Build your confidence in the gym and learn lifting techniques! 🏋️‍♀️

Group One

Where: TeamUCL Gym, 3rd Floor, Bloomsbury Theatre Building, 15 Gordon Street, London WC1H 0AH

When: Wednesday 7 May, Wednesday 14 May, Wednesday 21 May, Wednesday 28 May, Wednesday 4 June and Wednesday 11 June.

Instructor: Faiza Siyad

Time: 07:30 – 08:30am (during the Women Only Hours in Bloomsbury Fitness)

Cost: £25 (this includes all 6 sessions)

What's included in the cost: 1 hour of coaching each week for 6 weeks.

What to expect from the sessions: Over the 6-week programme, we will build a foundation for your strength training journey by covering all of the main free weight exercises, focussing on safe technique. Starting from warming up and setting up the rack for squats or the barbell for a hip thrust, we will continue to build onto your lifting skills with exercises such as deadlifts, Bulgarian split squats, bench press, and shoulder press to name a few, using both barbells and dumbbells. The goal is to support you in feeling strong and confident doing your own lifting sessions in the future, and maybe even taking up a strength sport like powerlifting! 

Please note: When you purchase the six week block of sessions, we have an expectation that you attend all six sessions. Please ensure you are able to commit to attending all six sessions before you sign up. Spaces will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.

What to bring: Please wear flat trainers if possible (for example Converse or Nike Air Forces) and bring a water bottle with you.
