Your first hour

What to expect, minute by minute

Most beginners are nervous about looking silly or not being strong enough. Here's the honest play-by-play so you can walk in confident.

0–10 min

Walk in early

Arrive 10 minutes before class. Sign a quick digital waiver, meet your instructor, and get a tour of the rigging and apparatus. Stash your bag, change shoes, and ask any last-minute questions.

10–25 min

Warm-up & conditioning

A guided full-body warm-up followed by beginner-friendly conditioning. This is where strength starts — no one is expected to already be fit. We build it together, move by move.

25–50 min

Get on the apparatus

Your instructor demonstrates a beginner skill, then spots you through it. Most students climb, spin, or invert for the first time in class one. Everything is coached step by step.

50–60 min

Cool down & next steps

A few minutes of stretching and a quick recap of what you learned. Your instructor will suggest the best next classes and answer questions about the New Student Special.

Class size matters. Beginner classes are capped at 8 students so your instructor can spot, correct, and encourage you personally.
