WELCOME TO THE YARD
Three classes. One community. Whatever your training looks like, there's a room for it.
BONE YARD. Our signature small group session. Full body strength built around barbell lifts, accessory work, and progressive overload. The one that started it all.
YARD SALE. High intensity conditioning when you want to move fast, breathe hard, and leave it all on the floor.
BACK YARD. Focused glutes and abs work. Targeted, structured, and exactly what it says.
Every class capped at 12 or fewer, so you get real coaching in a group setting. Certified coaches, structured programming, and the community that built The Yard.
One membership works at both Downtown and Mt Pleasant. Train wherever suits you.
Find your vibe. Book through the Yard Athletics app.

Consistency beats perfection. Every time.
The all or nothing approach feels good for a week, then it's gone. What lasts is quieter one habit you can keep, movement that supports you, a routine that fits your life instead of fighting it.
Don't overhaul everything. Just start, and stay.
