# 6.3. Fitness Center: Player Recovery
### Main **Functions** 
The Fitness Center is used to recover energy lost in official matches (8–12%) and training sessions (6–10%).
* **Recovery Efficiency.** Each level increases the recovery cap by 1% — from 81% at level 1 up to 100% at level 20.
* **Charging Capability.** Players can be charged above 100% in the Fitness Center. The cap increases with building level — from 101% at level 1 to 120% at level 20. Useful for keeping players match-ready during busy competition periods. Refer to the "Fitness Center upgrade information" table below.
* **Capacity Expansion:** Every 5 levels increases the number of players who can recover simultaneously by one.
