POUND? - Rockout. Workout.

***NEW VIDEO ALERT*** When you make the decision to walk through the doors of a POUND class, you’re given the permission to come as you are. To honor what it took to get there and let go of whatever’s weighing on you that day. We walk into class as individuals with all sorts of beautiful baggage and give ourselves permission to let it go, connect to each other through rhythm and movement, to take it all out on the mat, and turn on the truest versions of ourselves. In POUND Pro training, we tell our instructors that they are the audience to their participant’s rock show. The aim isn’t merely to provide a class environment to move your body and rock out with your friends, but to allow you to unleash the inner you. To tap into your inner badass and give you the power to take the stage in class and in life. We created this video as a representation of just that–a dynamic group of individuals coming together to turn it up, turn on and take the stage of life. SEE YOU IN CLASS ?

Honored. Inspired. Grateful. Since 2018, I’ve had the privilege of being part of Central York High School’s MINI-THON—a truly incredible, student-run fundraiser that supports Four Diamonds and their mission to conquer childhood cancer. Every year, I circle this event on my calendar, and every year, I leave more inspired than the last. This year, on March 29th, I’ll once again have the honor of joining these remarkable students to share my passion for fitness and bring the energy for a cause that’s close to my heart. It’s humbling to see how dedicated these students are—spending 24 hours on their feet, working hard, staying active, and raising money for kids who need it most. As always, I’ll be bringing my own brand of energy with one hour of POUND —a powerful, drumming-inspired workout designed to get everyone moving and make some serious noise for a great cause! I’m also proud to share the stage with some incredibly talented colleagues who will lead high-energy dance fitness sessions, making sure every moment is filled with excitement and purpose. MINI-THON isn’t just an event—it’s a reminder of what can happen when passion, hard work, and community come together. The students running this event never fail to amaze me with their leadership and dedication. Thank you, Central York, for having me back again this year. I can’t wait to make some noise with you because Saturdays are for the kids! POUND? - Rockout. Workout. #FTK #MINITHON #CentralYork #FourDiamonds #FitnessWithPurpose #PoundFitness #MakeNoiseForTheKids

When the world went quiet in 2020, we turned up the volume. ?? Virtual POUND trainings were born out of a challenge—the global shutdown threatened to put a pause on instructor education, but we knew the world needed POUND more than ever. In less than a month, we reimagined the training experience, ensuring it was just as high-energy, interactive, and impactful as in person. Fast forward to today, Today, we’re back to offering in-person trainings, but virtual remains a powerful option. They’ve allowed us to connect with aspiring Pros across the globe, bringing the same passion, power, and community—no matter where you are. ??
