Not at all. The course is set up for anyone to participate in, whether a total novice or an experienced lifter. 

The course starts in January 2025 and lasts till April 2025. Our meetings take place 2x/week for 1 hour. 

We will take these 4 months to learn and progress together as a group.

After this course you will have the skills to continue strength training by yourself or you will have the confidence to join any strength training program at a gym or at home .

You can of course continue strength training with me in a 1-1 or group setting.

Lifting weights does a lot of things for women, but not among them is “bulk up.” If there’s one fitness myth that just won’t die, it’s this one: Lifting weights makes women bulky. Full stop! Women will not “bulk up” if they lift weights — even heavy ones!

Here are three reasons to stop believing that strength training makes women bulky, plus several reasons to add weightlifting to your workout routine stat.

• It’s actually insanely hard to build muscle

This is good news for some, bad news for others — it’s great news for women who are afraid of packing on too much muscle. Building muscle is a slow and long process that requires years of consistency, dedication and effort. 

• Women don’t have enough testosterone to get bulky

In general, women don’t produce as much testosterone as men. Testosterone production is a huge factor in your capacity for muscle growth, so this should automatically tell you that you won’t turn into Hulk overnight. 

• Many women don’t eat enough to build big muscles

To build muscle, you must eat more calories than you burn. You can’t grow new tissue out of nothing, so don’t expect muscle growth if you’re eating in a calorie deficit or even at maintenance. Many women don’t eat enough calories or enough protein to support significant muscle growth. 

In summary: Packing on a lot of muscle takes more calories, more protein and more testosterone than you might think. 

Women who lift weights won’t get bulky. They’ll get strong, healthy, and probably more confident. 

The pelvic floor muscles don’t work in isolation, they’re part of a team within the “deep core” and are DIRECTLY affected by weak core, glutes, hips, inner thighs, and posture- which is affected by loss of strength too! So guess what? Rehabbing and maintaining your pelvic floor function goes WAY beyond kegels and needs to include a total body focus and that is exactly what a full body progressive strength program does

 We need total body strength to support our pelvic floor and this course targets full body strength therefore also targeting pelvic floor health.

Yes – with clearance from your doctor. While we are not treating your osteoporosis, we are providing research-based tools that have been shown to improve bone mineral density.

It’s because our osteoblasts, the cells that build bone, have receptors for estrogen, so when our estrogen levels start to naturally decrease during menopause, the osteoblasts aren’t getting as much impetus to build more bone. Thankfully, we know a proven method to build bone:

Lifting heavy weights, and impact training.

You will still benefit greatly by showing up to class 1x/week. Of course life happens and sometimes you have to skip more classes .  In this case a solution can be found to make up for the missed classes.
