HOW TO PREPARE
What we (and other Pros) recommend to prepare you for your upcoming training:- Take a live POUND class if you can. You can find a class at poundfit.com. Be sure to introduce yourself to the Pro leading class and let them know you will be attending training in the near future - we’re sure they’ll be eager to share their training day story. : )
- Get active on socials. More than just a like or follow, we invite to get closer to our online community, our POUND Posse, see first hand the power of POUND and the positive ripple effects it creates across the globe, and be inspired by others just like you. And check out the hashtag #fitnessrebels #poundfit #poundtraining
- Attend other group fitness classes. Variety is the spice of life and we can learn as humans from each and every situation we encounter. Be sure to observe and absorb each individual's teaching style and notice how the class participants interact with one another.
- Research and explore a group fitness certification. While it’s not a prerequisite, there is tremendous value in learning about the body, movement, and exercise science. Each POUND Training is accredited by world’s leading fitness organizations including ACE, AFAA, NASM, canfitpro, BCRPA, CIMSPA, and Fitness Australia. Pros also receive POUND Education Hours.
- M&M’s: Not the candy (although we like these too!) but Musicality & Mirroring. Musicality: Music is the driving force of the POUND class experience. Understanding beat and rhythm are a key components of POUND training. Practice how to find and count the 8-count in music with this video.
- Mirroring: We face our students when we teach through a concept called mirror imaging. Using the mirror image instruction style we are the audience and our students are the rockstars in their own fitness concert. When we face one another we feel bonded and connected, which allows students to push further and go harder in class. We can we see our students’ faces and make eye contact while smiling, engaging and encouraging them. And we are able to correct form as needed; this can be as simple as using your Ripstix to point to a part of your body to suggest proper form. Practice getting comfortable with your back to the mirror and moving to the left as your class moves to the right.
- Connect with us on Spotify by following our page. This will help you familiarize yourself with some of the amazing music used in POUND and to rock out to as well!
- Pack your bag the night before.
- Layered workout clothes to keep warm during lecture and cool during workouts
- An additional change of workout clothes, if desired
- A refillable water bottle and sweat towel
- Snacks, we love snacks
- The training manual downloaded to a secondary device and/or printed (optional)
- A pen and notebook for taking notes
- It’s not recommended that you wear your wedding band or sentimental rings to training. It’s best to keep any semi-precious stone jewelry at one’s home or on a necklace.
- Get a good nights sleep. 😴
- Eat breakfast. You’ll need fuel and your mind and body will thank you later.
- Allow yourself enough time to get to the training location. Know where you’re going, if there is parking, and give yourself the time to arrive with confidence and ease. Rushing can trigger unnecessary nerves and anxiety.
- Set your intention. Take a moment, honor your decision to show up, and set your intention for you day. Bring an open mind, heart, and readiness to ROCK and we’ll handle the rest.

I freaking am addicted to poundfit. Seriously I’ve never been so motivated to work out so much and keep it up. I can wait to get certified. Woohoo!!!
Roll on Galway. I am so excited for Pound Pro training. My first introduction to Pound was at Well Fest a few years ago. It is addictive and Carla is so awesome. I cannot wait to meet some new people and join the Pound family!
I have been taking a pound class for a year and a half. I love how much frustration I can get out! I cant wait to get certified but so nervouse at the same time!
Just signed up for March 2020… tazzabarrrr to be one of POUND PRO 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Just signed up for March 2020! Cannot wait to bring this class to an area that has never heard of the rockoutworkout! Took PoundFit classes last year before we moved. Was going to get certified then, but moving took over. So excited for what 2020 holds for my on instructing classes!
Just signed up cannot wait
Super excited for this weekends training session!!!!
Ready to ROCK!
Leanna zeigler yes you get ripstix when you go to the class.
I am super excited to take this class. When I first took the class dodnt know how much i would fall in love with it. A year later I have been out of the gym for far to long working 3 jobs and as soon as I got back to the class it just was a push to take it to the next step.and become a teacher.
I cant wait! I started taking the class about a year ago. Fell in love with it. I used to teach dance and gymnastics and miss teaching. Plus I’m in the process of moving to a new town no where near where I am now, so I figured it would also be a great way to meet people when I move.
Hey!! I am so excited about the training!!
I have a question though… Do they provide Ripstix for us?
SO EXCITED TO ROCK ON !! With All of you

This is so addicting! I’ve been taking classes for almost a year now with my son and absolutely love it. So it’s time for the next step, I’m nervous but very excited to get certified!
I had never heard of Pound until I recently read an article in First for Women magazine. I researched online and found a Pro training was scheduled about an hour from my home so I am signed up. This is going to be so much fun!
I have been taking a POUND class for over a year and fell in love with this workout!!! I decided 2 years ago that I was taking my life and my health back and I’m so proud of how far I’ve come and can’t wait for this next chapter! I love channeling my inner Rockstar❤️❤️
I’m super stoked! I cannot wait to meet everyone on Jan. 25th! 👏🏼

Wow! So many people! Can’t wait to be a Pound PRO! I saw this amazing program in RiminiWellness and felt in love. We have never had this program in Russia. So, Russia is coming!
I can’t wait for my POUND Pro training in March 2020! So excited!
I am really looking forward to join the POUND Pro training course. Being a group fitness instructor to the Active Aging 50+, I am very exciting to incorporate some pound workout in their fitness classes. I have already participated in a Pound Class and love the feel and music as it inspires you to MOVE.
Hi,
Looking forward to join this Pound pro event in Germany on 1st of Dec. It looks, that I got highly infected by that virus called „pound“. Since 2 years I‘m an indoor cycling power instructor, not anymore the youngest, but well filled up with rhythm and beats. Hope that the young and fresh upcoming pro‘s will excuse my slower response. As you may see, I grow up with Phil and “In the air tonight„. I would be happy to perform that in the near future. 95 beats should be ok to get wet and excited. I‘m a big fan of Spotify and Apple Music and most of the time equipped with the newest young styled Music. Music counting ist still difficult under pressure, instructing, and excited. See you in Heusenstamm. Regards Uli

POUND has been such a blast over the last 6 months! It really makes my heart move as the music plays and the Ripstix hit the group, it is truly the most fun I’ve had since I quit dancing about 20+ years ago. I’m looking forward to training in December and meeting those that share the same sentiments! I’m ready to ROCK IT!!!
Pound has been the most fun workout experience I have ever participated in. I’ve never known a one hour workout to go by so fast. Can’t wait to learn to bring the fun to others!
Very excited!!! Looking forward to this weekend!!!

I am poundfit crazy. I love it! 18 months ago, I had such bad mobility problems and chronic pain it was assumed I would be mostly bed bound by now. Now I’m loving life, pounding and training with the person who facilitated my full recovery to help others recover and when they do, I will be introducing them to the rock out workout! Peace, love and pound x
