You are new to lifting weights and you don’t know where to start. You’d love to learn how to squat, deadlift and bench press with correct technique, but you find the typical weight room off-putting and you are not sure who to trust – do those ‘gym bros’ really know what they are doing?
You want to be stronger without getting injured, and know that you are lifting with proper technique.
And most of all, you want to be confident you’ll actually get results!

Getting Started with Building Strength
Before coming to our regular weekly classes, we invite you to complete our Intro to Powerlifting workshop. This 2-hour workshop will teach you the fundamental technique for the power lifts: squat, bench press and deadlift.
This is a pre-requisite for joining Building Strength classes, as you need a basic grounding in lifting techniques in order to participate safely. If you already have some experience with the power lifts, and have the basic technique, it’s fine to skip the workshop and move straight to classes.
The workshop is designed to accommodate complete beginners, so we will meet you where you are at. You won’t be expected to lift ‘heavy’ right away, or do anything that you are not comfortable with. You can learn technique with light weights or even with a stick. If any movements present a problem, there is generally a workaround or an alternative, so don’t worry if you feel you have movement limitations.
Here are the upcoming dates for Intro to Powerlifting. The workshop price is £35.
