4 Week Foundations
A supported start to training at USC.
If you’re thinking about getting back into training, or starting properly for the first time, Foundations is where we recommend you begin.
​
Foundations is a supported entry into USC.
It’s designed to help you ease in, build confidence and establish a routine that fits your life, without pressure or overwhelm.
What the 4 weeks actually look like

Foundations runs for four weeks and is designed to help you settle into training properly, with guidance, check-ins and support layered in at the right times.
​
Here’s how it works:
​
Before you start — Initial Consult
You’ll begin with a one-on-one consult with a USC coach.
​
This is where we:
-
Get clear on your goals and what you want from training
-
Understand your training history, injuries, or current aches and pains
-
Talk through your schedule and choose sessions that realistically fit your life
-
Note any movement modifications so coaches can support you in class
​
This sets the foundation so you’re not guessing and so our coaching team is aligned from day one.
​​
​
​
​​
Week 1 — Settle in
Your first week is about experiencing USC.​
​
You’ll start attending classes and getting familiar with:
-
How our sessions run
-
How coaching works in a group environment
-
The community and pace of training
​
​No pressure - just finding your feet.
​
​
Week 2 — First check-in
In week two, we check in.​
​
We’ll look at:
-
What's working well
-
What needs refining
-
Whether your sessions and frequency feel right
​
We’ll make small adjustments if needed and begin tracking progress.
​
​
Week 3 — Refine for the long term
This week is about sustainability.
​
We’ll:
-
Fine-tune your routine
-
Make small tweaks to keep things manageable
-
Focus on habits that support consistency
​
You’ll also book your review consult and start looking ahead.
​
​
Week 4 — Set up what’s next
In the final week, we bring it together.
​
We’ll:
-
Review progress
-
Acknowledge wins
-
Outline next steps and ongoing support
​
The goal is simple: to leave Foundations knowing exactly how to continue.
​
This isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about starting in a way that makes continuing feel natural.
Our class timetable
One of the most common questions we get is: “Will this fit my schedule?”
​
USC runs sessions across the week, including early mornings and evenings, so most people can find times that work around work and family.
​
During Foundations, we’ll help you choose 2–4 sessions per week that suit your availability and recovery.

How to get started
Getting started is simple and low-pressure:
-
Read through this page and make sure Foundations feels right for you
-
Book your start - we’ll guide you through everything else from there
​
You don’t need to prepare, “get fitter first”, or know what you’re doing.
That’s what Foundations is for.
Foundations investment
The 4 Week Foundations program is $250.
This includes your initial consult, fully coached sessions, check-ins and ongoing support throughout the four weeks.
Is Foundations right for you?
Foundations is a good fit if:
-
training has felt stop–start in the past
-
you’ve felt unsure or overwhelmed in gyms
-
you want guidance and support, not pressure
-
you care more about consistency than extremes
​
You don’t need to be confident yet.
That comes from starting.
