The 8-Week Start is your coached way into Core Training: small group strength training at Berden Village Hall. Twice a week, with women who get it, and a plan built to survive real life.

You're not unfit. You've just never had a plan built for your life.

"I'll start when things calm down."Things don't calm down. Work, kids, parents, the menopause rollercoaster. The plan has to work anyway.
"Gyms make me feel invisible."No mirrors full of men grunting. A village hall, ten women at most, and a coach who knows your name and your knees.
"I don't know where to start."That's exactly what the 8-Week Start is for. Eight weeks of learning the lifts, building the habit, and finding your feet.
How it works

Eight weeks to go from "not sure" to "I've got this."

What makes this different

The Bad Week Floor

In week one we agree your minimum: the smallest week that still counts when life goes sideways. Most plans fail in the bad weeks. Yours is built for them, so one missed session never turns into three missed months.

Everything in your 8-Week Start

Try it free. Then start properly.

After your free taster, every new woman joins Core Training through the 8-Week Start, because the first eight weeks are when habits either stick or slip. Here's what's included.

      Questions

      I've never lifted weights. Is that a problem?Not at all. Most women start as complete beginners. Every session is scaled to you.
      What happens after my free taster?If it feels right, you join the next 8-Week Start group. Five women start each month, next on . No pressure if it isn't for you.
      Is it really women only?Yes. Every Core Training session is women only.
      What if I miss a week?That's exactly what your Bad Week Floor is for. We plan for real life, not a perfect one.
      Do I have to join the membership after?No obligation. Most women want to keep going, and the membership is there when you do.
