Women’s Strength Club
Our strength classes are focused on teaching proper technique, learning how to choose appropriate weight and developing skill in the weight room.
The schedule is based around three main lifts; squat, bench, and deadlift. Each day focusing on particular muscle groups, and movement patterns, to develop.
The goal in class is to target muscle growth and improve upon skill.
In the women’s strength classes we keep exercises consistent from week to week, focusing on progressing movement efficiency and developing confidence in our bodies and our capabilities. Strength training increases metabolic output, improves bone and joint health, helps promote dopamine, improves on our coordination and proprioception. Meaning that getting strong in the gym means being resilient outside of it.
There is no age limit or experience required to develop strength. Classes are open to everyone and are there to help develop from your starting point. All exercises have variations to accommodate movement restrictions or skill level.
Come and join like minded women
who want to get strong, fit, and healthy.
Class Schedule
Monday/Tuesday/Thursday 6pm
Senior Strength Class
It is never to late to start strength training.
Strength training for seniors is one of the best ways to improve bone health. Increase muscle mass which has a direct impact on all aspects of health. As well as strengthen joints.
On stop of that you improve cognitive function, balance, and mental health.
Classes focus on full body strength workouts, all tailored to individual capabilities.
Are classes are not your typical exercise class. We work with dumbbells, cables, resistance bands and are reducing the amount of sitting. We take more risks in the gym to reduce the risks in your day to day life under the watchful eye of a trainer.
We focus on improving your quality of life, and making you more resilient to it. Practicing getting in and out of chairs, practicing the ability to get off the floor, being able to lift and play with grandchildren. Being able to continue enjoying the activities you have always loved.
There is no experience required, just the desire to be healthier and stronger.
Class Schedule
Monday & Friday 2:30pm

Testimonials
Cheryl
I connected with Michelle after I completed 6 months of physio after a full knee replacement. I was looking to find someone to help me gain strength, improve my balance, develop core strength and generally improve my physical wellbeing. Looking back on our first meetings, I really needed her help and what an improvement she made in my life. She carefully listened to what I was trying to achieve and quickly assessed my needs & ability in terms of strength and endurance. We met once a week and I was twice a week on my own doing her routines. This worked very well, I really enjoyed her encouragement and assistance in perfecting moves and the quality of my exercises. She kept me on track and is very consistent in moving you forward in your personal goals and improvement to your endurance and physical ability. I noticed my physical well being much improved and felt so much better than I did before her sessions. You will not be disappointed in working with her. Thanks for all your help Michelle!

I have been with MCSC Training for about 4 years now. I was coming up on the big 50 and wasn't liking myself anymore. I have known michelle since she was about 6 years old, and found out she had become a personal trainer, and realized this was my chance to make a change. i am not a gym person, so to train one on one with her was perfect for me. my goals started off small. i just wanted to be a bit more active and fit. as time went on i started seeing small changes in my body and my self confidence grew a little more after each session. fast forward 2 years, COVID hit and like everyone else i had put on a few pounds. Two virtual sessions a week with a couple weights and bands, I kept at it. When traiing opened up again, my goals shifted a bit more. I loved seeing little muscles develop in my arms and back. "add more weight, i can do three more reps" i would say to her. Well the extra covid pounds came off, plus 7 more! last summer with her help and motivation i did the mud Girl run. 5km and 18 obsticles, i was so happy and proud of myself. now 53 years old is just around the corner, and thanks to michelle, i look in mirror and love what i see!

“I am 57 years of age and thanks to Michelle’s I once again have the ability to do the things I love, and no longer face the day to day tasks with trepidation. Her foundation training gave me the ability to preform day to day tasks; climbing stairs, getting on and off the bus, lifting groceries, gardening without joint pain. As we moved from foundation to strength and endurance I went from barely managing to downhill ski for 2 hours to a full day, of top to bottom runs with no knee pain!!
Without her coaching I believe my future would have been typical of anyone aging, I would slowly lose mobility and my independence. , I cannot express how grateful I am for what she enabled me to do. She has given me a future.”

“I've struggled with my weight since my teens. After trying every diet under the sun all I was left with was frustration and no lasting results. I've been working with Michelle for a year and a half now. With over 80lbs gone (and counting!) not only have I lost weight, I've kept it off! Michelle is so amazing and you'll not find a more motivational person. I highly recommend her ❤️"
