For young athletes and active teens, the gym can be a transformational place, but only when built on a foundation of proper technique and basic training knowledge. We want to ensure your teen develops the skills to train effectively, while avoiding common pitfalls and recommendations they might see on social media. Our workshop provides the professional guidance needed to turn gym curiosity into a lifelong habit of safe, powerful movement.


What's included?

This workshop is a hybrid of practical movement and essential theory, ensuring your child walks away knowing the how and the why.


Master the Movements: Practical coaching on foundational lifts (squats, hinges, pushes, and pulls) tailored for growing bodies.

The Blueprint: We explain how to structure a workout. They’ll learn about sets, reps, and frequency.

The Science of Gains: An introduction to training principles like progressive overload and recovery.

The "Take-Home" Pack: Every participant receives a structured training template to start their journey immediately.

Parent Myth-Busting: A dedicated Q&A to address common concerns - no, lifting won't "stunt their growth," and we'll explain why.
