Learning to lift, without the audience

This class exists because walking onto a gym floor for the first time is the hardest part. Forty-five minutes, women only, with the movements taught rather than assumed — squats, hinges, presses and carries, loaded to whatever is right for you that morning.

You do not need to already be strong. That is the entire point of the class.

Come once before you decide anything.
