Step 2
What it costs if they stay.
Enrollment includes the uniform — rashguard and shorts — and it is theirs to keep.
Month to month. You can pause up to 60 days. The free class costs nothing. If they want to keep coming, you enroll at the front desk after class.
3 kids: $140 each, $420 every 4 weeks, plus $240 enrollment (uniforms included).
Questions first?
Ask us anything.
Schedule, which age group, a nervous kid, an injury. Send it here and a coach texts you back. This does not book a class.
After you book
3 things happen.
You get a confirmation
Right away, by email, with the day, time and address. A reminder follows before class.
Day 1: gym clothes only
Come in 10 minutes early and check in at the front desk — tell whoever's there it's their first class. Parents watch from the lobby.
Loved it? Enroll at the desk
Enrollment includes the uniform, theirs to keep, and the first 4 weeks are set up at the front desk after class. Not the right time? That is a fine answer.

Who's training?
"Both" builds 2 plans.
Have you trained before?
Wrestling counts as "a little."
Which sounds more like you?
The first gets the First 30. The second gets the 6-Week Course, which starts Monday, November 30 (Mondays + Wednesdays, 7:30 PM).
How old is your kid?
2 kids? Pick the younger; we'll place both.
Which nights can you actually make?
Pick 2 or more if you can. Be honest; the plan is built off this.
How did you hear about us?
Last one.
No pressure
Take week 1 of the training calendar. Free.
The first 7 days of the First 30 calendar, warm-ups included, plus the 1-page first-class guide: what to wear, which door, what the first 10 minutes look like. The 5 intro emails follow, 1 a week.
| What you get | When | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 2 classes a week for 30 days: Fundamentals, then All Levels when a coach says so | Days 1–30 | $185 |
| New Ground rashguard, yours to keep | Day 1 | $50 |
| 30-minute private lesson with a coach before your first class (beginners) | Day 1 | $100 |
| The First 30 guide + 30-day training calendar with warm-ups | Day 1 | $49 |
| A training partner, assigned, who knows how to take care of a new person | Class 2 on | — |
| Coach check-ins on day 10 and day 25 · $0 enrollment if you stay · $20 apparel credit | Days 10 & 25 | $120 |
| Bought separately | $504 | |
| The First 30 | $100 | |
$504 is what these cost bought separately. The First 30 is $100 because the goal is the 30 days, not the sale. It's 2 classes a week on purpose: that's the pace a beginner can keep, and keeping it is what the first 30 days are for.
Make all 8 classes and it pays for itself.
The First 30 is 2 classes a week, 8 in 30 days. Make all 8 and if you continue, the $100 you paid is credited to your first month of membership: $120 instead of $220. 2 a week is the pace a beginner can actually keep for a month, so the target isn't a hoop, it's the point.
There is no refund, and there is nothing to refund. If day 30 comes and this isn't for you, you keep the rashguard, you keep the guide, you keep the calendar, and you don't come back. No exit call, no fee, no "let's talk about why." We'd rather you leave with a rashguard than stay on a contract. The only way to get the $100 back is to make all 8 classes, and at that point most people don't want it back.
