We run classes throughout the year
This class is aimed at those looking to get into strongman training and is also suitable for those competing or thinking about competing in strongman or strongman competitions and wanting to get used to some of the special equipment and techniques involved.
This is less of a fitness class and more aimed at strength primarily. We have a wide variety of strongman equipment which is suitable and scalable for all strength levels and all levels of experience from complete beginner to advanced competitive athletes.
Some of the events we include are atlas stones, sandbag and keg loading and carrying, farmers walk, yoke carrying, log, axle press, circus and monster dumbbells, car deadlifts, tyre flips, grip events like the Hercules hold, shield carries, block presses, to name but a few. No experience necessary but equally can cater for more advanced experienced athletes looking to refine techniques.
Group Coaching is proven to be the most effective way to get the most out of your training. However, during big classes of 12-20 people it is difficult to give each person the individual time required.
These classes are designed not just for beginners and novices wanting to get into lifting with a barbell, but also anyone looking to brush up on their technique and learn how to safely and correctly perform a whole range of barbell exercises.
We have an introductory 4 hour workshop which we ask those wanting to sign up for the classes to attend. These run every 12 weeks and will teach all necessary movements which will be used in the class sessions.
These include: Squat, Front Squat, Good Morning, Deadlift, Romanian Deadlift, Bench Press, Overhead Press, Barbell Row, Power Rack Press Ups and Power Rack Inverted Rows.
To sign up for these classes there is a 3 month minimum commitment.
We ask this, because we want people who attend to complete the full course of training and not to just dip in and out. The idea is that at the beginning you could be an absolute beginner or relative novice when it comes to lifting with a barbell but by the end of the course you will be proficient in the necessary skills to feel confident enough to go into any weight area of any gym and know what you are doing.
The initial foundation workshops are £30 per person.
There are options when it comes to the classes.
You can opt for 1, 2 or 3 Learn 2 Lift classes per week.
When you sign up, you get a team programme to follow for the 12 weeks. You also get included in the cost, gym access (standard membership is usually £55 per month and you get this included). The programme to follow requires completion of 2-3 sessions per week soo even if you only attend 1 class per week you will still need to complete at least 1 other session each week.
Your Learn 2 Lift Membership also entitles you to attend the gym’s strongman class on Saturday if you wish, plus some other additional classes at no extra cost.
We also set up a Whatsapp Support Group for each class group to share your lifts and ask questions.
These classes are primarily ideal for guiding newcomers and those less confident with lifting weights by themselves. However there are plenty of inviduals who have been training for several years who can and will benefit from fine tuning technique and expanding their training understanding.
