Pound Workout - Anyone done it?
I had never heard of the Pound Workouts 'til I ran into one on YouTube. They're done with "Ripstix" (also known as drumsticks.) Apparently they've been around for several years. When I looked for classes, they're even in my city (who knew?). Here's their main website: https://poundfit.com/ and here's the workout I ran into on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ESmn3iJnQcU.
Has anyone done these?

Carol, I think Mixxie had the set awhile back. I don't remember what she thought of it. My friend has it but I don't think she's done it. But I think she went to one class and liked it enough to buy the set. I've always been interested but never bought it.

I can't hear any sound on the website? Where is the volume control?

I didn't see anything to play on the website either, Carol.

I've taken quite a few live Pound classes. It's fun but kind of gimmicky too, in my opinion. Take that with a grain of salt as I actually play the drums in real life, and this is nothing like playing drums!
The instructor really made a difference for me, I found. One gal was just wonderful and the workout was guaranteed to be fun and sweaty, while a sub she had one time was just meh and I felt like I hadn't even gone to the gym. Just FYI, live classes can be kind of loud with everyone hitting those sticks, and that can get annoying, particularly when they're not being hit in sync with the music/choreography!

It was too one sided for me, striking with the same arm.
I wanted to like it but my back did not like some of the moves. It was the only purchase return I ever did! The Revelation Wellness workouts use drumsticks often and sometimes offer free challenges in emails. https://www.youtube.com/user/revelationwell/videos Barb S

On the bottom right hand side of the screen there is a tiny speaker symbol I clicked on to turn on the volume.

I am.surprised that two gyms near me have classes. I have shoulder issues, so I could not do this workout.
