That's a crazy routine. It would be easy to overtrain on that. If your trainer knows what they're doing, you should be able to ask them about what to do. Your muscles can take up to 7 days (or longer) to fully recover. Everyone's different.
Be sure you're eating enough carbs and protein for recovery.
Also try soaking in cold water. Another method is to have a shower and switch between hot and cold.
You might also want to try a cal-mag supplement at night on an empty stomach. Calcium and magnesium are used in muscle contraction and expansion.
Don't overdo any of these, but feel free to experiment.
Some light cardio might also speed up recovery.
If you're new to this level of intensity, your body will soon get used to it and your recovery should speed up.
