Workshop Overview

A full day on the foundations of getting people stronger — how to programme for strength development, and how to coach the lifts that deliver it.

We start in the classroom, covering the theory behind strength programming: exercise selection, setting loads, and structuring sets, reps and progression so your athletes and clients actually get stronger week on week. From there it’s onto the gym floor, working through the coaching and instruction of the key compound movements for strength development — refining technique, spotting common faults, and learning to cue and correct them in real time.

You’ll leave able to write a structured strength programme and coach the fundamental lifts with confidence — whether you’re working with athletes, gym members or personal training clients.

Level 3 Personal Training Qualification required for entry.
