Your return does not need a challenge
After illness, the aim is not to make up every missed session. Discuss your current situation before trying to resume a demanding routine. If symptoms persist or you are unsure about returning, a healthcare professional can help you understand the next step.
Long COVID needs individual attention
WHO describes fatigue, breathlessness and muscle or joint pain among the symptoms of post-COVID condition. It also discusses exercise intolerance and post-exertional malaise. This means that a standard “push a little harder each week” plan may be inappropriate for someone with persistent symptoms.

Let clinical advice shape the return
WHO recommends individual care and describes strategies for responding to symptom flare-ups, including reducing activity when needed. Do not use a gym challenge as a substitute for medical assessment or try to push through a deterioration after activity. Your clinician can advise on appropriate rehabilitation and activity.

Before your next IMFIT session
Contact the team to explain that you are returning after a break and discuss relevant activity guidance privately. A membership enquiry does not need your medical records. We can discuss gym and coaching options; this general article is not a rehabilitation plan or a diagnosis.
