On the whatsapp, there are a few channels.
🪩Organise here for arranging community sessions. If you want to shout out, you are going to be in the gym - that is the place.
🪩 Chit-chat is for chatting, and we are pro-banter. If you find it noisy, it is ok to opt out of the channel.
🪩 useful info is to share educational content, articles, videos, and papers around lifting. Or Health and women's wellbeing.
🟢Better Classes: this is an area dedicated to comms on lifting classes run by better. The booking happens on better app.
3️⃣ 🐾Lifter community sessions: You will find the community most useful for lifting together adhoc or on weekly sessions. These sessions are not classes and everyone is there as individual lifters coming to the gym. Use “organise here” channel on whatsapp to organise and lift with others, practising safe lifting and spotting for each other. Assume all are NOT trained to teach, and attending means you understand this is a community session. You all will watch for each other, share knowledge,, and lift together. Also, it is ok to hibernate, stay quiet and not attend. We do not want you to feel overwhelmed.
<aside> ℹ️
If you are a newbie, it is advisable to attend a few lifting classes to learn the technique. Currently, we are running classes in Better gyms - Lifting Women only. And secondly in the community sessions focus on your own heavy as everyone is different. It is ok and very normal if you need to change the weight up or down.
