Mom and Pink Lover! We teach Olympic weightlifting, the Starting Strength program, gymnastic conditioning and metabolic conditioning (cardio) to our clients, and have them perform these exercises in a randomized "pattern", which enables your body to make efficient gains without plateauing or introducing the damage often done to the joints/body by repetitive movements. Ladies, you know all about the importance of weightlifting - let us show you the technique and help you get started - it DOES NOT MATTER if you've been out of the gym for one month, 10 years or have never been in one: we are here to help you reach YOUR fitness and nutritional goals. Ask about our beginner course if you're just getting started. If you're over 55 and want strength, balance and mobility in your life, ask about our Senior Strength Club!

And we can show you how.

If you want to build strength, you might want to rethink the amount of reps you're doing ⚠️

Women's fitness expert Dr Stacy Sims says it’s not about doing more – it’s about lifting smarter, heavier and with intent.
