Empowered By Iron: Womxn's Weightlifting Class

Department / Organization: Student Recreation, Fitness

Build real strength in a supportive, womxn-only environment. Registration open from 8/10 - 9/11. Multiple Sections offered.

This womxn only weightlifting class is designed to demystify the weight room and empower you with the skills to lift heavy and move well. Meeting twice per week for 10 weeks, the program focuses on mastering the four foundational barbell lifts: squat, deadlift, bench press, and overhead press. To ensure a well-rounded approach, these primary lifts are paired with intentional accessory exercises using dumbbells, kettlebells, and more.

Beyond the physical gains, you’ll experience boosted self-esteem and the cognitive resilience that comes from consistent resistance training.

There will be two sections:

Monday/ Wednesday, 8am – 8:50am (12 seats available)
Tuesday/ Thursday, 12pm – 12:50pm (12 seats available)

All classes start the week of 9/14/2026

This program includes pre- and post-program fitness testing and wellness surveys to track your progress physically and mentally.

Commit to 10 weeks of guided, small group training and empower yourself through strength.
