Wednesdays 10:00-11:00 am.

The hour-long class will include a warm up, various strength work with barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, etc, and a core and pelvic floor specific cooldown. Whether you are maintaining an active lifestyle during pregnancy, transitioning into postpartum movement, embarking on the journey of menopause, starting your weightlifting journey, or just looking to have some structure to a weekly weightlifting session this class welcomes women of all backgrounds and experience levels.

Strength training plays an important role in our bodies feeling good, however, this class is not a substitute for a physical therapy appointment. If you are looking for specific help addressing aches and pain, pelvic floor physical therapy, and more, book an initial evaluation appointment with Dr. Heather Salzer.

Each class is limited to 8 participants so grab your spot before it fills up! Email heather@onwardbellingham.com with any questions.
