The EXPERIENCE

As a prospective or new member, a friend/family of a member, or as a drop-in from out of town walking through the door, you should find your experience in our gym to be positive and memorable.

​

Each member / each class:

​

• Will be welcomed by the coach and members of the class.

• Will start class on time as a collective community, and move through the elements of the warm-up, workout, and cool down together prior to leaving and ending class one hour after starting.

• Will receive movement demo, personal scaling options and strategy tips that meet your needs as an individual so that everyone finishes the workout around the same time.

• Be coached with empathy and humility to make your class experience a positive experience that leaves you wanting to come back. Responsible coaching will ensure you are consistently working on mechanics within the desired stimulus of the workout.

• Will have the full attention of the coach and have the opportunity to ask questions.

​

• Consistently show up for yourself: We are consistent and schedule the time at the gym to improve our health, fitness, and mindset. We put in the effort, while listening to our bodies, knowing that some days we just need to show up with less intensity, but we still need to show up for ourselves.

​

• Make Progress: We strive for progress, not perfection and aim to get better 1% each day. We track our progress and acknowledge when we and others around us meet goals, no matter how small.

​
