It teaches you how to guide kids through rhythm‑based movement, confidence‑building activities, and interactive games that spark connection and self‑expression.

The training walks you through everything you need to feel prepared and confident. You’ll learn how to break down movement patterns, use rhythm as a teaching tool, create safe and supportive spaces for kids, and lead classes that feel joyful for every age and personality.

Can anyone take a class regardless of age, fitness level or ability?
Yes!
POUND classes are designed to be inclusive and accessible for all ages, fitness levels, and abilities.

You’re always in control of your experience, and success looks different for everyone in the room.
Always consult a healthcare professional before participating in any exercise program. Inform your Pro before class if you require any modifications specific to your body and needs.
Your Pro is there to support you. With the right adjustments, you can still tap into the rhythm, feel the energy, and be part of the experience in a way that works for your body!
