Empowered By Iron Students: 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. Commit to this guided journey and transform your relationship with the gym.

Tuesday/ Thursday, 5pm – 5:50pm (12 seats available)
