D.F.Q. is a group fitness program that builds a mind and body ready to take on anything.

RUCK•ING [VERB] // Walking with a weighted rucksack (aka backpack). It implies action, energy, and purpose. Rucking requires strength, endurance, and character — and builds it, too.

F.A.Q.

What are these workouts like?
You should expect to ruck ~2-3km each workout with stops along the way to complete a variety of workouts. You might get a heavy dose of push-ups and squats one day, burpees and swings another, and hill work the next. Everything we do in these workouts is meant to get you out of your comfort zone.

You'll want to quit, but with the support of the group, you won't. You'll get through and leave tougher than before.

Is there any running?
Not really, no. There may be some short bouts of ruck jogging, maybe a hill sprint or two, but this is not a running program by any means.

Is this like a Spartan Race? Are there any obstacles?
No, not at all. Though this program is an incredible way to help you prepare for a Spartan Race, there are no obstacles throughout our rucks. We will do a lot of exercises, but will not be climbing ropes or swinging through monkey bars.

What if I can't do something due to an injury?
No worries. All of our workouts are scalable and adjustable. If there is an exercise or movement you're not comfortable doing, we'll help you find a replacement.

What should I wear for shoes?
Trail shoes, like the Salomon Speedcross, or winter running shoes, like the VJ Ice Hero or IceBug BUGrip, tend to work best. However, we've had individuals succeed with hiking and winter boots. It really comes down to personal preference here.

How do I dress for this?
Layers. It might be quite chilly when we get started, but you'll quickly warm up. Dressing in layers is always best. Thankfully you'll have your rucksack with you to hold anything taken off during the workout.
