Your coach will ask questions about your current activity and help establish your training goals. By the end of the session, you will have a basic understanding of Starting Strength and learn how how you can benefit from strength training.
Your coach will then set you up with an introductory session where you will learn the basics of our main lifts: squat, bench press, overhead press, and deadlift.What to wear:
- A 100% cotton t-shirt
- Stretchy shorts or pants that you can squat in

What to bring:
- A water bottle
- A hand towel
