Chapters

Find your ground

Every chapter is founded and run by the people who train in it. Weekly sessions are free, open to anyone who turns up, and follow the same standard everywhere. If your city isn't listed, that is an invitation — not a rejection.

How a chapter works

Local in every way that matters

A-ROK sets the workout and the charter. Everything else — where you meet, what language you call reps in, when you go for food afterwards — belongs to the chapter.

01

Turn up, that's it

No membership, no sign-up sheet, no trial class. Come to a session and you are in the chapter. Bring water and something you can run in.

02

Led by volunteers

Chapter leads are members who put their hand up and completed the free A-ROK lead course. They aren't paid and they aren't franchisees.

03

In public space

Most chapters meet in parks, on promenades and in community grounds — deliberately. Public space costs nothing and belongs to everybody in the city.

04

Your language

Sessions run in whatever language the chapter speaks. The standard is translated into 31 languages and we add one whenever a chapter needs it.

05

Equipment shared

Chapters pool kit. Where a chapter can't fund it, the global equipment fund covers a starter set — applied for by need, not by market size.

06

Nobody finishes alone

The session isn't over until the last member is in. Every chapter, every week, without exception. It is written into the charter for a reason.

Then found it

Two thirds of A-ROK chapters were started by someone who searched this page, found nothing, and decided that was the answer. You don't need a gym, a licence, a business plan or a single piece of equipment to begin.

  • —  No fee, ever. There is nothing to buy from us.
  • —  Free lead course, done online in your own language.
  • —  A founding kit: standards, session plans, safety guidance, artwork.
  • —  A regional mentor from a chapter that started the same way.
  • —  Equipment-fund access from your first session.

Come as you are

No fitness test, no kit list, no fee, no questions about who you are or where you're from. Just a time and a place.
