FAQ · Questions & answers
Direct answers, before the workshop.
Everything to know before reserving a seat in a weekend technique clinic, mobility lab or 6-week cohort. Still unsure? Use the enquiry form.
Do I need lifting experience to attend?
Not at all. Barbell Fundamentals, the Kettlebell Clinic and the Joint Longevity Lab welcome true beginners alongside experienced lifters cleaning up self-taught habits. With groups capped at 10, coaches scale every drill from unweighted dowels and light bells upwards.
Are workshops nonstop workouts or clinics?
They are active, hands-on coaching labs, not frantic bootcamps. You warm up thoroughly, lift meaningful working sets and break a sweat, with deliberate rest for demonstrations, form adjustments and questions.
Can I attend with a past back, knee or shoulder injury?
In most cases, yes, provided your physician or physical therapist has cleared you for general exercise. The intake form asks about prior injuries, and coaches adjust stance widths, bar heights and ranges of motion so you train comfortably.
How many participants are in each workshop?
Single-day clinics and mobility labs are capped at 10 participants and 6-week strength cohorts at 8. Private team workshops above 10 people are staffed with two coaches.
What should I wear and bring?
Athletic clothing that allows full hip and shoulder movement, and flat-soled training shoes (or grip socks) rather than thick cushioned runners. Bring a water bottle; filtered water, electrolytes, chalk and notebooks are provided.
What if I miss a session during a 6-week cohort?
Every cohort registration includes up to two complimentary make-up passes, usable in an alternate cohort time slot during the cycle or as credit towards a weekend mobility or kettlebell lab within 60 days.
Do I need a gym membership to book?
No membership is required. Every clinic and cohort runs at 123 this street, TR 12345, with flat, upfront pricing and no recurring dues. Many participants train at home or at a neighbourhood gym and come to sharpen their form.
What is the cancellation and rescheduling policy?
Transfer to another workshop date or request a full refund up to 48 hours before your clinic. Within 48 hours, registrations cannot be refunded because seats are held from a 10-seat cap, but you can always transfer your spot to a friend.
