Level 1: Women On Weights is a program that has been designed to engage and teach women of all ages and abilities the importance of exercise, specifically that of Resistance Training. This 6-week program will teach participants proper technique for exercises and the benefits of training. Throughout this educational program participants will learn about gym etiquette, proper nutrition, different types of aerobic training, specific resistance training techniques and more importantly you will learn about your body and yourself. It is our goal, that by the end of this program you feel like the STRONG, POWERFUL, and KNOWLEDGABLE women that you are and that this will translate into you being confident and comfortable within the gym setting. Please note this is not a Fitness Workout, but you will learn proper techniques to continue after the program is complete.
