The session
One lift per session, taught in small pieces. You learn where to stand, how to brace and what a good rep feels like before any weight goes on.
Groups stay small so the coach can watch every rep. You leave with notes on what to try next time.
Built for first-timers. You start with an empty bar or something lighter.
