StrongHer – a revamped weightlifting course for women!

Next course starts Monday 15th April 2024.

Spend six-weeks with our expert coaches and learn everything you need to lift weights safely, efficiently and with confidence, alongside other likeminded women. We’ll teach you how to squat, deadlift, press and pull as well as loads of other essentials! By end of this six-week course, you’ll know how to perform all the main exercises needed to lift weights with confidence.

This course is designed for complete beginners, so even if you’ve never touched a weight before you’ll get along just fine. However, if you do have some experience of lifting weights, you’ll also find this course very beneficial in learning how to structure your workouts, how to lift correctly and iron out any bad habits you may have picked up!

The six-week course is priced at £127.00 and includes:

  • Two 60-minute group sessions per week (four members per group)
  • Six-week resistance and HIIT training programme
  • Core stability training
  • Benefits of lifting weights
  • How to feel more confident in the gym
  • How to structure a good warm up

Days and times:

  • Monday: 7.00pm
  • Tuesday – Friday: 8.00am and 7.00pm
  • Saturday: 10.00am
