Ask us when you book. **What should I bring?** Clothes you can move in, training shoes and a water bottle. If you need anything else for your class, we will tell you when you book. **Do I need any experience?** No. Classes are built for beginners, and your coach adjusts the weights and moves for each person in the room. Nobody is expected to keep up with anyone else. **Which class should I start with?** Foundations is a good first class if you have never lifted. If you are not sure, tell us when you book and we will point you to the right one. **How do I cancel or change my membership?** It depends on your membership. Ask us during your trial and we will explain how changing or canceling works before you sign up for anything. **Can I try a class before I join?** Yes. Book a trial, take a coached class and see how it feels. You choose a membership afterward, only if it suits you. ## Try one class first. Book a trial, meet a coach and find out which class feels right for you. [Book a trial](https://forge-personal-training-t07.onfuture.site/contact) Group strength classes in Chicago, Illinois.
