Do I need gym experience?
No. Desk Reset and Base Strength are written for a first structured block. You still sit the baseline. The loads in week 1 will be small if the battery says they should be small. What we do need is a willingness to log sets and to retest. If you want a class that starts together to music, this is the wrong room.
Can I skip the assessment?
No. The assessment is the start of the product. Open Floor still requires it. Without a baseline there is nothing to retest, and without a retest the next block is a guess. The fee is SGD 90 for 75 minutes. It is credited toward the first 4-week membership if you start within 14 days of the report.
What does 1 coach per 4 people mean?
On a coached track, a coach is responsible for four people at a time. They watch the bar, check the log, and apply the load rule. They do not run a group circuit. The floor cap is 14, so at peak there are enough coaches to hold that ratio. Open Floor is self-directed; the coach is on the floor but is not assigned to your sets.
What if I miss a session?
A booked slot can be moved once if you give at least 12 hours’ notice. After that the session is spent. We do not stack missed hours onto the next week; the block calendar does not stretch. A freeze of two weeks is available once per 12-week block if you ask in writing before it starts.
Are week 4 and week 8 holidays?
No. They are deloads: volume about 40% lower, intensity held or dropped 5%. You still attend. You still log. They exist so weeks 5–7 and 9–11 are repeatable. Skipping them is not a clever way to “do more”.
I have a niggle. Which track?
If a doctor or physiotherapist has given written clearance, Return-to-Load is the track. If they have not, we will not load the limited pattern. We can still run the screens that are allowed and mark the rest “not tested”. We do not diagnose. We do not treat. Training is exercise.
