The Benefits Of Strength Training

Strength training offers numerous health benefits beyond just increasing muscle mass. It enhances core strength, improves posture, and boosts overall body strength, making daily activities easier. Regular training also strengthens bones, supports joint health, and reduces the risk of injury by reinforcing functional movements.

In addition, strength training is excellent for improving metabolism, helping you burn more calories even when at rest. By engaging in a consistent program, you’ll not only feel stronger but also improve your endurance, coordination, and mobility.

Getting Started With Strength Training

If you are new to weightlifting or powerlifting, we recommend starting with our Intro to Powerlifting workshop. This class will teach you the fundamentals of strength training, including proper lifting techniques and safe equipment usage, ensuring you build muscle efficiently and with correct form.

If you haven’t lifted barbells before or performed exercises such as squats or deadlifts with an Olympic bar, completing the Intro to Powerlifting workshop is recommended before progressing to Building Strength classes.

For those who are already familiar with power lifts and confident using weights, barbells, and racks, the Building Strength class is the perfect next step to refine your technique, develop a structured training routine, and take your strength to the next level.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic introduction to the world of powerlifting! I attended weekly women’s classes and my confidence grew massively in lifting, particularly as I required multiple adjustments in technique. I hope to be able to return to these classes in the future as it was a lovely community

Such an encouraging environment, Chris was a great coach, and though I can’t continue to attend the classes because I’m not based in London at the moment, I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to give weightlifting a go.

He broke down all of the moves into manageable chunks and we were given time to practice each bit. Chris is very knowledgeable and passionate about olympic lifting which really helps! Would definitely recommend if you’re curious and keen to have a go at olympic weight lifting.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a great gym with excellent coaches and a nice and encouraging community of lifters. I've taken the ladies who lift beginners course for powerlifting, intro to strongman/strongwoman, and the intro to Olympic lifting course. Everything is broken down and made really accessible, with a focus on technique.

I was really nervous about doing any strength training at first, but the coaches are so friendly and approachable. Now I absolutely love it and come to classes regularly.
