Yes. Hydration = life. You will sweat. Bring a water bottle. We also have a the tap if you forget.

We’ve got parking — don’t stress. You can park right in front of The Grind or along the east side of the building. Just please avoid parking in front of the other businesses in the bay — they’ll appreciate it.

When you arrive, you’ll usually see our big bay doors open (hard to miss the good vibes). Feel free to walk in through those, or use the glass man door on the right-hand side. Either way, once inside, pop your outdoor shoes on the shelf and come say hey!

If it is full in the front- no worries! There is also parking and a bay door at the back of our building!

Yep! We recommend arriving about 10–15 minutes early — especially if it’s your first time. That gives you time to:

• Chat with your coach

• Get familiar with the space

• Ask questions (no such thing as a dumb one!)

• Shake off the nerves
  Class starts on time, and we don’t want you missing the warm-up — it’s where the magic (and mobility) begins.

Yes, and we love that for you. Come a bit early to get comfortable, meet your coach, ask questions, or just stretch. It's a no-pressure zone.

That’s literally why we exist. You don’t need to “get fit” before coming. We meet you where you're at — and every workout can be adjusted to suit you.

Nope. Not here. The Grind is full of people who remember their first day, and they’ll be the first to cheer you on (and give you a high five when the workout is done.)

We always have tunes going — always. Each coach brings their own flavor, so one day might be throwback hip-hop, the next might be heavy rock.
Have a request or a pump-up playlist you love? Tell us! We’re always open to suggestions.

Bottom line: there’s always a beat, and you’re always welcome to dance mid-WOD.

That’s okay! Every workout is scalable. We can change weights, reps, movements — you name it. You’ll get a great workout, just at your level.

Anything you can move in. Leggings, shorts, a t-shirt, whatever makes you feel good. Bonus if it’s something you can squat in without stress.

If you’re feeling the heat and the vibe — go for it. As long as you’re respectful and comfortable, we’re not here to police your layers. This is a judgment-free, body-positive zone. Just don't be surprised when you leave a sweat angel on the floor.

Yes, absolutely. If you're nervous, come hang out and observe a class. We’ll introduce you, let you ask questions, and show you what it’s all about—no burpees required.

No. You might question your life choices halfway through the workout—but then you’ll feel amazing when it’s done (scream-in-your-car-with-the-windows-down kind of amazing.)

Because it’s not just about the workout. It’s about proving to yourself you can do something hard — and having people cheer you on while you do it. You leave stronger, inside and out.

WOD = Workout of the Day. It’s the main workout portion in class. Every day is different — some are short and fast, others are longer and grindy. But all of them are scalable, and you’ll always be coached through it.

Usually anywhere from 6–20 minutes, depending on the format. You’ll warm up, work on strength or skill, then hit the WOD — and it flies by faster than you think.

Every movement can be modified. Can't do ring dips? We’ll use a box. Never bench pressed before? Dumbbells might be your jam. We’re all about making it work for you.

Nope. You lift what’s right for you. Some days that might be a barbell, other days dumbbells, a band, or even just your own bodyweight. We’ll help you build confidence over time.

It’s a rep scheme. You'll do 24 reps of a movement, then 18, then 12, then 6.
For example:
24 calories on the rower
18 bench presses
12 dips
6 more calories... etc.
It looks scary. It’s not. You’ll be coached through every part.

EMOM = Every Minute on the Minute. You do a movement (or several) at the top of each minute, then rest until the next one. It’s structured, sweaty, and sneakily fun.

AMRAP = As Many Rounds (or Reps) As Possible.
You’ll be given a time cap (like 10 minutes) and a short list of movements (like 10 push-ups, 15 squats, 20 sit-ups).
Your goal? Cycle through it as many times as you can before time’s up. It’s you vs. the clock. And yes, it burns (in the best way).

RPT = Rest-Pause Training.
It’s a strength method that includes short built-in rests to push heavier weights or get more reps.
For example:
Do 6 reps → Rest 15 seconds → Do 4 reps → Rest again → Do 2 reps.
It’s spicy, sneaky, and oddly satisfying.

“For Time” means you’re trying to complete the whole workout as fast as possible — with good form, of course.
It’s a race against yourself, not your neighbor. And yes, we’ll be cheering you through that final rep like it’s the Olympics.

RX = Prescribed.
It means you did the workout exactly as written (weights, reps, and movements).
But here’s the thing — scaling is normal and encouraged. RX is cool, but so is doing what works for your body. Progress > ego.

PushPress is our gym app and member hub — where you’ll book classes, view workouts, log your results, and check out the schedule.
It’s kind of like our digital front desk… but in your pocket.

Yes, please! Signing in ahead of time through the PushPress app helps us know who’s coming, so we can plan the best possible class.

In the PushPress app, tap “Workouts” at the bottom — you’ll see the full breakdown for the day: warm-up, strength, WOD, and sometimes extra skills or challenges. This way there are no surprises!
You can also check your past results and see how others did too (if you're into that sort of thing).

It means you can track your weights, times, or scores from the WOD. It’s a great way to see progress over time — and celebrate those PRs!

That’s where members can see who did the WOD and how they did (if they chose to log their score).
It’s not about competing — it’s about community, motivation, and cheering each other on.

You are not alone. So many people feel this way at first — and we get it. Our coaches are trained not just to teach, but to support. We’ll guide you, check in with you, and never put you on the spot. You’re allowed to go slow, ask questions, and take breaks. Your only job is to show up. We’ll take it from there.

Honestly, most people come to their first class solo. You’ll meet people naturally — over shared sweat, learning new movements, and cheering each other on. And if you’re introverted? That’s okay. There’s space for you too.

You can. You’re allowed to feel however you feel here. Step outside, pause, breathe, come back when you're ready — or don’t. This is your space, and we’re here for you either way. There’s no shame in being human.

Only if you want to. We’re about progress, not punishment. We’ll encourage you, but we’ll never force intensity. Some days you go all out, some days you just move. Both are valid.

Then you’ll get the loudest cheers — seriously. Being last just means you kept going. And around here, that’s respected more than anything.

You don’t have to be fit, confident, or fearless to join The Grind. You just have to be willing to try. And we promise: the scariest part is showing up. After that, you’ll realize we’re just a bunch of people doing our best, together.
