Member notes
What the crew says
I walked in out of shape and scared. Six months later I am doing things I never thought I could. The coaches never let you quit.
It feels like family. Someone notices when you skip a day and someone cheers when you finish last.
Great programming and zero ego. Beginners and pros train in the same room.

Do I need to be in shape to start?

Water, a towel and clothes you can move in. Flat soled shoes are best. We have all the equipment.
