BELLE BEGINNER STRENGTH
You don't need to get fit before you start.
A 6-week coached strength course for women who are completely new to weights, the gym or strength training. Small groups of just 6, your own bench and a coach who teaches you properly - you won't be THE new girl, you'll ALL be the new girls 😉
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
So much more than how to lift a weight - every movement comes back to real life.
Squat - getting up off the sofa or the floor with ease.
Hinge - picking up the shopping, the washing basket or the grandchildren without worrying about your back.
Push - lifting your case into the overhead locker.
Pull - carrying every bag in from the car in one trip.
How to choose the right weight for you, and when it's time to go heavier.
What sets and reps actually mean, and how to lift with good technique.
How to walk into a strength class and know exactly what to do.
THE NEXT COURSE
6 coached sessions, 1 a week for 6 weeks.
Wednesdays at 5:45pm from 6 January 2027, or Saturdays at 10:30am from 9 January 2027.
Just 6 women in each group, each with your own bench.
Belle Vitale Wellness, Llanover.
£160 for the full 6 weeks

IN THEIR OWN WORDS
​
"Amazing introduction into strength training at a nice easy pace."
Teresa
​
"Absolutely fantastic! I feel I know I can lift whilst engaging my core/body so I won't injure myself. I had no idea before - & I now have some idea of what muscles I'm working or should be working with different moves - much more confident. Had no clue 6 weeks ago!"
Sarah
​
"That you will feel safe in every sense of the word. Lifting safely but also safe to learn & be yourself."

WHAT CHANGED IN EVERYDAY LIFE
