Training around shift work: the 6am plan

How shift workers around Clydebank fit training in: 6am classes, 7am to 10am Personal Training slots booked around your rota, and nutrition for odd hours.

A big share of Sanctuary Fitness clients work shifts: the Golden Jubilee, the yards, Amazon, buses and trains, care work. The timetable is built for them.

The early options

  • 6am classes Tuesday (HIIT), Wednesday (Barbell & Dumbbell) and Friday (Functional Fitness). Done by 7am.
  • Personal Training slots 7am to 10am Tuesday to Friday (from 6am on Thursday), and 7am and 8am on Saturday. Ideal after a night shift or before a late.
  • Afternoon and evening slots Tuesday and Wednesday 4pm, Thursday 5pm and 6pm.

Booking around a rota

Personal Training slots are booked directly with Stevie, so a rota that changes every week is not a problem. Send the rota, get the slots.

Eating on shifts

The nutrition plan is written for your actual day: what to eat before a 6am session, how to handle a 12-hour shift with one break, what to do on nights. Protein targets and a simple structure, not a diet that assumes you eat dinner at six.

Sleep and recovery

Shift workers are under-recovered by default. Training load is set with that in mind: three good sessions a week beat six tired ones.
