About this event

Come a long and learn how to develop your physical and mental strength at our women's only weights training and wellness session. Run by Hackney-based women's organisation, STUK CIC, the sessions will teach or develop your knowledge of weights based exercises and wellness practices together with great people, good music and positive vibes.

Our sessions are run by qualified professional fitness trainers with specialist knowledge in incorporating weightlifting and wellness practices.

Weightlifting: the sessions will teach you how to use a barbell, weight plates and dumbbells for full body strength development, that you can practice independently or on one of our longer courses.

Wellness: this session incorporates wellness interventions, to support you in using sport, fitness and exercises to strengthen your body and mind.

P lease note this event is completely free. STUK CIC is a community interest company funded by volunteer time and donations. If you are able to, we welcome donations but this is not required.

Frequently asked questions

What should I bring?

A bottle of water, gym clothes or something you find comfortable to exercise in, comfortable trainers and a snack (for after session).

Can I bring a friend?

Absolutely, just sign them up on Eventbrite so we can keep track of numbers and accommodate everyone.

I haven't used weights before/ exercised in a while, is this for me?

That's not a problem at all. You're exactly who we're looking for. Our sessions are catered to women who are new to or moderately involved in exercise. You will be supported to do what you can!

I'm worried about coming alone, but I don't have anyone to attend with me

Many women start attending our sessions alone. We know that taking the first step by yourself can be hard but you will always be welcomed. We're a friendly bunch and all here to connect through movement and wellness, so give us a try.

Can I bring my children?

Britannia Leisure Centre has a creche available to parents and have agreed to extend their weekend opening times for our group. Please indicate on the form if you will need creche support for children under or over 2 (it is completely free, the cost is covered by STUK CIC).

If English is a barrier for someone interested in attending

We know many women who would benefit from our sessions, have limited English, the wellness element of our sessions is delivered in English, at present we do not have the support to deliver in other languages. However, all women are welcome to attend and will be supported to fully engage.

Can I come just for the weights sessions or do I need to participate in talking?

We operate an integrated model of wellness and physical activity. This involves communication throughout the sessions. We find that people get the best experience and outcomes from engaging with our combined approach. However, no-one is forced to talk, but we ask that everyone listens respectfully.
