Beginner Strength Training
A Stronger Start
Learn the basics of strength training, and feel more confident doing it.
Plenty of people are told they should be doing strength training. Far fewer are shown how to start.
Maybe you’ve never lifted anything heavier than a shopping bag. Perhaps you tried a gym once and left feeling like everyone else knew something you didn’t. Or you’ve been meaning to start for years and never quite known where to begin.
A Stronger Start is a six week introduction to strength training with me beside you in every session, so you can learn the movements properly, build confidence with load and find out what your body can do.
You don’t need experience, equipment or confidence to start. We’ll build those together.
Who is this for?
You might be:
Brand new to strength training
Coming back after a long break
Nervous about gyms
Unsure how to lift safely, or what’s right for you
Wanting to stay strong, steady and independent as you get older
Someone who’d feel better starting with a friend or partner
Simply ready to get started
Whatever your age or starting point, you don’t need to be strong or fit before you begin.
What the six weeks look like
Weeks 1 and 2: Learn the foundations.
We start with technique, using the movements that matter in everyday life: getting up from a chair, picking things up, pushing, pulling and carrying.
Weeks 3 and 4: Add load.
Once the movements feel familiar, we gradually add weight, at a pace that challenges you without overwhelming you.
Weeks 5 and 6: Progress and plan ahead.
We build on what you’ve learned, retest where you started, and talk about what comes next.
There’s a clear structure to follow, simple coaching, and every session is adjusted to how you’re moving on the day.
What’s included
Twelve one hour sessions over six weeks, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which leaves time to recover in between. You can train one to one with me, or with a friend or partner.
You’ll complete a short health questionnaire before you start, do simple tests in your first and last sessions so you can see what’s changed, and have up to seven weeks to fit in all twelve sessions in case life gets in the way.
Training with a friend or partner makes it easier to turn up, and a lot more fun.
Is this right for me?
A Stronger Start is an introduction to strength training for people who are generally able to exercise. If you’re living with a health condition, we’ll talk it through before you start, and I may ask you to check with your GP first.
If you’d benefit from more individualised, condition-specific support, my Exercise Referral & Accessible Exercise service may be a better starting point.
