The Firebreathers class is for everyone, just like any other workout at Pyro, you scale to your capacity. Please do not feel intimidated by this class, we want everyone to feel welcome. The nature of the class is to allow us to do workouts that logistically wouldn’t be doable in the regular class. It also allow us to program workouts that are hard to fit in the regular programming. The nature of the movements will be more difficult but it doesn’t mean you can’t scale it. What a better way to get better at the movements you can’t do than coming to classes that has them programmed? There’s no secret to it, you need to work on your weaknesses in order to be good one day. To make this as simple as possible, coming for this workout at 9am a Saturday morning when you could stay in bed makes you Firebreather.

Same as the Firebreathers class, the weightlifting is for everyone. We heard a few times already “I’m not coming to weightlifting because I want to be better at it first”. Well, we can’t stress enough, the weightlifting classes are there to make us better at weightlifting regardless of your level. Actually, the worst you are at it, the more you should come. Just like we hear about CrossFit in general, people seems to think they need to be in shape before joining. CrossFit, weightlifting, Firebreathers are all programs for to make us better, fitter and perform. There is no requirements to attend the classes. When you join Pyro, you have unlimited access, all classes, as many times as you want, you should totally come to all the classes. At least, you should do a couple regular classes, 1 or 2 weightlifting and then join in a couple Firebreather classes to get out of your comfort zone. As a community, a team, a group of people that all share the same goal to become fitter, everybody is welcome. You should share a bar with somebody, even if it means take the weights off every time, just come, you’ll have a good time guarantee. Sounds cliche but “Just do it”!!!
