Women on Weights (WOW)

Join CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center with Personal Training Manager, Lauren, and Fitness Specialist, Karina, for this empowering eight-week series designed for women starting their strength training journey. Learn mindset strategies to increase confidence in and out of the weight room, learn how to maximize your workouts, and develop the tools to form a fun and sustainable wellness program.

Through Women on Weights (WOW) Series One, participants will build a solid foundation to create a lasting strength training program, including the competencies to perform fundamental lifts and strength work, and the ability to continue to create programs and plans to help achieve personal goals.

WOW participants will receive:

• Full access to the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center during the program
• Access to our virtual coaching app, TrueCoach, during the program
• Mindset techniques to overcome barriers
• Encouragement and accountability in a safe environment
• Journal to use for goal setting

We meet every evening from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (for eight weeks) and begin with 30 minutes of classroom discussion, followed by 60 minutes of hands-on movement and structured training in the FIT Lab. Each week’s class will revisit principles from the previous week and incorporate new topics such as mindset, movement, and recovery to help support your goals.

Who is this program for?

WOW curriculum is targeted toward all who may identify as a woman and who is interested in beginning a strength training program. By covering muscle development, nutrition, and mindfulness topics in addition to movement, this program will help women feel empowered to continue with their strength development program.

Do I have to be a member of the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center?

No. There is member pricing for this program for people who are already members. Members should sign up at the front desk or through the member app. Non-members will receive access to the center and the TrueCoach app during the duration of the program. After the program is complete, you will have the option to continue on as a member of CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center.

What if I have never lifted weights before?

Previous weight lifting experience is not required. Our fitness specialists will help you learn foundational movements and principles of weight and strength training in an environment designed for maximum safety and comfort.

What if I don't want to get bulky?

Weights alone will not make you bulky. Women typically will not develop bulk without excessive caloric intake. We will help you learn about the best movements and training to support your individual goals, including building lean, strong muscles. The benefit of a small group such as this (limited to 8 participants) is that you will get focused and personalized guidance.
