Frequently asked questions.
WHAT KIND OF A WORKOUTS ARE THE DROPOUT FIGHT CLUB CLASSES?
Dropout group classes are a full body workout based around the fundamentals of boxing. Each class consists of 12, 3-minute rounds, with a 30 second rest in between- just like a real boxing bout. Well, except you’re only getting ½ the rest because you’re a kick ass champion who doesn’t need a full minute of downtime. Expect to burn anywhere up to 700+ calories per class as you conquer different boxing combinations, hit the assault bikes, show the medicine balls who is boss, etc.
WHAT KIND OF WORKOUTS ARE THE DROPOUT FIGHT CLUB CROSSFIT CLASSES?
Constantly varied—which is gym speak for “you won’t be doing the same workout every Tuesday until the end of time.”
Each class includes a briefing, warm-up, workout and cool-down. Most days combine strength work with a daily workout, and the programming covers different movements, intensities and time domains throughout the week.
No experience is required. Our coaches will teach the movements and adjust the workout to your ability. You’ll be challenged, but never thrown to the wolves.
DROPOUT IS POWER BY HWPO.
WHAT KIND OF WORKOUTS ARE THE DROPOUT FIGHT CLUB HYROX CLASSES?
HYROX classes prepare you for the running and functional-fitness demands of a HYROX race. Expect longer, endurance-focused workouts featuring the kinds of movements you’ll encounter on race day.
Not planning to race? That’s completely fine. You’ll still get a great conditioning workout and leave with a healthy respect for the sled.
Ahead of ALL HYROX events, we provide participating members with a specific eight-week training program.
WHAT KIND OF WORKOUTS ARE THE DROPOUT FIGHT CLUB MUSCLE AND STRENGTH CLASSES?
These classes focus on building muscle, developing strength and becoming harder to kill…figuratively, of course.
Programming cycles between muscle development and strength building phases. Each class includes a briefing, warm-up and structured workout. Your coach will demonstrate the movements, help with technique and provide spotters or assistance with forced reps when programmed.
Athletes WILL also be paired together for encouragement, accountability and someone to confirm that, yes, you absolutely have one more rep.
THIS SOUNDS AWESOME. HOW THE HECK DO I BOOK A CLASS?
Download the Dropout Fight Club App on Apple or Android and make an account. Buy classes. Voila. Or book a class online here.
OK, SO I DOWNLOADED THE APP AND BOOKED A CLASS, I’M KIND OF NERVOUS, DO I NEED TO BUY MY OWN BOXING GLOVES AND BOXING SHOES? WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Just arrive in your normal workout gear ready to sweat. No special shoes needed either.
Arrive 10 minutes early for your first class so we can wrap your hands and take you through the 6 key punches you’ll need to know for class.
You will need hand wraps, but they can be purchased for $10 at check in, but we got you covered on gloves.
I’VE NEVER BOXED BEFORE; DO I NEED EXPERIENCE?
Absolutely not! Dropout is for everyone of all levels of experience, from the Heavyweight Champions of the world to YOU!
You’ll learn everything you need to know at the beginning of every class. & don’t worry- we’re not actually punching each other here at Dropout- we got bags for that.
I’ve never lifted before. Do I need experience?
Not at all. Everyone starts somewhere, and nobody arrives knowing instinctively how to deadlift.
Before class, tell your coach about your experience level, injuries or concerns. You can also email us ahead of time. We’ll adjust the workout to your current fitness and teach you the movements along the way.
For more technical lifts, safety comes first. Your coach may simplify or substitute a movement while you build the necessary technique. You’ll still get a great workout, just without becoming a cautionary gym video.
Will CrossFit or Muscle & Strength training make me bulky?
Not unless that’s your goal—and even then, it takes some serious work.
Significant muscle growth requires consistent training, intentional nutrition and plenty of time. You won’t wake up one morning unable to fit through the door because you touched a barbell.
Most members become stronger, improve their body composition and gain confidence. If you have a specific goal, tell your coach so we can help you train toward it.
I’m already an athlete. Will boxing, CrossFit, HYROX or strength training interfere with my performance?
It shouldn’t, NOT when programmed intelligently, it can complement your sport.
Boxing and HYROX develop conditioning and endurance. CrossFit builds broad, well-rounded fitness, while Muscle & Strength training can help improve strength, power and resilience.
Our coaches can recommend appropriate classes and scaling options based on your sport, training schedule and current season. CrossFit can work well during the offseason or as a supplement to your regular training.
Many of our boxing and HYROX athletes switch to CrossFit or strength training after a fight or race. It gives them a change of pace, helps rebuild strength and keeps training interesting before the next round of highly questionable life choices.
DO I NEED A MEMBERSHIP?
There is no financial commitment here at Dropout.
You pay for the classes you want, when you want them. There are no monthly fees and there are no minimum number of classes you required to purchase.
Although studies have shown the more classes you take, the more kickass you become. But it’s totally up to you….
Memberships are available but not required.
