Frequently asked

Training

• Do I need boxing experience to train with Pouyan?

  Not at all. Whether you've never thrown a punch or you've been training for years, sessions are tailored to your exact skill level. Pouyan coaches complete beginners through competitive fighters.

• Are the group HIIT classes suitable for beginners?

  Yes. All fitness levels are welcome. The class is high-intensity but fully scalable. Pouyan and his team will ensure you're working at the right level for your ability.

• What should I bring to my first session?

  For personal training: water bottle, small towel, and appropriate workout clothes and footwear. For boxing training or group classes: the same, plus boxing gloves and hand wraps if you have them. If you don't have gloves or wraps, no problem. They'll be provided.

• What ages do you train?

  All ages are welcome. Pouyan works with clients from teens through to seniors, adjusting every program to suit the individual.

• Can you train around an injury or physical limitation?

  Yes. Pouyan builds custom training plans designed to work around injuries and limitations. Please mention any injuries when booking your free consult so sessions can be designed appropriately from day one.

Booking & Scheduling

• What is your cancellation policy?

  We ask for 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Life happens though. Just reach out and we'll always work with you.

• What if Pouyan needs to cancel a session?

  It happens occasionally. We'll always contact you as early as possible and work with you to reschedule at a time that suits you.

• Can I pause my recurring booking if I'm away or need a break?

  Yes, recurring bookings can be paused. Just get in touch with enough notice and we'll sort it out.

• What does the free consult include?

  For 1-on-1 personal training or boxing coaching, the free consult is an in-person meeting at the relevant facility. We'll tour the space, talk through your goals and current fitness level, and walk you through exactly what a session would look like. No workout, no pressure. Just a conversation to make sure we're the right fit for you.

• Do I need to book a consult before trying the group HIIT classes?

  No. Just show up. At $30 a class with no commitment, the best way to experience it is to jump in. If it's not the best workout you've had all week, we'll refund you.
