Before your first class
Questions beginners ask
I have never trained. Where do I start?
Start with the class finder. It suggests one class for you and the next times it runs, and your first class is free. Complete beginners often start with the weekend Essentials 1.0 class.
What should I wear to my first class?
Comfortable workout clothes and a water bottle. We lend you a gi if the class needs one.
Do I need to be fit?
No. Every class is built for people who are starting where you are, and you train at your own pace.
