How it works
Not a women's program. Coaching that meets you where you are.
We don't run a separate corner of the gym for women. You get the same coaching every member gets: a program built on your goals, sessions capped small, a coach beside you every rep. What we do differently is the start. If you'd rather begin with a female coach, you can, from your Free Intro through onboarding and onto the floor.
What to expect
What you can expect
Learn to lift, properly
Barbell from scratch or back after a break. Technique first, load when you've earned it.
Never thrown in the deep end
Onboarding is one-on-one. You walk onto the floor knowing the room, the coach and the plan.
Strength that shows up in life
Carrying kids, moving furniture, feeling capable. That's the point.
A crew, not a crowd
Sessions capped small. People learn your name in week one.
Meet your coach
Maddy Morrison
Maddy blends technical mastery of strength training with a natural ability to connect, encourage and empower. Her coaching is built on three pillars: clarity, confidence and care. She teaches you how to move safely, explains why each exercise matters, and shows you how to adjust training to suit your body and your life.
A few times a year
Women's intakes through the year
A few times a year we run a women's intake: a handful of women starting together, coached by our female coaches, feeding straight into the main floor. Ask about the next one in your Free Intro.
