Frequently Asked Questions
How old do I have to be?
You must be 18 yrs. old to join. You can be 16 yrs. of age with parents consent as long as they sign the contract agreement.
Do I have to be in shape?
You must pass a sports-physical. We need the results or a note on doctor letterhead stating you are in good physical condition per your last physical on such and such date and can participate in the sport of wrestling. Once camp starts, try to be in good physical shape with your cardio or youŐll be throwing up everywhere.
Do I need to own a car?
Yes, especially, if you are relocating from out of the area. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, students take a bus or take BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) and take a bus from BART that drops them off across the street from the school. After practice, a student can get a ride from another student to BART because the buses donŐt run by the school late at night.
How much is the Boot Camp?
The lifetime training fee is $6,000 but we offer different discounts that could get your fee down to almost half price.
How many camps do you start every year?
We only start 2 camps a year. We start new camps every JANUARY and JULY and you need to sign up for them in advance. Don't wait for the last minute or you'll get shut out and have to wait 6 months for the start of the next camp.
Do you have financing plans?
We only have 4 payment plans. They are affordable. Our monthly payment plans are $250 each month and $200 each month. When you sign up for the $250 monthly payment plan, you receive a $250 discount. Our two other plans allow you to pay your fees up-front when you sign up or on the 1st day of class and receive a huge discount.
If I choose a plan that requires a deposit, how much is the deposit?
The deposit is $500 for the discounted payment plans. For those that can't come up with a $500 deposit, the $200 monthly payment plan only requires a $200 deposit. Everyone can afford a $200 deposit.
Do you do credit checks?
No, we donŐt do credit checks. APW happens to be a good way to establish your credit because we report everything, good or bad to the credit bureaus.
Do you take everyone regardless of size?
If we didnŐt take everyone do you seriously think a Matt Hyson weighing 135 pounds who relocated from Rhode Island to California would have had a career as SPIKE DUDLEY and BROTHER RUNT?
I work so when are class times?
At APW, we try to accommodate the working class. The Beginners classes are MONDAYS and WEDNESDAYS from 6:30 pm to 9 pm. They must also attend our Promo class on the last Thursday of every month from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Once you graduate the Beginners Camp, you move onto The Semi-Pro Camp which meets on Thursdays from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
When you graduate the Semi-Pro Camp you train with the pros and are approximately 6 months from making your debut. The pros are train on show days in the afternoon and every other Thursday evening from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Of course, everyone is required to attend all APW live events because it is a learning experience for everyone. APW Live Events usually take place on Saturdays.
How long is the training and how long is each camp?
Each camp is 6 months in duration. Most students will have their first pro match before they graduate. The training program is a 2 year training program. The training fees are lifetime but we charge monthly gym dues after 2 years and/or once you make your pro debut, whichever comes first. You never stop learning in this business and we train you until you get to the next level of WWE, TNA, ECW, Japan, Mexico etcÉ
