We recognized the benefits of strength training for women. Women could build strong muscles and strong bones. They could shape their bodies and with the additional muscle added, would have a kickass metabolism that would help them maintain a healthy weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/faysfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_0364.jpg?resize=432%2C324\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-294\" width=\"432\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/faysfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_0364.jpg?w=432&amp;ssl=1 432w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/faysfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_0364.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><figcaption>Our Beginning Strength Training Book<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then we trained women to workout \u2013 hundreds and hundreds of them.

With all this learning, adapting and helping others in the gym get better at their workouts, it was easy to lose sight of the basics which our whole business was based on. We still train people, but most of the training is with people that have been to our gym in the past or have some experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So it\u2019s a good time to get back to basics. <strong>In fact, there has never been a better time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Strength Training 101 for Women is basic strength training.<\/strong> It starts at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is this you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Do you understand that strength training has benefit to you but don\u2019t know where to start?<\/li><li>Are you intimidated by a gym setting where everyone seems to know what they\u2019re doing but you?<\/li><li>Does your mind draw a blank when you\u2019re trying to come up with exercises to do when strength training?<\/li><li>Do you wonder if you\u2019re doing an exercise correctly?<\/li><li>Have you tried working out at home with weights or bands but just found it ineffective?<\/li><li>Do you have a good cardio program jogging or walking and need to add strength?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After this 4-week class, you will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Be able to walk into any gym and know exactly what to do<\/li><li>Be able to set up your own home gym with the right tools to get a good workout.<\/li><li>Learn the basic principles and benefits of strength training<\/li><li>Learn how to strength train safely and effectively in a gym or at home<\/li><li>Learn how strength training fits into a total fitness plan<\/li><li>Learn the benefits of strength training<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not just a seminar. <strong>You will workout in every class!<\/strong> Our format is LIFT and LEARN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strength Training 101 for Women is a class on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 -6:30 PM.
