This week, ITV This Morning shone a spotlight on some of Britain’s strongest women ahead of the Britain’s Strongest Woman competition. Reigning champion Lucy Underdown, alongside competitors Naomi Hadley and Claire Myler, spoke about the strength, determination and dedication it takes to compete at the highest level.
Strength training has come a long way. It’s no longer about fitting a stereotype or simply lifting the heaviest weight possible. It’s about building a stronger body, improving confidence, protecting our bones and joints, supporting long-term health, and proving to ourselves what we’re capable of.
Whether you’re aiming to deadlift double your bodyweight or simply want to carry the shopping with ease, play with your children or grandchildren, or stay independent as you get older, strength training has a place for everyone.
Our fitness community celebrate every version of strong. Every PB. Every first push-up. Every extra kilogram lifted. Every person who walks through the door wanting to become a stronger, healthier version of themselves.
Our small group strength sessions are designed for all abilities, whether you’re completely new to lifting or looking to build on your current training. Join us every Tuesday at 6:30pm or Thursday at 7:15pm in a supportive, welcoming environment where the focus is on getting stronger, moving better and enjoying the process together.
Because strength isn’t defined by how much you lift…
It’s defined by what you achieve.
