Everyone starts somewhere, and things like current mobility and fitness levels, previous athletic experience, injuries, etc, all impact how individuals move. When you look around the class, you will quickly realize no one person moves the same 🙂 Plus, everyone in this specific class will be new to Animal Flow as well.

I encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone and enjoy the process instead of worrying about how you look doing it. Ultimately, everyone is there to have some FUN and better their health and fitness.

This class is open to all levels of fitness. Because this session is designed for individuals NEW to Animal Flow, we will be working from the “ground up” when it comes to skills and will make sure we’re working at a pace that suits the small group’s needs.

Please keep in mind that Animal Flow does require a decent amount of volume on wrists and shoulders. If you are not comfortable supporting your bodyweight in something like a plank, please shoot me an email at [email protected] and we’ll discuss if it’s a fit or if another one-on-one option may be better suited for you 🙂

Each class builds on the next, so showing up for each of the 4 sessions will definitely be important / encouraged.

However, I also know that life happens! If you miss a class, just shoot me a message and I’ll send you some tutorial videos so that you can practice on your own before the next session.

Payment Policies:

This 4-week program requires full payment prior to the start of the session. HST (13%) applies to all listed prices.

• A full refund may be provided up to 10 days from program start date. Within 10 business days, participants are encouraged to find someone (a gym buddy!) you might want to take over your spot. 

Other Policies:

• Sessions will start right at the designated start time, meaning participants are encouraged to arrive at the gym 5-10 minutes prior to use washrooms, change, etc.
• Late policy: It happens (all good)! However, the wrist mobilization and stretching at the beginning of each session is really important for keeping participants moving well and safely through the sessions. If participants are late and miss the stretching, they may be asked to do some extra stretching prior to jumping in with the rest of the class.
• Respect & Inclusion: This is an inclusive training environment. J2N will not tolerate any discrimination, disrespect or negativity towards any other participants or your Coach. J2N has the right to remove a participant from the program if deemed to not be meeting this policy.
• Host Gym: Participants must adhere to CrossFit Pickerings rules and policies while on their premises.

Should J2N and CrossFit Pickering’s policies not be met, the participant may be asked to leave or discontinue the program.

I’m sorry! Drop-ins are not available for this program. 

Seeing participants weekly is an important part of this program as it allows for consistency, as well as for a proper building and progressive learning experience. Please keep your eye out for a future session that might work for you, or get in touch about some private or semi-private training options.

If the session cap is not full and you are coming with Animal Flow experience, please email [email protected] to discuss further.

After the program, J2N Fitness has a few program options should you like to continue your Animal Flow practice, including:

• Join J2N’s on-demand platform with a full library of AF tutorials and sessions, or continue practicing based on the videos you received during the program

If the session is full, you may email [email protected] to join the waitlist. When another beginner program is announced, you will be the first to know!

J2N also offers online and in-person Animal Flow options (private and semi-private lessons), so we can discuss if other options may work for you if you’re eager to start your Animal Flow journey right away.
