04Questions

First visit questions.

01

Do I need to be fit to start?

No. Most members start with little or no training. Your coach starts where you are.

02

Is the first session really free?

Yes. Your first session at Tough Tribes is free and coach-led, with no joining fee on the day.

03

Can I bring a friend?

Yes. Book a free trial for each of you, or tell us on WhatsApp, and a coach will train you together.

04

What if I feel sore after?

Some soreness for a day or two is normal after a first session. Keep moving, drink water and tell your coach so the next session can be adjusted.

05

Can I visit just to see the gym?

Yes. Drop in Monday to Saturday, 5 AM to 10 PM (Ponmeni also opens Sunday, 6 AM to 1 PM), and a coach will show you around.
