Getting started
Do I need to be fit before I start?
No. Every exercise has easier and harder versions, and your coach picks the right one for you. Plenty of members started with no training experience at all.
What happens at the free intro?
A 15-minute phone call or a short visit to the gym, whichever suits you. We ask what you want from training and what's got in the way before, answer your questions, and suggest where to start. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
What is the onboarding session?
A 1:1 session with a coach before you join classes. It covers a movement assessment, a strength and flexibility check, and a conversation about your goals and any injuries, so your first class is set up for you.
Can I try a class without onboarding?
We like to see how you move first. If you've trained before and know your way around a barbell, get in touch and we'll work something out.
I'm a complete beginner. Is that OK?
Yes. Classes are built with progressions and regressions, so people of different levels train side by side, each at the right level.
Training
How big are the classes?
A maximum of 12 people, so your coach can give each person instruction specific to them.
How often should I come?
Two to four sessions a week suits most people. Consistency matters more than any single session, so pick a number you can keep up.
How is the programme structured?
We programme in blocks of several weeks, with a testing week at the end so you can see your progress. Sessions are full-body and coached throughout.
I'm injured or managing a health issue. Can I still train?
Usually, yes. We work around what needs care and keep progressing what you can do. Your body is adaptable, and we'll always explain why we're adjusting something. If you need more support, we work with Sterling Physiotherapy and Rehab Plus.
Is Workshop Strength only for advanced lifters?
No. Strength here means capability: meeting you where you are and building forward from there.
