CALLING OUT MEN!

Now it's your time to shine!

Throughout our advertising and sharing of our Female Only Lifting Groups we always receive similar comments or messages along the following lines...

"why is it always female only classes?"
"is there no option for men then?"

So we have taken this constructively and decided to give you all the option you so clearly want!

We have now added 2 new BUILD (strength) classes, 2 BURN (cardio/hiit) classes and are programming 2 RECOVER (stretch/mobility) classes that are open to ALL GENDERS!

So it's your time to shine! Drop us a DM or message to get booked in for a free trial class and learn better techniques while challenging yourself to get stronger

All class memberships give you access to all sessions and training plans as well as a free gym membership to use SLW during our open gym hours

We look forward to seeing you all soon!

Keep your squats low and standards high!

It isn't just about working hard, it's about working right. We help you focus on learning the right techniques and quality of movement as well as ensuring you keep to the right intensity. It is why we are so popular with beginner lifters joining our groups and community because they know we always have the best coaches on hand to support them throughout their journey

If a movement is too new or difficult we always have the option to scale the routines and make adjustments to help bring everyone up to the same quality level, rather than forcing them through uncomfortable movements with potentially bad habits

Give your body and training the care it deserves and get yourself down to one of our BUILD classes, which focuses on all the key elements of strength training. A lifting group the way it is meant to be!

DM us if you would like to come along for a trial

How AMAZING was Saturday?

We are still running on an adrenaline buzz from seeing you all come in and smash your targets (repeatedly for many may we add).

A few years ago we ran a quick lift-off event called "Beat Your Best" when the gym first started to get up and running. A chance for some clients and members to mingle and try some heavier weights.

As you see...we have grown SUBSTANCIALLY since then 😂

A training community built on positive vibes and strength training being for everyone. It's crazy to see how much we have grown with even more of our group and 1-2-1 members unfortunately unable to attend.

At SLW we encourage everyone to get involved and enjoy training. We're a private facility and want everyone to be able to come in and train and feel the buzz around our community so if you want to get involved with this amazing bunch of people then drop us a message and come along for a visit

Now I'm going to go through what feels like 1,000,000 pictures and videos to share with you to celebrate what you all achieved :)

Keep rolling your ankle — even after it "healed"? You're not alone.
Recurring sprains happen when your ankle doesn't fully recover — and it will keep giving way unless it gets the right support.

This blog shares what causes it, how to strengthen your ankle properly, and how our Active Recovery Clinic Glasgow can help you feel steady on your feet again.

Lift-Off Notice!

Just a few days now until our Lift-Off Event! A reminder for those attending this Saturday, we are aiming for the warm up to start around 10am, so aim to arrive around 9.45am if possible.

Friends and family are welcome to come along for support or to see the event if you wis, however we do ask that any family dogs are left at home due to the volume of people that may be in attendance.

We look forward to seeing you all come along and smash your targets!
