If you’ve been in class at Homegrown Fitness recently, you’ve probably heard me banging on about our warm-up sets when we’re getting into heavier squats, deadlifts, or any big barbell lift. 

Warming up for heavy lifting isn’t optional. 

But - and this is important - it also doesn’t need to be complicated, long, or filled with 12 different mobility drills you found on Instagram. With some thoughtfulness and a bit of tuning-in, your warm-up can set you up for safer, stronger, more enjoyable lifts.

If you’ve ever walked past a gym, peeked inside, and felt both wildly intimidated and secretly a little curious about what it would be like to be in there…

Strength training can feel like stepping into a whole new universe: mysterious equipment, people who seem to know exactly where everything is, what those weird torture devices do. 

That’s exactly why we created Learn to Lift, our 90-minute intro workshop at Homegrown Fitness.
