OnRamp that feels human

Begin individually—or bring someone with you.

Both options teach the same foundations. Start Together simply lets two people learn, encourage one another and enter the community side by side.

Individual

Your pace. Your starting point.

Four focused sessions with one coach, including movement, scaling, mobility and gym orientation.

  • Four one-on-one sessions
  • Four-pillar guidance
  • Coach matched to your availability
Start Together

A familiar face beside you.

Bring a friend, partner, coworker or family member through the four-session foundation together.

  • Shared scheduling
  • Separate goals and modifications
  • Built-in encouragement and accountability
Already have relevant experience?

Three or more months of recent coaching in barbell, Olympic lifting, gymnastics and scaling may qualify you to begin in classes. Nomad reviews every training history and may suggest a refresher when it protects your experience and the class.
