Topics Covered:
Can I scale the workout if I can’t keep up with the pace?
Yes — you are encouraged to scale up or down to adjust to your level. Coaches generally suggest standard, beginner and advanced alternatives for the excercises you'll peform. If you'd like to further scale but aren't sure how, reach out to your coach and ask for alternatives that work for you. The goal is to sustain effort at your level.
What should I do if I feel the workout is too intense for me?
Our workouts may feel different from the ones you know, which is part of what makes them great! Your first workout may feel challenging and a lot of things may feel new - that's normal and part of the process. Take your first workout to get familiar with the equipment, the methodology and if you're feeling too challenged, take it easy. Reduce the amount of repetitions, lower your weights or simply take a pause, it's all valid and welcome!
What if I can’t follow the pace the coach sets?
That’s completely fine. Coaches sets a guide pace, but you’re always encouraged to adjust speed, load, or reps to match your level. You can slow down, take extra rest, or modify the movement — the goal is to train at an intensity that works for you.
Is it okay to take breaks during a workout?
Yes — workouts include built-in rest periods between sets and rounds, which vary by format. If you need extra recovery, you can always pause earlier or skip a set while staying at your station and rejoin when you’re ready.
What signs should tell me to slow down or stop?
If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, nauseous, unusually short of breath, or experience sharp pain, it’s a sign to slow down or stop. Workouts should feel challenging, but never painful or excessive — if you’re unable to recover between efforts or something feels off, take extra rest, lower your pace or load, and let a coach know.
What should I do if I feel dizzy, lightheaded, or unwell during a workout?
Stop exercising, take a break, and let a coach know right away.
