Classes · What the blocks mean
Everything on the grid is one of these. Coached classes cap at eight because that’s how many people one coach can actually coach. Nobody disappears in the back row.
11 blocks a week · cap of 8
Strict work on the pull-up rig and the rings: pulls, dips, rows, holds, and the skill progressions between them. Your current progression lives in a notebook on the shelf with your name on it, not in an app.
Your first time: Every movement starts where you are: a band, a lower bar, feet on the floor. You leave with your starting progressions written down and a grip that knows it did something.
11 blocks a week · cap of 8
Conditioning on the floor lane: jump rope, carries, burpees, sprints out the roll-up door when Colorado allows it. Scored, hard, and over inside the hour. No choreography, no shouting playlist theater.
Your first time: Every piece scales by pace and distance. You finish the same workout as everyone else, sized to day one instead of day four hundred.
2 blocks a week · cap of 8
Six weeks, twice a week, the same eight people and the same coach. It’s the curriculum for your first strict pull-up and your first honest push-up: hangs, holds, rows, and the patience between them. By week six you slot into the regular classes without ceremony.
Your first time: This is the class built for you. Groups start every six weeks; the next start date is on the whiteboard, or text us and we’ll hold a spot.
3 blocks a week · cap of 8
The free-weight hour: kettlebells and a few honest barbells. Squats, hinges, presses and carries to load what the bodyweight work builds. Bodyweight first, load second; this is where the load lives.
Your first time: You’ll work with an empty bar or the light bells until the movement looks right, then load it. You leave with three numbers written down and a sore spot you expected.
7 blocks a week · no cap
The rig, the rings, the parallettes, the mats (and the loaded corner), with no class running and a coach on the floor for questions and spotting. Bring your own program or ask for one to borrow.
Your first time: Take a coached class first. The open floor assumes you already know your way around the rig, so the free first class is the better front door.
The coaches · Two of them, on purpose
Portrait slot: the real coach
Owner · head coach · 15 years coaching
Writes the bars-and-rings progressions and coaches most of the mornings. Started on a playground pull-up bar that hit twenty degrees every January, and built Splitrock so nobody has to earn their first pull-up alone in the cold.
On the floor: weekday mornings, noon bars, the loaded hour, Saturday.
Portrait slot: the real coach
Coach · engine & the six-week group · 9 years coaching
Runs the engine template and every Foundations group. Holds that the hardest rep is the front door, and coaches accordingly. Nobody gets lost in the back of his room.
On the floor: weekday evenings, the 4:30 group, Saturday.
Every class above has a free first one in it.
