun portable percussion massager that è can be used either sitting or standing: lightweight and versatile, this device è can offer relief on the go by dissolving stress, tension and muscle knots and fighting fatigue. The goal of the gun è to speed up the warm-up routine and relieve muscle tension caused by long hours spent at the desk. For those who suffer from circulation problems or swelling and want to invigorate their muscles, Aspria Harbour Club experts recommend ending the workout with a treatment featuring Normatec.Leg System. This device uses dynamic air compression to create a regenerative massage that promotes lymphatic drainage and revives muscles while reducing pain. Finally, to target targeted areas while reducing pain for faster recovery, promoting blood circulation and releasing muscle tension, the perfect ally according to Club trainers è the Hypersphere massage ball, simple and easy to use è great even at the end of long days of sedentary work.
Finally, the Vyper vibrating massage roller that – thanks to its small size – canò be taken anywhere, so you can warm up quickly or indulge in a great recovery at any time. It actually helps reduce muscle stiffness and revitalization time and amplifies the benefits of traditional self-myofascial release techniques. Thus, devices intended for passive recovery are very useful to be able to manage all post-workout discomfort with comfortà and easeà wherever you want. The’Aspria Harbour Club, in fact, dà the possibility of ending workouts using valid devices capable of donating benefits to the body with the’objective of having an optimal muscle recovery.
Staying (or getting back, as in our case) in shape, but also relaxing and, whyé no, having fun, is not è a titanic feat in such a context. On the contrary. è an experience worth experiencing. Thanks also go to Eleonora Cavallo, a very good personal trainer, who è lent herself to model.
