Strength training

Strength training uses progressive resistance — barbells, dumbbells, machines or body weight — to build muscle, bone density and metabolic health. Done two to four times a week it is the single most evidence-based intervention for healthy aging, body composition and injury prevention.

Who strength training is for

  • Beginners wanting a foundation of safe, well-coached lifting technique
  • Busy professionals who need an efficient 45-minute, 3x-per-week protocol
  • Anyone over 40 building long-term metabolic and bone health

What to expect

  • A warm-up, 3–5 main compound lifts (squat, hinge, push, pull) and accessory work
  • Coaching on technique, breathing and progressive overload week to week
  • Measurable gains in strength, posture and energy within 8–12 weeks
