How do I try a class?

It’s easy! Your initial session is free.

Choose a class that suits your schedule, book your place and come. There’s no strange sales follow-up, no pressure and no catch. It’s just an opportunity to see what we’re about, meet the coach and see if training outside is your thing. We want volunteers, not hostages.

Do I need to book, or can I just turn up?

Book in first, please.

Class sizes are kept to a sensible level, so coaching remains personal. By booking, we know you're coming. It also means the coach can welcome you properly, instead of staring out into the distance, wondering if you’re the new one.

Haven't trained in years. Am I in good enough shape to start?

Yes, of course.

Many people come to us after a long gap. That's how it is. You don’t need to “get fit first” to join. We meet you where you are, scale to fit and help you build from there.

I’m new to working out. Can I still get in?

Definitely.

Our group includes people at very different stages. Some folks haven’t exercised properly in years. Others are already active and just want a better structure, coaching, and company. You don’t have to show up prepared for everything. All you have to do is show up.

What if I’m already pretty fit? Will it still challenge me?

Yep.

The same session can be adjusted up or down depending on the individual. That might mean heavier weights, harder variations, more technical work, or less rest. If you’re already fit, you won’t be hanging around with your head under-challenged.

Will I be pushed too hard during the group sessions?

No. We coach people. We don’t flatten them.

You’ll work at the right level for you. If something feels too much, we adjust it. If it’s too easy, we move it forward. The goal is high-quality training you can come back to consistently, not one heroic session followed by a week of exhaustion.

What happens during a session?

A good mix of strength, conditioning, mobility, core work, running and loaded carries.

We use equipment like dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, deadballs, bands, ropes and bodyweight movements. It’s varied enough to be interesting, but structured enough that it all makes sense.

Will I be able to keep up?

Yes, because no one has to keep the same pace.

All of it can be scaled, tuned and coached. The vibe is encouraging, not flashy. The people are friendly, but they’re not going to hang around and compliment your lunges.

What is the average class size?

Usually, anywhere between 5 and 20 people.

This keeps the sessions social without becoming chaotic. It also means coaches can coach, not just supervise.

What do I need to bring?

Bring a bottle of water, a towel and a mat.

Wear comfortable clothes that you can move in, and shoes you don’t mind getting a bit grassy. We bring the rest

What should I wear when it’s cold?

It’s good to have layers during cold seasons.

The start can feel brisk, especially in winter, but once you get moving, you’ll warm up quickly. Most people are shedding jumpers not long into the session.

How early should I arrive for my first session?

Five to ten minutes early is perfect.

That gives you time to find us, say hello, settle in and ask anything you want before we get going.

Where do you train?

We train in Sydney’s Inner West at Camperdown and Redfern Park.

Both are proper outdoor spaces with plenty of room to move and lots of fresh air.

Where do I park?

At Camperdown, there’s parking on and around Mallett Street. At Redfern, there’s street parking around the park.

What happens if it rains?

We have access to undercover areas, so if it's raining or the weather takes a turn, we can easily move our sessions there.

What if it’s freezing outside?

You’ll probably question your choices for about ten minutes, then you’ll be fine.

Dress sensibly, wear layers and trust the warm-up. Cold weather is mostly a problem before the session starts.

Is outdoor training harder in winter?

A little bit, but mainly because leaving the house is harder.

Once you’re moving, it’s fine. And to be honest, winter is when routine matters most. The people who keep showing up through winter usually feel very pleased with themselves by spring.
