How to Launch POUND Classes at Your Gym or Studio

POUND is a high-energy, drumming-inspired fitness program designed to build strength, improve coordination, and bring communities together through music. It combines cardio, conditioning, and strength training with the use of Ripstix, our signature equipment, for a full-body workout that’s as fun as it is effective.

Step 1: Sign Up for Free

Becoming a POUND venue is simple and completely free! Sign up and start the process to bring POUND to your gym or studio with no upfront fees or ongoing costs.

Step 2: Get a Licensed Instructor

You’ll need a licensed instructor to teach POUND classes at your venue. If you don’t have one already, we can help you connect with one or even train an existing team member to become a licensed instructor.

Step 3: Access The Label

Once your instructor is licensed, they’ll gain access to The Label, a dedicated platform designed specifically for POUND venues. The Label includes everything you need to successfully launch and grow POUND classes, from choreography and continued education to marketing materials, promotional tools, and a host of other resources.

Step 4: Order Ripstix

Ripstix are our signature equipment—a pair of lightly weighted drumsticks designed to enhance POUND workouts. Ripstix help increase intensity, boost strength, and improve coordination, all while engaging the upper body. As part of The Label, you’ll have easy access to order Ripstix to equip your instructor and your members for class.

Step 5: Launch POUND Classes

Once you have your instructor and Ripstix, it’s time to start offering POUND classes at your gym or studio!

Step 6: Ongoing Support

We’re here to support you every step of the way. Whether you need more marketing ideas, additional education for your instructor, or help growing your classes, The Label and our team are here to ensure your success.
