Hi. I’m Tess. I still get nervous walking into a new gym.
I was the nerdy kid who did marching band to get exempt from gym class (gym class trauma, anyone?!?). Until my mid-20s, my body was just the thing carrying my head around.
Now, moving and lifting heavy things is how I regulate my nervous system, how I express myself and my values, and how I conjure joy when I feel like shit. Movement is when I feel most at home.
If you’re curious about strength training, I’d love to help you get started.
What you’ll learn
Safe, strong lifting form
“Where do I put my feet in a squat?!? Will Kettlebells hurt my back? How do I breathe when I lift something heavy?” In each class, we’ll answer these types of questions, grow your skills, and improve your technique.
The basics of programming & progressions
If you’re overwhelmed by sets and reps, I got you covered. You’ll walk away understanding why the programming we do at the studio is effective, and how to create a smart, simple workout wherever you are.
How to feel more confident in the gym
I’ll be honest…I still don’t feel at home surrounded by a bunch of machines and protein powder. But now that I feel more confident in my abilities, it doesn’t seem to matter as much. By the end of the series, you’ll never have to wonder “am I doing this right?” or “do I look stupid” (hint: probably not) again.
