About this Event
About this Event
Have you ever wanted to start strength training but weren’t sure where to begin?
You’re not alone.
Strength Fundamentals is part of the Larch House Fundamentals Series—our signature beginner-friendly programs designed to help adults build confidence through safe, evidence-informed coaching in a welcoming community.
Our inaugural Women’s Edition is led by elite CrossFit athlete and coach Freya Moosbrugger, who is passionate about helping everyday women discover that strength training is accessible, empowering, and enjoyable.
Whether you’ve never lifted a weight before or you’re returning after time away, you’ll leave with greater confidence, practical skills, and a better understanding of how to train safely.
No previous strength training experience is required.
What You’ll Learn
During this interactive workshop, you’ll learn:
• Why strength training matters for lifelong health
• Proper lifting technique and movement fundamentals
• Safe movement patterns for everyday life
• How to activate the right muscles before lifting
• Beginner-friendly exercises you can confidently continue on your own
• How to build a sustainable and enjoyable strength routine
Workshop Agenda
Welcome & Introduction (5 minutes)
Meet Freya and the Larch House team while learning why strength training matters, what to expect during the session, and how proper preparation supports safe movement.
Guided Warm-up (6 minutes)
Prepare your body with a dynamic full-body warm-up designed to improve mobility and movement quality.
Movement Activation (6–8 minutes)
Activate key muscle groups—including your core, glutes, and shoulders—using resistance bands and beginner-friendly activation exercises.
Technique Demonstration (5 minutes)
Freya will demonstrate each movement, explain proper form, and share coaching cues before participants begin the workout.
Coach-Led Strength Circuit (17 minutes)
Practice the fundamentals through a guided circuit using lightweight equipment, including:
• Romanian Deadlifts
• Dumbbell Squats
• Shoulder Presses
• Mini-band Glute Bridges
• Planks
Every exercise will be coached step by step, with modifications available for different experience levels.
Cooldown & Community
Finish with guided stretching, questions and answers, and an opportunity to connect with Freya and other participants.
Why We Keep It Small
Unlike large fitness classes, Strength Fundamentals is intentionally limited to 20 participants.
This allows Freya to:
• Demonstrate each movement clearly
• Provide individualized coaching and technique feedback
• Adapt exercises to different experience levels
• Answer questions throughout the session
• Create a welcoming and supportive learning environment
At Larch House, we believe quality coaching begins with personal attention.
What to Expect
This is not a high-intensity bootcamp.
Our focus is on learning proper movement, building confidence, and developing skills you can continue using long after the workshop.
We’ll provide all training equipment, including lightweight dumbbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands. The emphasis is on learning excellent technique—not lifting heavy weights.
What to Bring
• Comfortable athletic clothing
• Supportive athletic shoes
• Water bottle
We’ll take care of the rest.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is perfect for adults who:
• Are completely new to strength training
• Want to improve confidence in the gym
• Are returning after a break
• Want to learn proper lifting technique
• Enjoy learning in a supportive small-group environment
Health & Safety
This workshop involves light physical activity using bodyweight, resistance bands, dumbbells, and kettlebells. Please participate within your comfort level and stop if you experience pain or feel unwell.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the Larch House Fundamentals Series and help you discover the confidence that comes from moving well and getting stronger.
