Frequently Asked Questions
The Small Group Classes are capped at 10 participants, which still keeps things personal while giving you the energy and motivation of a group setting.
The Semi-Private Sessions are capped at 5 participants, allowing for much more individualized coaching, form corrections, and programming adjustments. This format is ideal if you’re a beginner who wants to learn proper technique from the ground up, or if you’re looking to dial in on performance with highly tailored attention.
Both options give you expert guidance, but the smaller the group, the more personalized the experience.

Each class begins with a readiness check-in, where you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on your sleep, stress, and nutrition before starting the workout. This helps bring awareness and tailor the workout intensity to your recovery.
The session kicks off with a fun team warm-up and some mobility drills to get you started.
Next, we move into athletic exercises and power drills to prime the nervous system.
We then transition to the main part of the workout, focusing on strength with exercises like the deadlift, bench press, or squat to improve both strength and form.
The session concludes with accessory work aimed at muscle building.
At the end of the workout, you’ll reflect on your wins and opportunities and make notes for the next session.
