What Strength Training Here Looks Like

Here's what your strength training at Courage Fitness looks like from day one.

  • Walk in knowing what you're doing every time
  • Lift with a coach watching your form and correcting you as you go
  • Start light and build strength at your own pace
  • Build strength for everyday life, like carrying groceries and taking the stairs
  • Follow a strength plan built around your goals

Pick your main goal and we'll show you where to start.

You Know You Need Strength.Nobody Showed You How.

You've heard it everywhere. Women need to get stronger. But every plan online says something different, and you worry about picking the wrong exercises. Walking into a weight room can feel like walking into a place that wasn't built for you.

So you guess, or you put it off, or you start and stop again.

Without a coach and a plan made for you, getting stronger stays on the list. Another year goes by and you still don't feel strong.

Strength Coaching Built Around You

A plan built for you.

Your coach builds your program around your goals and where you're starting.

A coach watching your form.

You learn to lift the right way, with a coach who watches your form and corrects you as you go. You start light and add weight when you're ready.

Strength for everyday life.

Carrying groceries and taking the stairs get easier as you get stronger.

You Don't Have ToFigure It Out Alone

Courage Fitness Durham has been coaching since 2008. We hear it from women all the time. They know they need to get stronger and they don't know how to start. That's why our coaches tell you what to do, walk you through every lift, start you where you are and build from there.
