How It Works

  • One Lift, One Hour, Once a Week. Focused, digestible sessions designed to help you feel comfortable under the bar without overwhelming you.
  • Flexible Attendance. Each session stands alone. Drop in for the specific lift you want to practice, or take all three to get a solid grasp of the basics.
  • Small Group Focus (5–10 Lifters). Small class sizes ensure you get plenty of time with the bar and personalized, real-time feedback.

Workshop Schedule & Dates

  • Thursday, September 3 · 6:30–7:30 PM The Squat — Learn how to set up safely, find your ideal depth, and move with strength and control.
  • Thursday, September 10 · 6:30–7:30 PM The Bench Press — Build a solid setup, master proper bar path, and protect your shoulders.
  • Thursday, September 17 · 6:30–7:30 PM The Deadlift — Master the hinge, lift safely off the floor, and lock out with confidence.

Zero Experience Required

No prior strength training experience is needed — wear comfortable workout clothes and bring a willingness to learn. You will walk away with a strong starting foundation in each lift, a better understanding of proper technique, and a clear path toward continuing your strength journey.
