Ever been curious about weightlifting but intimidated by traditional gym culture?Wondered why everyone says strength training is essential but never understood why?Wanted to try lifting but didn’t know where to start - or worried about doing it wrong?

This is for you!

Uplift is a community workshop designed to make strength training accessible, approachable, and fun. Hosted at Stronger Together - Woodstock’s trauma- informed, all-bodies-welcome lifting gym - join us as we sweat, laugh, learn and connect!

Whether you’ve never touched a barbell or you’re looking to refine your form, we’ll break down the fundamentals of strength training in a judgment-free environment that prioritises safety, proper mechanics, and understanding your body. You’ll learn the why behind the movements, build a sweat with hands-on practice, then integrate it all through somatic release exercises to support your nervous system.
