Frequently Asked Questions
What areas of the body does POUND work?
POUND is a true full body workout.
What will POUND® do for my cardio?
Large, rhythmic movements comprise our workout bass line making POUND® optimal for building aerobic fitness. Additionally, moments of intense intervals and explosive movements allow you to improve your anaerobic capacity. POUND® is a cardio challenge hidden by motivating and electric music as well as the fun of drumming.
What will POUND® do for my strength?
Squat, lunge, twist and lift your way to a stronger and leaner physique. Deep, focused movements build muscular strength and enhance muscle definition. In addition, exposure to a multitude of movements and strike patterns ups your neuro-muscular feedback loop aiding in strength gains.
What will POUND® do for my flexibility?
POUND®’s techniques progress you purposefully through 360-degrees of movement allowing you to increase your joint range of motion over time.
What other body benefits can I expect from POUND®?
Balance and core strength! Ripstix® combined with POUND® techniques keep the body consistently adapting to a shifting center of gravity throughout the workout. Over time your core will strengthen and your balance will improve as a response to the demands of the workout.
Can anyone take a POUND® class regardless of age and fitness level?
POUND® welcomes participants of any age, level, and ability and musical preference through flexible programming, diverse and exciting rhythms, exceptional instruction, and good old-fashioned fun. Our instructors implement our tiered modification system within every track to ensure that the workout suits the needs and ability of any age or level of participant.

Do you offer POUND® classes on the SURFSET board?
We’re not offering any POUND® sessions on the board at the moment. They are pretty different workouts, and not easy to integrate. Also, all POUND® venues have a unified pre-choreographed routine to adhere to, which is almost impossible on our boards. However, we’ve always liked a challenge, and things like this always inspire us. We may do something similar someday, so check back soon!
How does POUND® compare to SURFSET?
What we love about both programmes are how much fun they are! SURFSET is a more intensive exercise, due to the body control required for balancing on the board. But don’t get us wrong, POUND® can really rack up a sweat too. Ultimately, it’s like comparing surfing to dancing – both are fun, intense, and engaging, but they are altogether different beasts.
Are you the official POUND® studio in Singapore?
No, there’s no official POUND® studio or entity in Singapore. We are a registered POUND® venue and offering POUND® classes, following their lesson plans and choreography. Our instructors are also fully qualified POUND® instructors. However, our company is not formally affiliated to POUND Rockout Workout LLC, the company who owns the POUND® brand.
Can I buy the Ripstix?
Sorry, but we do not sell the Ripstix.
