Even better! That’s kind of the point—we’ll help you explore new experiences in a safe, supportive way.

Bring your sense of adventure, a water bottle, and comfy athletic clothes - maybe a towel. Leave the bling and zippers at home (nobody wants a rogue button in the mix). Oh, and don’t forget to sign that waiver — it’s the ticket to all the fun.
-
Athleisure is the vibe! If it works for yoga, it works here. Bare feet are ideal, so you can channel your inner ninja without slipping. If you want socks, get the grippy ones. Avoid baggy stuff that might turn into a DIY parachute mid-roll. Longsleeves and pants are great too! Avoid zippers or too many buttons - you can scratch eachother and tear the mats.

Other programs might give you a PowerPoint, some awkward icebreakers, and a trust fall. We give you adrenaline, laughter, and skills you can actually use. This is about hands-on challenges that stick with you long after the session ends - maybe you discover your inner action hero. By tapping into experiences like stress, vulnerability, and problem-solving under pressure, we help teams form deeper connections that last well beyond the workshop.

We adapt to everyone’s fitness levels, so whether you’re a marathon runner or a marathon napper, you’ll find the perfect balance of challenge and fun.
-
Not even a little. We’ll guide you through every step with beginner-friendly moves that focus on technique, not brute strength. We promise plenty of support and encouragement from our team.

We can come to you, meet at an offsite venue, or welcome you to our Training Ground HQ on Newbury Street in Boston. Exact details will be shared when you book—surprises are for the workshop, not the logistics! Custom options are available depending on your team’s needs.

-
We’ve got hydration stations covered—so bring your trusty water bottle. Hungry? Let us know in advance, and we’ll chat about snacks or catering options. BYO snacks are also totally cool!
