New members always ask how long it takes. Here is an honest answer, week by week.

Weeks one and two

Everything is new and you will be sore. Come three times: two Strength base and one Mobility or Vinyasa. Learn the lifts light. Ask questions.

Weeks three and four

The soreness fades. The bar starts to feel familiar and your coach will start adding weight. This is the time to add a conditioning class if you want one.

Weeks five and six

You will notice things outside the gym first: stairs, carrying shopping, sleeping better. In week six we retest, and most people are lifting noticeably more than they started with.

After that

A new block starts, a little harder than the last. That is the rhythm, for as long as you train with us.
