Question 1

Can I try LIFT before joining?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our intro offer is four weeks of unlimited group classes for $49, which then continues as a 3x per week membership at $189/month unless you cancel. Sign up on the 4-weeks page and a coach will call to welcome you and get your first class on the schedule. Just show up a few minutes early and we’ll get you set up.

Question 2

Do I need any experience to start?

Accepted Answer

None at all. LIFT is designed for all fitness levels, from complete beginners to seasoned athletes. Every movement is coached and scaled to where you are right now.

Question 3

What should I bring to my first class?

Accepted Answer

Just bring water and arrive about 5 minutes early so we can get you settled. We have everything else: equipment, coaching, and a welcoming community.

Question 4

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Wear comfortable workout clothes and athletic shoes appropriate for lifting. Flat-soled shoes (like Converse) are ideal for strength training if you have them, but any athletic shoe works.

Question 5

Is there a contract or commitment?

Accepted Answer

Memberships are ongoing with a 1-month minimum term, paid on the 1st of each month. To cancel, give 7 days' written notice. Class packs don't renew.

Question 6

What is the LIFT.Human class?

Accepted Answer

LIFT.Human is our signature coach-led small group strength class. It blends functional and traditional strength training with a variety of modalities, built around progressive, measurable programming. It's suitable for all fitness levels, and developing proper form is always the first priority.

Question 7

What does the programming look like?

Accepted Answer

The programming mixes strength training, conditioning, and functional movement. It's progressive, meaning each cycle builds on the last, and measurable, so you can track real improvement over time.

Question 8

How often does the programming change?

Accepted Answer

Programming cycles are updated regularly to prevent plateaus and keep training varied and engaging. Your coach will guide you through each phase.

Question 9

What if I can't do a particular exercise, or it hurts?

Accepted Answer

Tell your coach before class. All exercises can be modified or substituted. Our coaches are experienced at scaling movements for injuries, limitations, or skill level. You should never push through pain.

Question 10

Is there a coach in every class?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every LIFT class is coach-led. No pre-recorded videos, no self-guided workouts. A certified coach runs every session, manages form, provides corrections, and keeps the energy up.

Question 11

How big are the classes?

Accepted Answer

We keep class sizes intentionally small so every member gets individual coaching attention. This is the core of what makes LIFT different from a regular gym.

Question 12

What is Olympic Lifting class?
