[ 01 ] The method

No experience needed.
Just show up.

Three stages. One bar. Weight goes on only when you’re ready for it.

01 LOAD: 0 LB

Learn the movement

We start with the basics, with no weight and no pressure.

02 LOAD: LIGHT

Perfect your form

You build confidence and technique, one lift at a time.

03 LOAD: PROGRESSIVE

Load the weight

We add weight gradually, so you get stronger safely.

What seems impossible today will soon become your warm-up.

[ 04 ] The coach

Hi, I’m Fred.

I’ve been coaching in Saskatoon since 2012, first at the YWCA and, since 2017, in my own private gym. I compete as a masters powerlifter, I’ve taught the MS Society’s strength training program, and I coach kids learning to lift. Whatever your age or starting point, I’ll teach you to lift well and get stronger safely. When I’m not coaching, I’m usually training for my next meet.
