Learn to Lift Workshops
A coached introduction to strength training - in a calm, supportive environment
Learn to Lift is my flagship small group coaching programme for women in perimenopause and beyond who want to feel stronger, more capable, and more confident using weights.
This is not a fitness class, bootcamp, or circuits session. It is a coached, structured learning experience designed specifically for women who may feel intimidated by gyms, unsure where to start, worried about injury, or lacking confidence with strength training.
Groups are kept intentionally small - a maximum of three women - so there is time for proper coaching, movement observation, individual support, and questions throughout. The focus is on understanding movement patterns properly, not rushing through exercises.
Over four weeks, you will learn the foundations of strength training through movements including squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling and carrying, alongside core stability work - using dumbbells, kettlebells, bodyweight, and resistance bands. Sessions include movement coaching, guided progressions, posture and stability work, and discussions around weight selection, tempo, reps, and progression.
Throughout the programme, I provide regular support via WhatsApp with movement reminders, form videos, technique recaps, and guidance as you need.
By the end of four weeks:
By the end of four weeks, the aim is for you to feel confident using weights, understand good technique and how to progress appropriately, and feel ready to continue strength training more independently, whether that's at home or in a gym.
4 x 1-hour weekly sessions
Maximum 3 participants
Held at Rise Above Gym, Old Sarum, Salisbury
WhatsApp support throughout

Small group coaching for women in Perimenopause and beyond, who want to feel confident with strength training
Every Learn to Lift workshop so far has sold out!
Women have joined with very different levels of experience, but the feedback has been consistent: greater confidence with strength training, a better understanding of technique and, importantly, the confidence to keep going.
Many have gone on to train independently with a personalised Progression Plan, while others have chosen to continue building their confidence through Lift with Intent or 1:1 coaching.
