SYNC.

No. You don't need any previous rebounding or trampoline experience. SYNC Foundations is designed to introduce you to the rebounder, the basic movements, and the way we move through a class before you progress into the regular SYNC classes.

SYNC Foundations is the 30-minute starting point for new students. You'll learn the rebounder, basic movement patterns, positioning, rhythm, and the movement language we use in SYNC. Foundations gives you time to get comfortable before moving into Flow and the more advanced levels.

SYNC is a rebound-based cardio and movement class where movements are choreographed to music. Instead of staring at a clock and thinking about how long you've been exercising, you're following the song, finding the rhythm, and coordinating your hands, feet, and body. It can feel a little more like learning a dance than doing a traditional cardio workout.

But SYNC isn't just bouncing on a rebounder. The movements are intentionally chosen to gradually build your movement skills, coordination, awareness, and stamina. As you progress, the classes introduce new movement patterns and challenges that ask your body and attention to work together in different ways—without giving away all the surprises that come with the higher levels.

Everyone new to SYNC starts with SYNC Foundations. From there, the progression is Foundations → Flow → Elevate → Mastery. Each level builds on skills from the one before it, and you'll move forward once you're comfortable with the skills needed for the next level. You don't need to figure out which class you're ready for on your own—we'll help guide you through the progression.

SYNC classes are held at Way Show Er Sanctuary in El Sobrante, California, serving our local East Bay community. Classes take place inside our studio at 435 Valley View Rd, Suite 100, with free off-street parking available.

Rebounding provides a softer landing surface than activities like running on pavement or a treadmill. The rebounders used for SYNC use an elastic resistance system rather than traditional metal springs, which helps create a smoother, more cushioned feel underfoot. That can make rebounding feel gentler on the knees and joints while still providing an active cardio workout.

Everyone's body is different, though. If you have an injury, joint replacement, or medical concern that could affect exercise, talk with your healthcare professional before participating and let your instructor know before class.

No. Coordination is something we work on, not something you're expected to arrive with. SYNC starts with manageable movement patterns and gradually introduces more coordination as you become comfortable. Losing the rhythm, getting your hands and feet mixed up, and laughing about it are all part of learning.

Yes. If you're more comfortable using a handlebar for additional stability, let us know. The goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident while you're learning the rebounder and the movements.

Wear comfortable workout clothes that let you move freely. You don't need anything elaborate—dress for an active cardio and movement class and for whatever helps you feel comfortable moving.

Bring water and anything you normally like to have with you for a workout. The rebounders and equipment used for class are provided at the studio.

That's okay. You don't need to “get in shape” before starting SYNC. Foundations exists specifically to give you a manageable introduction before you progress into longer classes. You can learn the movements, build stamina over time, and progress at an appropriate pace.

An injury or joint replacement doesn't automatically tell us whether SYNC is appropriate for you. Bodies, injuries, surgeries, and recovery are different from person to person. Talk with your healthcare professional about whether rebounding exercise is appropriate for you, and let your instructor know about any relevant limitations before class.
