Lifting 101: A Non-Intimidating Approach to Fitness

If you’re a mom with grown kids and you've never lifted a weight but are curious about starting, you're in the right place. At our gym right off the square in Lebanon, we understand that stepping into a new fitness routine, especially one involving weights, can feel a bit daunting at first.


That's why we’ve tailored our approach to make lifting accessible, enjoyable, and totally non-intimidating. Let’s break down how we can help you get started with strength training in a way that feels empowering and fun!


Discover Your Strength

Personalized Guidance

When you walk into Rise, you won’t be facing the weights alone. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way. We start with a personal consultation to discuss your goals, any health concerns, and your fitness history. This helps us create a workout plan that’s tailored just for you, ensuring that you feel comfortable and confident from your very first squat.



Friendly Environment

Our gym culture is all about support and encouragement, not competition. You’ll find members just like you, who are here to uplift each other. And let’s not forget about Rudy, the goodest boi in middle Tennessee, who’s always around to give a morale boost!



Learn the Basics

Safe Techniques

Before you dive into lifting, it’s crucial to get your form right to avoid injuries. Our coaches specialize in teaching the fundamentals of strength training. You’ll learn how to perform basic lifts like the deadlift, squat, and bench press with proper technique. Our beginner-friendly classes focus on form and safety, helping you build confidence along with strength.



Small Group Classes

We know that starting out in a big class can be overwhelming. That’s why we offer small group sessions where you can learn alongside others who are new to lifting too. It’s a cozy setting where you can ask questions, get immediate feedback, and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow beginners.


Grow at Your Own Pace

Getting stronger involves more than just lifting heavier weights; it’s about progressing at a pace that feels right for you. At Rise, we celebrate every milestone, no matter how small it might seem. Whether it’s adding an extra pound to your lift, mastering a new technique, or simply feeling more energetic, your progress is our priority.


Remember, every strong woman started somewhere, and this is your somewhere. Let’s make it great together!


Join us at Rise, where your fitness journey is about more than just weights—it’s about building a stronger, more confident you. Ready to start lifting? Drop by, meet our team, get some pets from Rudy, and take the first step in your strength training adventure with confidence!
