About

Last updated

The HIT Method is an independent guide to high-intensity training. We write plain, careful articles about interval training: what it is, how to structure work and rest, how hard the hard parts should feel, how often to train this way, how to recover, and which popular ideas do not hold up.

Who we are, and who we are not

The site is written and edited by a small team that signs its work as The HIT Method Training Desk. We do not use personal bylines, and we do not present anyone as a doctor, coach or scientist on these pages.

We are not affiliated with “The HIT Method” fitness program or business that used this domain name between roughly 2018 and 2022. We have no connection to that program, its founders, its trainers, its classes or any media coverage it received. We do not continue it, sell it, or speak for it. If you are looking for that program, it is not here, and we cannot help with accounts, refunds or memberships related to it.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell training programs, plans, classes, coaching, apps or memberships.
  • We do not run ads, sponsored posts or affiliate links, and we do not recommend brands or products.
  • We do not invent statistics, studies, quotes, expert opinions or reader stories, and we do not publish specific calorie or fitness-gain promises.

What we cover

  • HIIT Basics: the building blocks of interval training and how to start sensibly.
  • Workouts: complete sessions with warm-ups, cool-downs and easier options.
  • Programming: how to fit intervals into a week alongside strength work and easy cardio.
  • Heart Rate & Effort: using perceived effort (RPE) and heart rate, and the limits of both.
  • Recovery: sleep, easy days, and signs you are doing too much.
  • Training Myths: claims about interval training that deserve a second look.

Safety comes first

High-intensity training is not the right starting point for everyone. Our articles are general information, not personal medical or training advice. Please read our health note before trying hard intervals, and see how we write for our standards.
