What’s Different About Group Fitness at LWL Studios?
You’ve been told you can’t make significant progress with strength or muscle building through group training. Whoever told you that was wrong.
The standard, run of the mill group fitness classes that big gyms offer usually look like this:
❌ Large groups of people
❌ High intensity cardio with some weights thrown in
❌ New workouts all the time to keep things “fun”
❌ Not conducive to coaching or individualized attention
If you like these types of classes, it’s all good.
Small group training at LWL Studios is much different.
✅ Small class size (no more than 6)
✅ Workouts focused on strength, muscle building, and endurance
✅ Expertly designed and delivered following the core principles of strength training
✅ Dedicated, hands-on attention from the coach to ensure you’re lifting correctly and safely
…All while building community (and having fun!) among a small group of encouraging, like-minded people.

You’ll do the same workouts for 4 weeks to give you enough time to both learn the movements and progress with them. This repetition over time is how you make progress and see results!
We encourage you to join at any time, regardless of where that group is within their 4-week progression. You’ll be welcomed with open arms because that’s how we roll here.

I love going to this class! Every time I attend I feel that I'm improving my form and strength. Also it's so cool to look around the gym and see all women working hard and training. I always walk out feeling overall motivated about the rest of my day, my next work out and making good healthy choices for my body and me! It feels good to feel good!

Rae Reichlin created Ladies who Lift after watching many of her female clients have the physical and mental breakthroughs they never thought possible through learning to lift properly and with confidence.
Having experienced it herself, Rae understands the fear, apprehension, and misinformation, that can sometimes come along with lifting and getting stronger, and wanted to create a space and environment where women felt comfortable to come together to learn and perfect this method of training.
Ladies who Lift promotes empowerment through pushing one's own boundaries, and being there for others who are trying to do the same. By educating women about each of their bodies needs and impressive capabilities Ladies who Lift aims to leave clients ready to lead happy, healthy, connected lives.

Small group training and 1:1 training are both expertly designed and structured strength training modalities. In both types, you receive dedicated attention from the coach.
In small group training, naturally, you’re among a few other people, so you won’t receive 100% of the coach’s time and attention at every moment. Small group training is also slightly faster paced, whereas 1:1 training is paced to each individual. If this is what you’re looking for, check out our 1:1 training options.
-
You can. However, we recommend you start with 1:1 personal training so you can get more comfortable and learn the ropes a bit before moving into a group setting.
-
Absolutely. You can either use your own class package, sign up your friend(s) using one of your class package sessions, or have your friend(s) purchase a drop-in class pass.
-
Yes. We’re serious about our members receiving as much of a personal training experience as possible. This isn’t the typical group class at a big box gym. This is real strength training that gets our members real results.
-
For sure. A huge benefit to our small group size is that you’ll receive individualized coaching, so even if you’re brand new, you’ll be taken care of.
-
You have 3 months from the date of purchase to use the sessions in your package.
