Course Updates: Strength Courses Return in June

Updated: May 28

After taking May off from leading her Progressive Strengthening courses, Andrea Lairson, PT, ATC, will be back this June with both a Strength 2.0 and 1.0 Hybrid Course.


Strength Foundations - Starts June 1st


This Strengthening Course is a hybrid of our Strengthening 1.0 and 2.0 series — designed to support both those newer to strength training and those who have already completed Strengthening 1.0 and are ready to continue progressing.


Led by Physical Therapist Andrea Lairson in a supportive small-group environment, this course focuses on building confidence, improving movement quality, and safely increasing strength through progressive exercise and individualized guidance.


Throughout the series, participants will work on:

  • Core engagement and stability for lifting and daily movement

  • Improving shoulder, hip, and low back stability

  • Increasing mobility through the thoracic spine/mid-back

  • Learning and refining foundational movement patterns including the hip hinge and overhead press

  • Strength training using bodyweight exercises, dumbbells, kettlebells, trainer barbells, and progressive resistance

  • Building and solidifying technique with bench press, deadlift, squat, and overhead press movements


This hybrid format allows newer participants to learn foundational skills while offering returning participants opportunities to refine technique, build capacity, and continue progressing strength safely and confidently.


This course is a progressive series and must be signed up for, purchased, and attended together. Please do not drop in.


Dates: Monday, June 1 – Thursday, June 25

Schedule: Mondays & Thursdays, 10:00–11:00 AM

Cost: $200 for the full series (8 progressive classes)


Class size is limited to just 6 participants and is expected to fill quickly, so we encourage you to register early.
