Feel the Music & Find Your Power With POUND® Classes
Experience a full-body workout that combines music, movement, and community into a fun class you’ll look forward to.
Find Joy in Every Beat
For many people, the hardest part of exercising isn't knowing it's good for them. It's finding a workout they genuinely enjoy and want to come back to. When exercise starts to feel repetitive, intimidating, or like another item on your to-do list, staying consistent becomes much harder.
POUND® offers a different experience. Combining music, movement, and rhythm, each class transforms exercise into an immersive drumming workout that feels more like play than a traditional fitness class. Whether you're new to exercise or simply looking for a fresh way to move your body, POUND® creates a welcoming environment where you can build strength, reduce stress, boost your energy, and rediscover the joy of movement.
What You’ll Experience in a POUND® Class
🏃♀️➡️ 60-Minute Full-Body Workout: Each 60-minute class combines cardio, strength, conditioning, core exercises, and stretching into one continuous workout designed to keep your body moving and your energy up. Classes are available in Swedish, Finnish, and English.
🏃♀️➡️ Music-Driven Movement: Using specially designed Ripstix®, you'll drum, move, and exercise to upbeat music that helps you stay engaged from start to finish. The combination of rhythm and movement makes the workout feel more like play than exercise.
🏃♀️➡️ Suitable for All Fitness Levels: Whether it's your first workout or you're already active, every class includes clear guidance and movement modifications so you can participate at your own pace and build confidence over time.
🏃♀️➡️ Everything You Need: Ripstix® are provided, so all you need is comfortable workout clothing. Depending on the venue, classes are held barefoot or with indoor or outdoor sports shoes.
Starting at 10 €/Person!*
*Price applies to a single class. Please get in touch for current class availability and package pricing.

“I love POUND workouts! Being outside on the lawn makes it even more energizing, and the music is absolutely fantastic. It’s such a fun way to exercise that you don’t even feel like you’re working out, and expressing yourself through drumming feels incredibly freeing. I always leave feeling uplifted and full of positive energy.”

Meet Your POUND® PRO Instructor
Hej! I'm Sara Nöjd, and my journey with POUND® began in 2020 in my hometown of Ekenäs, Finland. While visiting from Switzerland, I joined a class taught by an inspiring instructor named Charlotta Barman, and something clicked. I discovered a workout that wasn't just about fitness, but also about confidence, fun, and connection.
In 2022, I became a certified POUND PRO instructor and have been sharing this joy ever since.
POUND® has changed my life. It helped me break free from shyness, find my voice, and trust myself. Watching people come together, discover the joy of movement, and grow stronger inside and out is my favorite part of teaching POUND®.
If you're wondering whether POUND® is right for you, know that you don't need any previous experience to join. This community welcomes you as you are and encourages you to step outside your comfort zone in a fun and supportive way.
