Strength & Resilience

A strength class and resilience class in Plymouth with a difference

A strength class and resilience class can help you take the next step

Tired of all the false starts, broken promises to yourself or just frustrated at picking up repeated small injuries when training.  Maybe you have just completed rehab and need a little help with the next phase of getting back into sport, or just work.  Sounds like you need to inject a bit of resilience into your life. 

Aimed specifically at you, this class will focus on education at the same time as practising safe exercises.  Running over eight weeks you will learn about safe mobility whilst building strength and efficiency into your movements.

After the initial 8 weeks the course where you’ve built your confidence and strength the course is designed to allow us to progress you on so you can increase the amount of weight you lift, pull and push. Exercises get more complicated and as you get to know your body better we can work with you to tailor exercises for you.
