BARBELLS AND BADASSES: SUNSHINE, STRENGTH & SISTERHOOD
ON A PERFECT SUMMER SATURDAY IN JUNE AT ATHENA PERFORMANCE GYM IN REDDITCH, WE OPENED OUR DOORS TO HOST AN EVENT UNLIKE ANY OTHER. "BARBELLS AND BADASSES" WAS A LADIES-ONLY LIFTING EXPERIENCE, DESIGNED TO CELEBRATE WOMEN OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES WHO LOVE TO LIFT, OR SIMPLY WANTED TO LEARN HOW TO LIFT EFFECTIVELY AND PROPERLY.
THE SUNSHINE WAS BLAZING AND THE ATMOSPHERE WAS BUZZING. OUR STRENGTH AND FITNESS STUDIO GYM WAS FULL OF BARBELLS, BADASSES, LAUGHTER, ENERGY AND ENTHUSIASM.
CUSTOM CAKES AND BALLOONS
WE TRANSFORMED OUR GYM WITH CUSTOM BALLOONS, HIGH-ENERGY MUSIC FROM THE LIVE DJ, WITH PLENTY OF REFRESHMENTS, HYDRATION AND CUPCAKES. WE DESIGNED A SETUP TO WELCOME AND INSPIRE BOTH OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS WELL AS FRIENDS AND LOCAL LADIES WHO WANTED TO TRIAL OUR GYM AND TAKE PART IN THE EVENT.
A FULLY COACHED EXPERIENCE
OVER THE COURSE OF 4 HOURS, THE INCREDIBLY STRONG WOMEN WHO ATTENDED WERE TAKEN THROUGH VARIOUS LIFTING TECHNIQUES BY OUR FULLY-TRAINED COACHING TEAM. DAN ALLEN AND RICHARD BENNETT, DELIVERED PASSIONATE, ACCESSIBLE INSTRUCTIONS THAT HAD EVERYONE FEELING STRONG AND EMPOWERED, NO MATTER THEIR STARTING POINT.
HIGH ENERGY VIBES WITH PERSONAL TOUCHES
THE MUSIC DEFINITELY SET THE MOOD WITH A PROFESSIONAL DJ PLAYING AN UPBEAT SONGS WHILE THE LADIES LIFTED, LAUGHED AND LEARNED TOGETHER. PLENTY OF PHOTOS AND VIDEOS WERE TAKEN OF EVERYONE COLLECTIVELY AND SOME GREAT INDIVIDUAL SHOTS, COURTESY OF OUR IN-HOUSE PHOTOGRAPHER AND VIDEOGRAPHER. THEY REALLY CAPTURED THE PERSONAL MOMENTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
AGE IS JUST A NUMBER FOR THIS INSPIRING LADY
ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRING MOMENTS CAME COURTESY OF A WOMAN IN HER EIGHTIES WHO STOOD AT THE PLATFORM AND ABSOLUTELY SMASHED HER LIFTS. HER DETERMINATION AND SPIRIT SET THE TONE FOR THE ENTIRE DAY. SHE REMINDED US ALL THAT YOU’RE ONLY AS OLD AND STRONG AS YOU FEEL AND WAS AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL.
COMMUNITY THAT LASTS BEYOND THE DAY
BARBELLS AND BADASSES WAS NOT JUST ABOUT LIFTING. IT WAS ABOUT COMMUNITY, CONFIDENCE AND SUPPORT. WOMEN FROM ACROSS REDDITCH AND BEYOND CAME TOGETHER TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW AND WALKED AWAY WITH MORE THAN JUST TECHNIQUE, THEY WALKED AWAY WITH CONNECTIONS, PRIDE AND A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF SELF-BELIEF.
WE’VE HAD GLOWING REVIEWS
