Asked Questions
“I’ve never trained anything before. Can I start?”
Absolutely. Most of our students are beginners. We’ll guide you step-by-step and match you with the right partners so you feel safe and supported.
“I’m out of shape. Will I be able to keep up?”
Yes. You don’t need to get in shape first. Training here is how you get in shape. You can go at your own pace, and we’ll help you build up gradually.
“Is it safe for beginners and women?”
Safety and respect come first. We maintain a controlled, ego-free environment where especially beginners and women are protected and treated with respect.
“What do I wear for my first class?”
Comfortable workout clothes are fine for your first visit (T-shirt and shorts or leggings). If you already have a uniform, bring it. If not, we’ll guide you on what to get next.
“How long until I start feeling results?”
Most people feel a difference in confidence, energy and stress levels within the first few weeks. Technical progress comes step-by-step, and we’ll help you see your growth from class to class.
