Week 1 · Fitness centre
Strength training, with your crew
Week 1 of your Pod. Learn the lifts that matter most for staying strong for decades, in pairs, with a coach, in a local fitness centre.
What you'll do
Your Pod pairs up and learns the fundamentals: squat, hinge, push, pull and carry. You spot each other, cue each other and leave with a simple routine you can do at the gym, at home, on the road or at the office.
Every fitness level is welcome. Sessions are scaled to you, so a first-timer and a regular lifter train side by side.
Why it matters
Muscle and strength are among the strongest predictors of staying independent and active as we age. Strength training a couple of times a week is one of the habits worth the most healthy years for most people.
Good to know
Saturday, 9:00 to 10:30 am, at a local fitness centre. Wear training clothes and bring water. The coach and equipment are included.
Part of something bigger
This is one of 8 experiences in a Live Longer Pod, a longevity experience club. You're matched with a crew of up to 8 like-minded people and meet on 8 Saturdays, a different experience each week. We book the whole experience: every venue, every coach, every piece of equipment. All you need to do is show up.
Every Pod is hosted by a trained Pod Host.
