Frequently asked questions.

None at all. Every class runs on progressions, so you always work at a level that is challenging but doable for you, never measured against the person next to you. If you are happy to sweat a little, laugh, and try things you have not done before, you will fit right in. Body Prep is the gentlest place to start.

Yes. Our students range from complete beginners to long-time movers, often in the same room. What they have in common is curiosity and a willingness to show up. The progressions keep you working at the right level for you, so you are never holding anyone up or being left behind.

Body Prep. It covers the joint prep, spinal work, and strength and mobility basics that everything else is built on. If another class genuinely excites you more, start there instead. The best class is the one you will actually keep coming to.

Usually, yes. We scale and modify, and movement done with attention is often one of the best things for a recovering body. Let Scott know what is going on before class and you will work around it together. If you would rather check first, send a message and we will talk it through.

Comfortable clothes you can move fully in, and a water bottle. We train barefoot for most things, so leave the shoes at the door. Come five or ten minutes early for your first class so Scott can say hello, learn a little about you, and point you to the right starting level.

Most gyms sit you on a machine and work one body part at a time. Here you build strength and range, learn to control it through skills and movement, then use it in situations you cannot plan for. It is a practice you get better at for life, not a workout you grit your teeth through. The approach explains how it fits together.

Age is not the thing that decides it. People train here across a wide range of ages, and the progressions mean the class adapts to the body you have rather than the other way round. If anything, the case for this kind of training gets stronger with age: keeping your strength, range and balance is what protects your independence later.

What matters more is where you are starting from. Someone who has been active for years and someone who has not moved much in a decade will both do fine in a group class. If it has been closer to thirty years, or you are dealing with pain, or you feel genuinely nervous about moving at all, a group class is not the kindest place to begin. See the next question.

We are also considering a class specifically for people over 45 or 50, at a pace that suits starting later. If that sounds like what you have been looking for, email us and we will let you know if it happens.

One to one, or Morning Small Group PT. Both give you attention that a group class cannot, and both let us start at exactly the right place rather than the closest available progression. Once you are moving confidently, the group classes are there, and most people make that move sooner than they expect.

There is no minimum you need to reach first. Get in touch and we will work out the right starting point together.

Any week. Programming rotates through the year, but every session meets you at your own level, so you can begin whenever you are ready and pick up the thread from there. There is no wrong time to start.

Every class draws from the same six elements: strength training and mobility, skill practice and locomotion, and movement puzzles, games and improvisation. Not every class uses all of them, and the mix differs by class type, but the rhythm stays familiar.

Three times a week creates the most change, but once or twice still builds real progress. Try to keep the same class day and time: the familiarity of a steady routine adds up faster than you would expect. A short practice at home between classes goes a long way if you can only make it in once a week.

Nothing is lost that cannot be picked back up. Strength and range accumulate slowly and fade slowly, so a week away is nothing and a few months away leaves you re-acquiring rather than starting over. Come back to whatever class suits and pick up the thread. The progressions will still be there, and so will we.

No. That is what the class is for. Whether you have never kicked up to a wall or you are chasing a freestanding press, the class meets you where you are. The same is true of every class here: the name describes what we work on, not what you need to arrive with. See what each class involves.

Both are good first steps. The 2 Weeks Unlimited gives you fourteen days of full access to explore every class and find what fits your week. The Primer runs for 28 days and adds a private 1:1, where we set up your program, find your starting progressions, and give you a clear focus from day one. Choose the Primer if you would rather begin with direction than find your own way in.

Yes, and there are no lock-in contracts. Recurring memberships ask for a two-month minimum and two weeks' notice by email to pause or cancel. Pauses need a set return date rather than being open-ended. The full policy is in our Membership Agreement.

Yes. Concession rates apply on memberships and class packs with a valid healthcare, pension or student card. Just let us know when you sign up. See the full pricing menu.

It is a browser-based app, so there is nothing to download. You use it to track your progressions, see the current programming, and know exactly what to work on next. It comes with the Primer and with Unlimited and 8x memberships, and it is where every one-to-one program lives between sessions. See how the app works.

Two different jobs. Momence is for the business side: booking classes, managing your membership, and payments. The Totum app is for your training: your progressions, where you are up to, and what to work on next. Book in Momence, train with Totum.

It is not compulsory, but you would be leaving a lot on the table. The app holds the full calisthenics and bodyweight strength roadmap: every skill, broken into progressions, in the order that actually works. Most people never get that. They train hard and guess at what comes next, and the guessing is usually what stalls them.

In a group class it does something else too. Everyone is at a different point, and the app is how you track your own steps week to week without waiting to be told what to do.

You can train here without it, and some people do. But it is one of the most valuable things included in your membership, and it is worth using.
