Ready to start lifting?
Strength training doesn’t need to be complicated, intimidating, or loud. Whether you’re starting out or returning to lifting, we’re here to help with equipment designed for women and free workouts to get you going.
A simple place to start:
Most beginners start with 2–3 kg for upper body and 4–5 kg for lower body.
If it feels light, add reps
If it feels heavy, use one dumbbell
You can start with just two 30 min at-home sessions per week
When will I know to go heavier?
When you can complete 3 sets of 10–12 reps with good form and it feels comfortable, it’s time to move up.
Our 1 kg increments make progression simple and controlled.
Benefits of strength training
-
Why strength train
FACT: Women lose 3-8% muscle mass per decade, leading to decreased bone density and slower metabolisim.
Strength training is essential to maintain lean muscle, increase bone density and support long-term cardiovascular health. -
The benefits go beyond muscle
FACT: Strength training improves balance, posture, and joint stability, which reduces the risk of falls and injury.
It supports everyday movement and helps you feel more resilient in your body, not just stronger on paper. -
You won’t “bulk up”
FACT: Significant muscle size increase requires long-term, high-volume training alongside specific nutrition.
Lifting weights won’t make you bulky. It will make you strong, supported, and confident in how you move.
