Catchpoint Philadelphia: Professional Wrestling Training

How old do I have to be to sign up?

18

Do I need to see a doctor before signing up?

To participate in our programs, you must be able to pass a physical evaluation by your doctor to best ensure your safety as well as the safety of all our staff and clients.

Do you offer tryouts?

No. You may sign up here when you are ready.

I'm on the fence. May I tour the facility/observe training?

Yes! Prospective trainees may stop by our gym during regular hours to check out the school, observe class, and ask questions. Please be respectful towards our hard-working coaches & students during any visits!

I'm just starting out, what program should I sign up for?

Our Fundamentals of Pro Wrestling course is designed for students with very little to no prior wrestling experience. You may want to combine this program with our Foundations of Pro Wrestling fitness and professionalism course to work on strength and conditioning as well as workplace conduct and networking.

After I finish the six-week Fundamentals Program, what's next?

Fundamentals of Professional wrestling is an intensive class designed to teach you everything you need to start out. It's tailored for each individual as the course progresses. On the last day of class you will perform at an in-house event called THE FINALS. We invite your friends and family and hold the equivalent to a standard independent wrestling event featuring you and other members of the Catchpoint community where you get to have your first live matches! After THE FINALS, you get to remain in our network as graduates of the Fundamentals program!

We want our students to take ownership of their career path! Some of our graduates choose to travel and take bookings around the world. Others opt to continue their learning as a part of our Dynamic Program while they pursue their path in professional wrestling. The choice is yours!

I already have some experience wrestling or training, what program should I sign up for?

You may be interested in our Dynamic Training or Consultation programs. Dynamic Training is offered for full or part-time students while Consultation packages are available in limited capacity.

How long is the Dynamic Training program?

Dynamic Training is as long as you want it to be! The best wrestlers in the world will train in some capacity for the majority of their careers which is why we offer memberships at the monthly rate. For students visiting or looking to try a class out we offer a separate rate for drop-ins. By the fourth visit to our regular sessions the monthly price cancels out if you wish to be prorated and switch to a monthly plan. We offer discounts to those who would like to sign up for a full year. Contact or visit us for more information! train@thecatchpoint.com
