Everything You Need to Know About Coaches Don’t Play

From free beach gyms to 90-day challenges, café hubs, and community support — here are answers to the most common questions about our mission, movement, and how you can be part of it.

What does CDP membership include? +

Membership unlocks full access to the CDP world — both online and on-ground. That includes:

  • Entry to all group classes at the gym
  • Full access to the 90-Day Challenge
  • Invitations to member-only events and circles
  • Discounted prices on everything we offer — food, clothing, courses, and experiences
  • Exclusive partner perks like:
    • 20% off jet ski rentals
    • Half-price lunches at local cafés
    • Surprise birthday gifts and special offers
    • Bonus invitations to off-platform experiences
  • Most of all: you get access to the knowledge, tools, and network of a global movement — real people, real coaches, real connection.

    Why do I need a membership if the gym is free? +

    The gym is free.

    But your membership supports everything around it — the classes, the platform, the people — and gives you full access to the CDP experience.

    It’s how we stay free without depending on outside investors or ads.

    How much does it cost? +

    €29/month — cancel anytime.

    No contracts, no hidden fees. Just one simple key that opens it all.

    Can I join from anywhere in the world? +

    Yes.

    Whether you’re near a CDP hub or halfway across the planet, you can join the challenge, access the platform, and connect with others from over 30+ countries.

    What if I refer a friend? +

    We reward loyalty — not just with perks, but with freedom.

    🔥 Every time you refer a new paying member, your own membership is covered — completely.

    There’s no limit to how many people you can refer.

    So if you refer just one friend? Your month is free.

    Refer five? You’re not paying for five months.

    Refer ten? You’re set for almost a year.

    The more you grow the tribe, the more the tribe supports you.

    What if I’m not ready to join yet? +

    No pressure.

    You can still follow our journey, show up to open events, or train on your own.

    But when you’re ready to go all in — membership is how we recognize your commitment.

    How do you choose your partners and perks? +

    We only work with brands and local partners who align with our values — strength, clarity, purpose, and generosity.

    Whether it’s coffee, fitness gear, restaurant deals, or workshops, every offer is handpicked to give real value to our members.

    Can I cancel anytime? +

    Yes.

    You’re free to leave, pause, or rejoin whenever you want — no penalty, no hard feelings.

    Can I gift a membership to someone else? +

    Yes — and it’s one of the most powerful things you can give.

    Gift options will soon be available to sponsor a challenge or a full month for someone you care about.

    Are children welcome as members? +

    Yes — absolutely.

    CDP is for all ages, and families are part of the movement.

    Children under X can be added to your account at no extra cost. You can add up to 2 children per adult member.

    They’ll enjoy the same perks you do — access to classes, café discounts, deals, courses and the energy of the tribe.

    Once they turn X, they can open their own account and start their own challenge journey.

    Just head to your profile, add their names, and you’re all set.

    How is this gym funded if it’s free? +

    The gym is fully supported through a hybrid model of philanthropy + marketing:

    • Local business sponsors fund events, specific classes, challenges, products, or equipment in exchange for brand visibility and marketing videos.
    • The CDP Café donates 30% of its profit after costs directly to the gym — helping pay coaches, improve gear, and expand free offerings.
    • CDP memberships support the backend (classes, coordination, content, platform).

    Everything is reinvested into keeping health free and high quality for the people.

    What is the Free Outdoor Gym? +

    It’s a professionally equipped outdoor gym open to the public, every day.

    Anyone can walk up and use the equipment or get guidance from certified coaches — no sign-up, no ID, no cost.

    Where is it and when is it open? +

    📍 Location: TBA

    🕗 Open Daily: 08:30–11:00 AM

    Classes and open sessions happen every day — rain or shine (unless weather makes it unsafe).

    What’s free and what requires a membership? +

    Free for all:

    • Full use of gym space and equipment
    • Friendly support and technique help from on-site CDP coaches
    • Open vibe, music, and community energy

    🔒 Members only:

    • All scheduled group classes (yoga, breathwork, mobility, Zumba, military workouts, etc.)
    • Participation in community challenges
    • Access to deeper coaching, discounts, events and platform tools

    💬 You can still come train even without a membership — but if you want to join classes, and enjoy the other benefits, you’ll need to register.

    Do I need to sign up or bring ID? +

    No. Just show up. The gym itself is free and open.

    If you want to join classes or events, you can register as a member at coachesdontplay.club (no need for ID here either).

    What kind of equipment is there? +
    • Pull-up bars, dip bars, rings
    • Battle ropes, resistance bands, jump ropes
    • Dumbbells and kettlebells
    • Sandbags and free weights
    • Step up boards, medicine balls
    • Mats, balance tools, recovery gear

    It’s a mix of calisthenics, mobility, strength and functional training — all on the beach.

    Who are the coaches? +

    Professionals trained in fitness, military, yoga, breathwork, and coaching. Fluent in up to 8 languages. You’ll meet faces like:

    • Kiril (ex-military, strength + structure)
    • Angela (yoga + breathwork)
    • Captain J and Michelle (coaching + leadership)

    And new rotating experts from the CDP network each season.

    Do I need to be fit or experienced to join? +

    Nope. This is for everyone.

    Beginners, returners, pros — all are welcome. Everything is scalable. Our only requirement is respect and effort.

    What’s the class schedule like? +

    📅 Updated weekly on Instagram @coachesdontplay.club

    Sample weekly flow:

    • Monday: Military Strength 08:15 · Aerobic 09:15 · Yoga 10:15
    • Tuesday: Yoga · Functional Strength · Stretch
    • Wednesday: Breathwork · Core · Zumba

    (And more throughout the week, based on coach rotation)

    What if I want to train but don’t want to be on camera? +

    Let us know when you arrive and we’ll do our best to keep you off-camera.

    That said — this is a public beach gym and part of how we keep it free is through content creation. We and others film regularly, so we can’t guarantee your face won’t appear in footage. But we absolutely respect your boundaries.

    Can I bring a friend, family member, or kids? +

    Yes — the gym is open to all ages and backgrounds.

    We’ve had 5-year-olds doing handstands and 70-year-olds in breathwork circles. Just bring water, respect, and good vibes.

    If you’re a member you can include 2 children in your membership, they will get the same benefits as you.

    Can local businesses get involved? +

    Yes. Businesses can sponsor/partner:

    • A class (e.g. “This yoga session is sponsored by [Your Brand]”)
    • A week of operations (supporting all trainers and marketing)
    • The CDP Café — where 30% of post-cost revenue goes back into funding the gym
    • Partnerships in terms of merchandise, e.g. all visitors wear a sponsor’s brand on bottles, towels, etc.

    Sponsorship comes with:

    • ✅ Brand integration into our content
    • ✅ Visibility on-site, on reels, and across CDP’s international channels
    • ✅ Association with one of Europe’s most inspiring social health projects

    📩 Reach out via Instagram or the website to start a sponsorship partnership.

    Are sessions ever canceled due to weather? +

    Only in extreme weather conditions. Otherwise, rain or shine — we train.

    Although, no matter if we train or not — we are always there.

    Always check Instagram stories for live updates.

    Why is CDP doing this for free? +

    Because we believe health is a human right — not a luxury.

    We’ve seen what happens when people train together for free:

    • Mindsets shift
    • Communities connect
    • Lives change

    This is not just a gym. It’s a movement.

    ✅ Still have questions? Message us on Instagram or stop by the gym any morning.

    We’ll see you on the sand.

    What is the 90-Day Challenge? +

    It’s CDP’s signature transformation experience.

    A 12-week journey where you commit to daily action — physically, mentally, and emotionally — and become part of a global tribe doing the same.

    You’ll grow. You’ll sweat. You’ll be seen.

    What do I have to do? +
    • Choose a physical activity you commit to daily — we host sessions you can follow, or do your own.
    • Move every day for 90 days. Doesn’t matter if it’s yoga, calisthenics, running, or dancing.
    • Post a short daily update on the CDP platform. It can be as simple as your feet on the ground.
    • Tag the challenge sponsor (if there is one) to help them see your journey and support the movement.

    That’s it. Real commitment. Real results.

    What do I gain by entering? +
    • Daily support from our team of coaches
    • Access to powerful new tools, perspectives, and ways of living
    • A tribe that actually shows up for each other
    • Discounts, special perks, and exclusive invites
    • The chance to win prizes or sponsorships, thanks to our brand partners

    But most of all? You gain momentum, discipline, and a version of yourself you’ll be proud to meet.

    Who is it for? +

    Anyone who’s tired of quitting on themselves.

    Whether you’re a beginner, returning after a long break, or a pro looking for accountability — this challenge meets you where you are.

    Is it online or in person? +

    Both.

    You can join fully online from anywhere in the world — or, if you’re near a CDP hub, join live sessions and group meetups in your city. You must post on our platform though.

    What’s included in the challenge? +
    • A full 12-week transformation structure
    • Daily training options + weekly mindset missions
    • Coaching feedback + tips
    • Entry to exclusive community threads and support groups
    • Weekly reflections, challenges, and tracking tools
    • Your own space to post, track, and reflect on the platform
    How much does it cost? +

    You can join the challenge for free with basic access.

    For full access to coaching, rewards, and platform features, a monthly membership unlocks everything.

    Can I do this if I don’t want to show my face? +

    Yes.

    Many participants start anonymously. Some post only their shoes, a corner of their mat, or a journal entry.

    You choose what to share. The key is consistency.

    What makes this different from other fitness programs? +

    This isn’t just about your body.

    We work with your habits, self-talk, discipline, trauma patterns, and language.

    We’re here to change the way you see yourself — and help you build a version you respect.

    Can I repeat the challenge? +

    Yes — many do.

    Each round brings new growth. And once you’ve completed it, you can apply to mentor others or lead your own challenge.

    Can I win something by doing this? +

    Yes.

    We collaborate with brand sponsors who offer gear, experiences, and prizes for standout challengers.

    But more importantly — you win yourself back.

    How do I join the next round? +

    Go to coachesdontplay.club, click “90-Day Challenge,” and follow the steps.

    New rounds open frequently — we’ll let you know when.

    What is the Coaches Foundation? +

    It’s the heart behind the movement.

    While the gym trains bodies and the café funds growth — the Foundation exists to catch people when life hits hardest.

    It’s the nonprofit core of Coaches Don’t Play, created to make sure no one in our community faces struggle alone.

    What kind of support does the Foundation offer? +

    It depends on the person — because no two journeys are the same. The Foundation helps with:

    • Life-impacting illness (e.g. cancer, injury, medical needs)
    • Mental health crises and recovery periods
    • Personal growth opportunities when funds are low
    • End-of-life dreams (final wishes)
    • Reintegration after trauma or hardship
    • Community members who’ve shown up consistently and now need a hand

    This isn’t just about money. It’s about showing people they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.

    How is it funded? +

    The Foundation is donation- and partnership-based. Funding comes from:

    • Direct donations from members, supporters, and events
    • A portion of café/gym-related revenue
    • Brand collaborations and partners who want to contribute to something real
    • Limited edition merch, campaigns, or crowdfunding for special stories

    It’s all channeled with care — nothing is wasted. Everything flows back into impact.

    Can I donate or contribute? +

    Yes. You can:

    • Donate directly on our platform
    • Contribute to a specific story or wish
    • Sponsor an initiative (e.g. fund a month of meals, support a cancer recovery)
    • Offer services (coaching, therapy, travel, creative work, etc.)
    • Nominate someone you believe deserves support

    Every contribution — big or small — creates real ripple effects.

    Can businesses or brands partner with the Foundation? +

    Absolutely — and it often leads to beautiful outcomes.

    Example: One of our members battling terminal cancer wanted to experience a helicopter ride before she passed.

    We partnered with a local helicopter company. They provided the experience. We filmed and shared the story. The brand received meaningful exposure — and the woman got her wish.

    This isn’t PR. This is legacy. And we’re open to any partner who wants to create it with us.

    Who decides where the help goes? +

    Our core team, together with community input and context, carefully reviews each case.

    We prioritize transparency, real impact, and making sure the right people receive what they need — in the right way, at the right time.

    We never promise more than we can give. But when we say yes, we go all in.

    Is this open to anyone, or only members? +

    Primarily, the Foundation serves members — those who’ve walked with us, shown up, and become part of this tribe.

    But in special cases, we extend support beyond — especially if it inspires the mission, educates, or brings the world closer.

    How do I nominate someone or apply for help? +

    Soon there will be a form on our site.

    For now, reach out via email or speak to a team member in person.

    We’ll guide you from there — no judgment, just conversation.

    What is Coaches Don’t Play (CDP)? +

    CDP is more than a gym. More than a brand.

    It’s a global movement built on one idea: real change should be free, human, and shared.

    We combine physical training, mental growth, and community power — through free gyms, real coaching, live challenges, café hubs, and support for those in need.

    No BS. No egos. Just action, tribe, and purpose.

    Where did the name come from? +

    The name is a statement — and a reminder.

    A coach can stand on the sideline and tell you how to play. They might know what you should do… but that doesn’t mean they could do it themselves.

    “Coaches Don’t Play” is about owning that difference — and flipping it.

    It’s about creating a space where you can learn from someone else, take feedback, and grow — while knowing that coaching and doing are not the same.

    It’s also about being humble enough to listen, brave enough to try, and strong enough to play your role in a team.

    Here, we all learn. We all teach. And no one is pretending to be perfect.

    How does it all work? +

    CDP is built as a growing ecosystem, with five core parts:

    • 🏋️‍♂️ The Free Gym – open to all, in-person training with no cost, no judgment
    • 🔥 The 90-Day Challenge – daily training commitment, filmed and shared for accountability
    • The Café Hub – a calm, powerful space for food, meetings, and community
    • 👥 The Membership – access to group classes, online platform, events, and partner deals
    • 💛 The Coaches Foundation – nonprofit support for members in crisis, illness, or need

    Everything connects. Everything grows. And everyone matters.

    Who is it for? +

    Everyone — but not everyone will say yes.

    We attract those who are tired of fake promises, done with “one day,” and ready to move.

    Young or old. Fit or not. Locals, travelers, entrepreneurs, parents, fighters, survivors.

    If you’re willing to grow, you’re already one of us.

    How is this all funded if the gym is free? +

    We’ve designed CDP like an ecosystem — where each part supports the others:

    • The café generates income (30% of its profit funds the gym)
    • Members pay a small fee (€19/month) for added access and perks
    • Sponsors, partners, and donors contribute to special projects and the Foundation
    • Events, limited merch, and our platform also help cover operational costs

    We’re transparent, lean, and proud to grow without selling out.

    Where is CDP based? +

    Our first full hub is in Torrevieja, Spain — but we already have members in 30+ countries, and we’re growing.

    More hubs will open soon in new cities — blending local roots with global reach.

    How can I join or support the movement? +

    You can:

    • Become a member (from anywhere in the world)
    • Join the challenge and commit to your own 90 days
    • Train at the free gym if you’re local
    • Visit the café and connect with the community
    • Refer friends — and train for free
    • Donate or sponsor if you believe in the mission
    • Or just show up and ask: “How can I help?”
    What makes CDP different from a normal gym or platform? +

    No contracts

    No filters

    No ego-driven coaching

    No pressure to perform for social media

    Instead, you get:

    • A real place to belong
    • Coaches who live the mission
    • Free access for anyone
    • A platform that rewards growth, not clicks
    • A community where discipline meets heart
    Do I need to be fit to start? +

    No.

    You just need to start.

    Our members include first-timers, professionals, people recovering from injury, and others rebuilding from scratch.

    We meet you where you are — and move forward together.

    What’s the deeper mission? +

    To prove that the world changes when we show up for each other.

    We’re building a new kind of health system — where transformation is accessible, community is real, and every voice matters.

    What started as a challenge became a movement. And now… it’s becoming a global force.
