Understanding Gym Lingo

Fitness lingo can feel like a foreign language—especially if you're new to the gym or coming back after a break. At IB Wellness Coaching, I believe clarity builds confidence. That’s why I've created this quick guide to help you understand the most common acronyms you’ll encounter in workouts, classes, and online plans.

• EMOM – Every Minute On the Minute

• HIIT – High-Intensity Interval Training

• AMRAP – As Many Rounds (or Reps) As Possible

These terms aren’t just buzzwords—they’re powerful formats that can help you structure your workouts for better results, more variety, and improved joint-friendly movement. Whether you're training at home, outdoors, or in a class, knowing these acronyms helps you stay safe, motivated, and in control.
