So, You’re Thinking About Pursuit? Here’s Everything You Need to Know 

We see you. You’ve been scrolling through the photos of the warped wall and the giant ball pit, and you’ve thought about hitting “book” at least four times this week. But then the internal monologue kicks in: “Am I athletic enough for this? Do I need to be able to do a pull-up? What if I get stuck in the middle of an obstacle?”

First of all, take a breath.

If you’re waiting until you’re “in shape” to come to Pursuit, you’re missing the point. We didn’t build this place for elite athletes; we built it for people who are tired of the treadmill and want to remember what it feels like to just move.

Come as You Are (Literally) There is zero “gym-timidation” here. You aren’t going to find people grunting over heavy weights or staring at themselves in the mirror while you try to figure out a maze.

At Pursuit, the only thing we take seriously is the fun. Whether you can do twenty pull-ups or zero, you’re going to find plenty of things that make you feel like a total badass. And if you get stuck? You laugh, you find a different way through, or you just slide into the ball pit and try something else. There is no “wrong” way to do this.

The “Fit” Check One of the most common questions we get is: “What do I wear?” This is your chance to break out that athleisure you feel cute in. You want clothes that move with you, sure, but looking good is half the fun. A matching set, some clean sneakers, and you’re ready for the course and the camera. You don’t need specialized gear—just a pair of shoes with a decent grip and an outfit that makes you feel like the main character of your own action movie.

The First-Timer Strategy If it’s your first time, don’t feel like you have to conquer the whole course in five minutes. Here’s a pro tip: start with the things that look the most fun, not the most “challenging.”

• Hit the ball pit early. It’s the ultimate ego-dissolver.

• Race a friend on the trikes. It’s impossible to feel nervous when you’re drifting on a three-wheeler.

• Take the photos. Seriously. We built this place to be beautiful, so don’t be afraid to stop and document the win.

Bring a Friend, Not a Trainer If you’re still feeling a bit shy, bring a friend who is just as curious as you are. There’s something so much more comfortable about being a “newbie” when you have someone to laugh with when things get ridiculous. You aren’t here to train; you’re here to have a Saturday you actually remember.

Stop overthinking the “fitness” part of it. You don’t need to be a pro to play—you just need to show up. We’ll handle the rest.
