Strength 101

6-week beginner strength program

Why Strength 101 Exists

People don't quit because they're lazy. They quit because they don't know where to start.

Strength 101 removes the guesswork.

Every workout is coached. Every exercise is taught. Every week builds on the one before it. By the end of the program, you'll know exactly how to train safely and confidently for the rest of your life.

Your 6-week path to a stronger you

  • Week 1: Welcome to Strength Training

    Meet your coach. Make a few new friends. Learn how to read your program and move with confidence. You'll be introduced to the fundamental movement patterns, complete your first strength workouts, and discover that the gym isn't nearly as intimidating as you thought

    By the end of Week 1 you'll:

    • Meet your coach and training group

    • Learn how to read and follow your program

    • Master the foundational movement patterns

    • Complete your first coached strength workouts

    • Build confidence in the gym

  • Week 2: Build Confidence

    By now, you'll know your way around the gym, recognize the equipment, and feel comfortable following your training program. Instead of starting from scratch, we'll reinforce the fundamental movement patterns you've already learned and begin layering in slightly more complex exercises.

    As your confidence grows, so will your understanding of why you're doing each movement—not just how to do it. Every session continues to build on the last, giving you the skills and confidence to train with purpose.

    By the end of Week 2 you'll:

    • Feel comfortable navigating the gym

    • Read and follow your program with confidence

    • Refine the foundational movement patterns

    • Learn more advanced variations and techniques

    • Continue building strength

  • Week 3: Find Your Rhythm

    By now, you're rolling. You're feeling stronger, moving with more confidence, and the gym is starting to feel like a place where you belong.

    This week, we build on everything you've learned so far. You'll continue refining your technique while introducing more challenging lifts and increasing the workload at a pace that's right for you. With your coach by your side, you'll begin to see just how much you've progressed in only a few short weeks.

    This is the point where many people stop thinking, "Can I do this?" and start thinking, "I'm actually enjoying this."

    By the end of Week 3 you'll:

    • Feel stronger and more confident in your abilities

    • Continue improving your lifting technique

    • Learn more advanced strength movements

    • Increase the weights you're lifting safely

    • Begin seeing measurable progress in your training

  • Week 4: Train with Purpose

    By Week 4, you're no longer just learning the movements—you're putting them together into complete strength training sessions with confidence.

    Your technique is becoming more consistent, your workouts are more structured, and you'll start recognizing the progress you've made since day one. With each session, you'll spend less time thinking about what to do next and more time focusing on moving well and getting stronger.

    This is where training starts to feel natural, and confidence turns into habit.

    By the end of Week 4 you'll:

    • Complete full strength training sessions with confidence

    • Lift with better technique and consistency

    • Understand how each exercise fits into your program

    • Continue progressing your strength safely

    • Feel like the gym is part of your routine

  • Week 5: See Your Progress

    The movements that once felt unfamiliar now feel natural. The weights that seemed challenging a few weeks ago are becoming part of your regular training. More importantly, you've proven to yourself that you're capable of getting stronger.

    This week, you'll continue progressing your lifts, celebrate the improvements you've made, and build the confidence to keep challenging yourself. By now, you're not just following a program—you're becoming someone who trains consistently.

    This is the week where many people realize, "I never thought I'd be able to do this."

    By the end of Week 5 you'll:

    • See measurable improvements in your strength

    • Lift heavier with confidence and proper technique

    • Feel stronger, both physically and mentally

    • Build momentum that carries beyond the program

    • Be ready to celebrate everything you've accomplished in Week 6

  • Week 6: Celebrate Your Progress

    You've spent the last six weeks building strength, learning new skills, and proving to yourself that you're capable of more than you thought.

    This week, we'll revisit the lifts you learned in Week 1 and compare them to where you are today. You'll see how your technique has improved, how much stronger you've become, and just how much confidence you've gained along the way.

    It's a chance to celebrate your hard work, share your success with your training group, and recognize everything you've accomplished over the past six weeks.

    But this isn't the finish line—it's the foundation for everything that comes next.

    By the end of Week 6 you'll:

    • Measure your progress and celebrate your achievements

    • Experience how much stronger and more confident you've become

    • Complete the program alongside your training group

    • Create a plan for continuing your strength journey

    • Take the next step toward lifelong strength and fitness

How to know if this is for you

  • Sound Familiar?

    You've tried everything — bootcamps, fad diets, random programs off the internet — but can't seem to get the results you want or stay consistent.

  • The Cycle Stops Here

    You're sick of program hopping, yo-yo dieting, endless cardio sessions, and following along with group workouts that go nowhere. You want something that actually works — and sticks.

  • You Don't Have to Earn Your Place Here

    You're intimidated by gym culture, where everyone already seems like they're in the best shape of their life, and you feel like you'd have to "get in shape" before you even walk through the door.

  • Short on Time, Not on Results

    You're a busy mom or dad who doesn't have hours to spend in the gym every week. You need direction, and workouts that are quick and effective.

  • Not a 'Gym Person'? Good

    We love the "I'm not a gym person" crowd. You feel like working out is a chore to check off, not something you actually enjoy doing — but you've never had coaching or a community that made you want to show up.

  • Don't Know Where to Start? That's Our Job.

    You understand the importance of movement, and you know you need to get in shape — but you're not sure where to start or what to try next.
