FAQ
Can I do these classes if I have no training experience or experience in weightlifting?
Yes! Our coaches will teach you how to move safely and effectively and will guide you to proper weights to use in the workouts.
How is this class different from your regular Westside (WS) classes?
Our Westside classes are programmed intentionally and on a cycle so that you see improved strength and fitness week to week. Each class matters and is moving you forward in your fitness. Expect to see yourself get stronger and faster, but also be able to move onto more skilled movements that will continue to challenge you, keep your training fun, and see your fitness increase year to year. We require all new clients do the “Get Started” sessions before attending the WS classes. Learn more here.
What if I am injured, burnt out from work, or new to training?
We highly recommend the FT- Strength + Sweat class if you are coming back from an injury, burnt out at work, or new to group training. The FT- Strength + Sweat class is a full body workout that focuses a ton on unilateral balance (which prevents future injury), improved posture and core, while still getting a good sweat on and building lean muscle. Because we use dumbbells and kettlebells we can do a ton of exercises that will work around most injuries. We can also adjust workouts with weight, reps, and time so we can meet you where you’re at in your current fitness. We want you to go home feeling awesome and inspired to come back for more.
What do I wear to class?
Any type of fitness gear that feels comfortable to move in. We will be squatting so any type of pant or short that allows you to do this. Please wear gym shoes like cross trainers and bring your water bottle to stay hydrated.

In the past few months I've noticed a big difference in my health. I feel more energized, which I notice most around the "3 PM slump." I used to really crash in the afternoon, and now I feel energized throughout the day. I also was surprised how I didn't have to make any huge or drastic changes - just a couple of tips that made a big difference, so much so I lost 7% body fat! Overall I'm feeling great, strong, and happy.
