A quick hello from me and an overview of how the membership works, so you know exactly where everything is and what to do first.
EVERY WEEK

Your first stop every week. A new guided strength workout of around 30 minutes, with the warm-up and cool-down built in, plus a short Bounce session for impact, balance, power and reaction time.
ANY TIME YOU LIKE
3. The workout library and mobility sessions
Missed a week, or want to repeat a favourite? Every workout lives in the library, alongside 10-minute mobility sessions for the days when you are feeling stiff or want something gentler.
ALL INCLUDED IN YOUR MEMBERSHIP
4. The courses
For when you would like more structure or want to focus on one area: Beginners, Bands and Bodyweight, Progression, Balance, Stronger Bones and Introduction to Impact. Not sure which one is for you? This video will help you choose.

A few quick things to sort out before you begin, and my advice on where to start, whether you are brand new to strength training or have been lifting weights for a while.
PLEASE WATCH BEFORE YOU START

I'm new to this. Where do I start?
Have a look at the welcome videos at the top of this page, and then log in using the login button. If you're new to strength training, Beginners, Bands and Bodyweight is the perfect place to begin.
What should I do every week?
Try a weekly workout twice a week followed by the Bounce session, plus two mobility sessions from the mobility library. That's a great balance to start off with, and you can build up from there as you feel ready.
Do I need a gym or special equipment?
No, everything is designed to be done at home, and the equipment you need is kept to a minimum. You can download the equipment checklist from this page, but you don't need everything straight away, as a chair and a mat are plenty to get started.
I have health concerns. Can I still take part?
It's always a good idea to check with your GP before starting a new exercise programme. Every workout includes options to make exercises easier or harder, and please watch the health check video before you begin.
What if an exercise doesn't feel right for me?
Every exercise has easier and harder options, so choose the one that feels challenging but comfortable for you. If something still doesn't feel right, skip it and carry on with the rest of the session.
I've missed a week. Do I need to catch up?
Not at all. Just pick up with this week's workout, and use the workout library if you'd like to do a session you missed.
I can't log in. I've tried to reset my password, but I don't get sent a link.
The most likely reason is that there was a typo in your email address when you first signed up. Please get in touch at [email protected] and I'll check it for you.
I'd like to cancel my membership.
No problem at all. Log in to the website and click your profile picture icon in the page header. This sometimes doesn't show on a phone, so if you can't see it, log in on a laptop instead.
Select Settings from the drop-down menu, click Billing, and then click the three dots next to your subscription. You'll have the option to cancel, or to pause if you think you might come back at some point.
Still got a question?
Email me at [email protected] and I'll get back to you.
