This 12 week programme has been designed specifically for people who are new to exercise and want to incorporate resistance training into their life and don't know where to start. Or maybe, you've tried incorporating weights into your gym workouts, but aren't getting results and don't know if you're doing it right. THIS IS FOR YOU.
Resistance or strength training is the key to a long and healthy life. This is not an olympic lifting course. Our 12 week programme is aimed at those who want to incorporate dumbbells, kettlebells and barbells to develop strength and confidence for a longer, healthier life.

Welcome to Your Beginner Group Training Programme.

Your complete 12 week solution to starting with weights

"Joining group training has been amazing for me. At 45, in the middle of peri-menopause I dropped 2 stone and completely changed my shape by combining group training 3 times a week with the 5:2 diet"

Our Timetable

"I turn up three times a week and get it done. I don't have to think about my workouts.

I know I need to train, but at 6.30am in the morning I am not wanting to think about the workout i should do. This is why group training works for me. The entire programme to deliver results and prevent plateau is all thought out for me. I just show up and give it my all.

Yes, It Really Works

"I love that when I can't make it to class, I can jump online and still do it."

The launch of the online workouts to compliment the face to face training has really made me up my game. Sometimes work and childcare gets in the way of getting to session, so jumping online and still getting my workout has been brilliant.

Jill

never skips training thanks to online

"Moving from Spain meant I left my trainer and my group of friends"

Joining the group training was not only great for my training, but also for the supportive community that I am now part of. I didn't think I'd find a new trainer and gym that I loved, but I did and I love how friendly the place is.

Kirsten

found a new supportive community

Maybe you've been someone who's tried to lift some weights. Maybe you've never trained at all. Either way, you can't keep doing it alone or not doing it at all. You need some motivation. Some accountability. Someone who messages you when you skipped session. We work in small groups of 8 so we notice when you don't show up for us and yourself. Not only do we help with motivation and accountability, but so does the group. This really is a 'we're in it together' kind of programme.

You're stronger than you think you are. But if you've never been pushed - in the right way - you've never found out just how fit, strong and confident you can be. That's where we step in.

Stop Thinking. Start Doing

I'm Kate, your new get-a-grip friend.

I have been in the  fitness industry since the age of 21 and worked with some of the leading lights across health and wellbeing. With roles in London, Los Angeles and New Zealand I have travelled the world developing my expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

I've previously trained with weights, but unfit now. Can I join?

Yes - if you've worked with weights, but it's been a while, you might like the refresher of going over technique and starting again.

I carry some injuries is it ok to join group training?

It completely depends on the injury. No one is perfect, so we can adapt exercises, but it's something we need to talk about first.

Can I just do one class a week or PAYG?

No, this is a group training membership. You need to commit to a minimum twice a week for 12 weeks

What happens to my sessions if I go on holiday?

This is a membership, so it includes more than just your face-to-face classes. We provide online workouts you can take away with you.

How many are in a class? Are the classes big?

There are only 8 in any class so we can keep an element of personal training. We don't do big groups

Do we have to share equipment? What's your Covid policy?

Everyone is allocated their own technogym bench that includes 5 sets of dumbbells, 3 resistance bands, a mat, a kettlebell and barbell - so you have your OWN workout station. We sometimes share the bikes and ski-ergs, but absolutely all our equipment is sprayed between people touching it - even in a live class. We did this before covid and have continued afterwards - it's just good hygiene
