FAQs
WHATʼS AN UPSHOT CLASS LIKE?
Workouts are typically short (20 minutes or less) and intense, demanding all-out physical exertion. They combine movements such as running, rowing, jumping rope, weightlifting, and gymnastics, as well as numerous body weight exercises.
Each day you show up to a new, carefully chosen WOD or “Workout of the Day.” We get you warmed up, spend some time working on coordination skills or strength, and then we jump into the workout as a group!
Afterwards weʼll typically cool down with some stretching. We keep track of your performance on each WOD so that you can see your progress over time.
IS UPSHOT ONLY FOR HARDCORE ATHLETES?
No way! Upshot is as hard as you make it.
We encourage you to push to the limits of what you can handle, but at the end of the day, itʼs up to you to make the most of your workouts.
DO I HAVE TO LOSE WEIGHT BEFORE I START?
The short answer: NO.
The most elite athlete can come to Upshot and make any workout extremely challenging. Someone who has been lounging on the couch watching TV reruns for the last six months will find it equally challenging.
Each workout is scaled for each individual. Fitness is a lifelong journey; weʼre here to get you from where you are to where you want to be as efficiently as possible.
AM I TOO OLD FOR UPSHOT WORKOUTS?
Here, even old dogs can learn new tricks.
The fundamental structure of Upshot lends itself to the development of all ages and athletic capabilities. We want to help you be a healthier, more mobile, and functional YOU.
WILL THESE EXERCISES AGGRAVATE PRIOR INJURIES?
Numerous clients have come through the doors with prior injuries or tweaks and found relief from the pain by improving their mobility (flexibility) and strengthening the muscles around the problem area.
Example: Many people neglect exercising their lower back for fear of injury. This leaves their bodies even more susceptible to injury from everyday minor mishaps. Getting to know your body and becoming more confident will provide you with a buffer of sorts that mitigates the risk of everyday injuries.

WILL I GET TOO BIG AND BULKY?
For people to get bigger, especially women, they must do two things:
1. Pick up very heavy weights frequently.
This is not something we do. Yes, we do lift heavy on some days, but this is not our main focus.
2. Eat an extremely high-calorie diet.
This is also something that we do not focus on. From a nutritional standpoint, our focus is simply on the quality of the foods we eat, not the amount. While most of our clients do experience fluctuation in weight, the change itself is mostly due to the inevitable transformation of a body being used as a storage vehicle to that of an athlete.
DO YOU ALLOW DROP-INS AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
We love drop-in guests!
It only costs $20 per class to drop-in.
We look forward to seeing you!
