An 8-Week Course Designed for Women
Strength training can feel intimidating if you’re new to it. Maybe you’ve been curious about lifting weights but don’t know where to start. Or maybe you’ve heard that strength training is important as you age, but the gym feels overwhelming, and you’re not sure what’s right for your body.
You’re not alone. Many women feel hesitant about strength training, unsure of how to begin or worried about doing it “wrong.” But here’s the truth: strength training is one of the most powerful ways to support your body, build resilience, and boost confidence—at any stage of life.
That’s why we’ve created Basic Strength, an 8-week in-person course designed to help women build a solid foundation in strength training, without intimidation or guesswork.
No prior experience? No problem. This course is designed for beginners, guiding you step-by-step through fundamental movements and safe, effective techniques. You’ll leave feeling strong, capable, and ready to keep progressing.
Why Strength Training is Essential for Women
Strength training isn’t just about lifting weights—it’s about building a foundation for lifelong health. Whether you want to feel stronger in daily life, improve your posture, prevent injuries, or simply feel more confident in your body, learning how to train properly is key.
Some of the benefits of strength training include:
Increased muscle strength and endurance Improved bone density (critical as we age!) Better posture and joint health Enhanced metabolism and energy levels Boosted confidence and body awareness
Despite these benefits, many women hesitate to start because they don’t know where to begin, worry about injury, or feel overwhelmed in gym settings. That’s why Basic Strength exists—to help you learn in a supportive, expert-led environment where you can grow at your own pace.
What You’ll Learn in Basic Strength
Over the 8-week course, you’ll work with Kelsey Karnes, physical therapist and an expert in strength training for women, to develop the skills you need to train effectively and safely.
Each session will focus on:
- Learning and practicing foundational strength exercises
- Understanding proper form to prevent injury and maximize results
- Building knowledge of how to create a balanced, sustainable routine
- Gaining confidence in your ability to lift and move with strength
This isn’t just about learning exercises—it’s about creating a foundation for movement that allows you to train with confidence, whether you continue strength training, explore other fitness styles, or simply want to move better in daily life.
