Class notes

What each class is for.

Every program is written by our head coach on a twelve-week cycle. Mix and match — most members pair Strength with Engine.

  1. Strength

    The big lifts — squat, press, deadlift — on a twelve-week cycle that adds weight to the bar on purpose, not by accident.

    Class length
    60 min
    How often
    3× a week
    Level
    All levels
  2. Engine

    Rowers, sleds, bikes and carries. Intervals built to raise your ceiling, scored so you can see it move.

    Class length
    45 min
    How often
    2× a week
    Level
    All levels
  3. Barbell Club

    Snatch and clean & jerk, coached in small groups. Technique first; the kilos follow.

    Class length
    75 min
    How often
    2× a week
    Level
    Some lifting
  4. Foundations

    Where everyone starts. Four weeks of the movements, the language and the habits, at half the class size.

    50 min

Questions

Before your first class.

I've never lifted. Is this for me?

Most of our members started exactly there. Every class is scaled person by person, and your first week is coached one step at a time.

Do I need to book classes?

Yes — classes cap at twelve so a coach can watch every rep. Book in the member app up to seven days ahead; drop-ins can call the desk.

What should I bring?

Flat shoes, water, and something you can squat in. We have chalk, belts, lockers and showers.

Can I freeze my membership?

Any time, for up to three months a year, for travel, injury or a new baby. Just tell the desk.
