Want to lift with confidence and don’t know where to start?
Explore our 5-week course that treats strength training as a skill, giving you the tools to lift safely and effectively for years to come. With an emphasis on building a strong mind-muscle connection, you’ll learn how to engage the right muscles, move with control, and lift with confidence.
Through hands-on coaching, you’ll put these skills into practice with a structured workout that explores these movement patterns and safe progressions. Your instructor will guide you in challenging yourself appropriately while ensuring each exercise feels right for your body.
By the end of the course, you’ll not only understand the make-up of a full-body workout but also how to listen to your body, adjust movements as needed, and train with confidence. You’ll leave feeling ready to keep progressing on your own.
You Will
Build a Strong Foundation – Understand the key movement patterns—push, pull, squat, and hinge—that make up the core of strength training.
Find Your Confidence in Strength – Learn to handle equipment with ease, surrounded by a supportive group of fellow beginners.
Train in a Way That Fits You – Get hands-on coaching with personalized cues and modifications tailored to your body and needs.
Two Course Options
No matter which course you choose, you’ll learn to lift with proper form, feel comfortable using gym equipment, and gain the confidence to train independently.
