Give It A Go

We are back for 2021 and looking forward to it. Training will start on the 27/09/21 and memeberships will be going live this coming week. Look forward to seeing all the new faces!

These ladies have said it very well.

Now is not a time to be silent, but to share on any platform you have, social media however is not enough... sign the petitions, email your mps, educate yourself, be active and keep pushing.

There are many more resources out there too, but we thought the list the rugby women have put together was a good starting set

The last decade saw the creation of Strength sports and 2019 saw huge growth in the club.
We’re looking forward to our biggest year of competition attendance, more 1st competitions, more pbs and more old Bois returning to big old Sheff.

Can’t wait to see how the club changes in the next decade and becomes even bigger and better 💪🏼🤙🏼

The happiest of New Years to you all and here’s to 2020 💖🥂

Children in Need fundraising

Strength sports have decided to max out every lift possible and use these numbers to try and reach a group target of 6000 kgs this week. We had our first session last night and have already hit over 2000 kgs. So please hit the link below and donate any spare pennies you have

Thanks so much!

LADIES

Tomorrow morning, 10-11 will be the second of our This Girl Can sessions where you can come down to pick up some tips and improve your technique for the squat, bench and deadlift.

Conditioning will still be on as normal in the following hour so feel free to stay for an extra challenge to wake you up on a Saturday morning!

Looking forward to seeing you all! ☺️

Love Beth

*UOSSS DOES THIS GIRL CAN* In celebration of This Girl Can week, we are putting on TWO extra-special sessions for our strong gals AND their pals to get involved in!! 🏋🏻‍♀️ The first session will be on Tuesday 12th November at our usual time of 8-9, where ladies with membership can bring a friend for FREE for an hour of all things strength training. The second session will be on Saturday 16th November in the hour before conditioning (10-11), where there will be a full breakdown of the squat, deadlift and bench, just for the girls led by our committee. This will give you a chance to pick up some tips for improving form and ask any questions you might have. We hope to see lots of old and new faces there!! 😁 @sheffsportscomm @sportsheffield

This Halloween maybe take a few minutes to think about the impact your costume could have on other people

*OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING COURSE*

As for other members the room will be given Olympic lifting priority, we won't be using the racks but it will be first come first served for training and maximum of about 8 people outside of the course.
