BLOCK 1
Strong Foundations
Learn how to move, breathe, and build strength safely
This block focuses on the fundamentals that make all strength training work.
You’ll learn how to create tension, use your breath properly, and move with control — the skills that protect your joints and make exercises feel strong instead of awkward.We take the time to slow things down, refine technique, and build confidence before adding complexity or speed.

Hip hinge, squat, push and pull movement patterns
Foundational strength exercises
Carries and core work for real-world strength

BLOCK 2
Building Strength & Power
Apply the fundamentals and start training with intent
In Block 2, we build on the foundations and introduce more dynamic strength work.
You’ll learn the difference between controlled strength and explosive power, and how to use each one effectively.This is where training starts to feel more “athletic” — while still staying technical and coached.
You’ll work on:
Introduction to kettlebell specific exercises, like swings and get-ups
Strength exercises performed with better control and precision
Understanding the difference between slow strength and fast strength
Progressions in bodyweight and kettlebell training
Technique that supports long-term progress and injury prevention

Session times are scheduled fortnightly and may vary based on attendees and our availability. We aim to offer multiple time options to suit different schedules, with final timetables confirmed in advance.Do I need prior training experience?
