I've never lifted a weight in my life. Is this for me?
Yes, more than anyone. Every meet starts with a trainer showing you exactly what to do, and nobody in the room assumes you know anything. Beginners are the point of this club, not a tolerated exception.
Do I need a gym membership?
No. Meets are free for club members, entry included, and you do not need a membership anywhere else to come along.
When are the meets?
See our events page for meet details.
Is this a training program or a class?
Neither. It's a club: community, routine, and people who notice when you're gone. Trainers lead the instructional segment and coach form, but what you train and how hard is up to you.
What does "health, in full" mean?
We treat body and mind as one subject. That means a consistent routine, peer support, and a social life built around showing up. It does not mean medical or mental-health care, which we're not qualified to provide and won't pretend to.
