FAQs
Questions about strength basics block
If yours is not here, ask it in the request form's note.
Is the block only for beginners?
It is written for people new to free weights, but it also suits anyone coming back after a long break.
What if I miss a week?
Give 24 hours’ notice and that session is moved to another time you both have free, so the block still has all six.
What happens after the sixth session?
Nothing, unless you want it to. Some people carry on with one-to-one sessions, others take the plan and train alone.
