Program 07 — Ground
Start whereyou are.
Low-impact strength for beginners, returners and the 55-plus. Every body starts somewhere.
Foundation training
Ground is SOMA's foundation program: low-impact strength, balance and capacity work for people starting late, starting again, or managing a body that has opinions. It is the most important room in the club.
The work.
Sessions are seated, supported and scaled — bands, light dumbbells, patient coaching. Members graduate to Iron and Flow on their own timeline, or stay on Ground forever. Both are wins.
Start where you are.
Three formats.
