What Happens After Beginner Strength?

One of the biggest questions we hear is...

"What happens when I finish?"

​

The answer is simple.

Our Beginner Strength classes are a permanent part of our weekly schedule.

Many women continue attending these classes for as long as they like.

Others naturally progress into our regular Strength Training classes once they feel confident.

​

There's no pressure.  No graduation date.
No expectation that you have to "move up."

We'll help you choose the classes that best support your goals.
