“I completed the 6 week Welcome to Weights program last month and it was such a great introduction into lifting and strength training. Emily is so welcoming and helpful for someone new to training like me. Would definitely recommend if you're interested in a calm and friendly atmosphere for your training”— Sarah
What will you learn?
We'll cover the fundamentals of strength training, including:
Why strength training matters for health and longevity.
How to use gym equipment and free weights.
Squatting, hinging, pushing and pulling.
Breathing and bracing.
How to choose appropriate weights.
How to follow a program and gradually get stronger.
How to continue your strength training after the course.
Each session builds on the previous one, with time to practise, ask questions and get individual coaching.
Our Welcome to Weights program is perfect if you have been curious about strength training but haven’t known where to start. We will have time to answer any questions you may have along the way.
Curious about strength training but not sure where to start? You're in the right place.
Welcome to Weights is designed for people who want to learn how to lift weights in a welcoming, supportive environment.
It's a good fit if:
You've never lifted weights before.
You haven't been to a gym in years and want to learn again.
You'd like to understand what you're doing rather than just follow along.
You want to build strength for your health, independence and everyday activities.
You'd feel more comfortable learning in a small group with individual coaching.
No previous strength training experience is necessary, and there's no assumed level of fitness. We'll meet you where you are.
