Incoming summer analyst and I’m wondering how you guys stay active in banking as I’m pretty active myself?
In college I work out from 6:30am-8am and work on school work or my 20hrs/week job from 9am-7pm, get din then hit the books again until 10pm (ish, sometimes later) 5 days a week. During analyst years can I retain some semblance of this schedule?
Also any advice on fitness in IB is appreciated

If you can keep the 6:30AM gym time going, there shouldn’t be an issue since people usually aren’t online until 9:00AM at the earliest. The problem will be maintaining that when you’re up past midnight working.
Okay awesome thanks
The only way I'm able to fit in workouts is if I go at 6:30am. This isn't always easy especially after nights when I'm up late. Unfortunately, I've only been making it to the gym about 3 days a week even though I'd love to make it 4 or 5. I should go more on weekends but I'm always hungover.
That's 100% understandable, thanks for the input here!
This might come across as controversial but I typically start my day with a combo of F2 + ESC + ->. Some days I'll mix it up with other versions of that, but I'm very routine oriented.
A more rigorous exercise, done by my MBA associate (prefers a different routine), typically starts with ALT + W + VG, quickly followed by CTRL + A + ALT + H + A. He swears by it.
Hope this helps.
This is huge thank you. Usually I prefer the alt+n+m+"enter" shortcut for finding my next beach vacation spot.
As long as you can create shareholder value from that beach vacation spot, have at it
