At Burleigh Barbell Club, classes typically run for approximately two hours. During these sessions, members work through their individualised programmes, which include warmups, stability work, technical exercises, strength training, and accessory work. The club welcomes individuals of all fitness levels and provides a supportive environment for both beginners and experienced lifters to thrive.
When it comes to attire, any fitness apparel is suitable for training at Burleigh Barbell Club. However, weightlifting shoes are recommended, and the club even has pairs available for borrowing if necessary.
One of the common concerns potential members have is whether weightlifting is only for competitive athletes. The answer is a resounding no! Burleigh Barbell Club extends its services to a wide range of individuals, from children as young as seven to adults in their seventies. The benefits of weightlifting are tremendous, including mental fortitude, improved bone density, and enhanced athletic development.
As for the number of training sessions per week, it ultimately depends on your personal goals and schedule. While the club recommends a minimum of two sessions per week, they also understand that life can be hectic and offer flexibility to accommodate individual circumstances.
