Lift with confidence. Get stronger. See your progress.
Feel intimidated in the weights area or unsure if you’re lifting correctly? Get expert coaching, a structured plan and a supportive group of women who cheer each other on — whether you’re just starting or already lifting.
No leisure club membership required · Beginners and experienced lifters welcome
Strong enough to start? Absolutely.
Maybe you find the weights area intimidating, aren’t confident in your technique or struggle to stay motivated on your own. Or perhaps you already train and want clear structure to make progress.
At Ladies Lifting, you don't have to figure it all out alone. With a maximum of five women per group, you get individual coaching attention and a welcoming group that encourages everyone to improve.
You don’t need to be strong to join. You just need somewhere supportive to begin — and a plan that helps you progress.
Four lifts. Progress you can see.
Each of the four coached monthly sessions focuses on one key compound lift. We'll work on your technique, build your confidence and help you challenge yourself appropriately.
You get your own logbook to record exercises, weights, repetitions and progress. When we revisit each lift, we can see how far you've come and set the next achievable target.
02 · Bench press
03 · Deadlift
04 · Military press
Technique, consistency and gradual progression — all at a level that suits your experience.
More than a weights class.
Your £97 monthly membership supports your progress both during and between coached sessions.
Nervous about lifting weights?
Four 45–60-minute sessions each calendar month, normally Thursday at 7:30pm at Houstoun House Leisure Club, Uphall. Maximum five women.
Need workouts beyond the class?
Individualised home or gym workouts to complement your group sessions, matched to your ability and personal goals.
Unsure how to eat for your goals?
Your own calorie and protein targets, with practical nutritional and lifestyle guidance to support your goals.
Need somebody to keep you on track?
Individual accountability, feedback and support so we can adjust your approach as you progress.
Want to see how much stronger you are?
Access your training programme through the coaching app and record each session in your lifting logbook to track improvement.
Wish the gym felt more welcoming?
Train alongside like-minded women who encourage one another, share wins and make the weights area feel welcoming.
No leisure club membership needed. In months with five Thursdays, one Thursday has no group session so the monthly total remains four. Session dates will be shared in advance.

Before you join.
I've never lifted before. Can I join?
Yes. Ladies Lifting welcomes women of all experience levels, including complete beginners. Coaching is adapted to your ability and confidence.
I'm already experienced in the gym. Is it suitable?
Yes. We focus on structured progression and technique, with individual goals so experienced lifters can keep developing too.
How does the four-week programme work?
The four coached sessions in a calendar month each focus on a different lift: squat, bench press, deadlift and military press. You'll record results in your logbook and compare them when the exercises return.
When and where are the sessions?
Normally Thursdays at 7:30pm at Houstoun House Leisure Club, Uphall. There are four coached group sessions each month, lasting approximately 45–60 minutes each. If the month has five Thursdays, one Thursday will have no session and dates are communicated in advance.
Do I need a separate leisure club membership?
No. You don't need to purchase a separate Houstoun House leisure club membership to attend the programme.
Do I only get help during the weekly session?
No. Your membership includes individualised gym or home programming, nutrition and lifestyle support, coaching app access and weekly private check-ins.
What happens if I need to cancel?
Membership is £97/month, paid on the 1st. Written cancellation notice must be received at least 14 days before your next payment to stop that payment. If you miss that deadline, the upcoming payment may still be due. Full membership terms are provided before you sign up.
Are there spaces available?
We're currently looking to welcome two additional women, subject to availability. Enquire for the latest spaces as this preview is not updated live.
How does mid-month billing and cancellation work?
Payments are on the 1st. Joining partway through the month requires a pro-rata payment for the remaining month plus the next month upfront. Written notice to cancel must be received at least 14 days before the next payment.
Every rep is worth celebrating.
