No. You do not need to be fit to start. Many members join with little or no recent training experience. What matters most is your willingness to show up and put in the effort. Our coaches meet you where you are and help you build strength and confidence at a pace that makes sense for you.
If you want extra support at the beginning, the Six-Week Intro Program is a great place to start.

The best program depends on your experience, goals, and comfort level. Some people start with the Six-Week Intro Program, others join group fitness classes, and some prefer more specialized programs like weightlifting or casual outings with the 306 Ruck Club.
If you are unsure, our coaches can help guide you toward the best option.
