Free classes in the UK's oldest weightlifting club
LONDON, March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- From March 18th, Gymist is sponsoring free 'INTRO TO STRENGTH TRAINING' classes at Hackney Weightlifting Club for people who want to learn all the basic barbell lifts, proper technique and confidence in the gym.
The classes are led by Daphne Harvey, who, in her words, describes the sessions as "A class for those who've always wanted to learn how to squat and lift heavy weights, but who either don't have access to barbells or feel intimidated or uncomfortable in commercial gym weight rooms. It's led by a female coach in a friendly, welcoming environment, and you'll learn all the basic barbell lifts like squats, deadlifts and presses, along with some more unusual ones! Suitable for beginners but scales well as you progress to intermediate and beyond. You'll be taught proper form and technique for all lifts to avoid injury and maximise benefit. You'll also learn how to use assorted weight-room equipment, and you'll pick up gym etiquette, which will give you the confidence to feel like an insider in any gym."
