MINT LEARN TO LIFT
BOOST CONFIDENCE & KNOWLEDGE IN THE GYM WEIGHTLIFTING FOR TEENS, PEACE OF MIND FOR PARENTS
Our NEW Learn to Lift programme is a structured course of 5 weekly weightlifting sessions taught and supervised by a MINT Coach and hosted at our top-level gyms in Richmond, Twickenham and Esher.
Teaching teens how to perform weightlifting techniques in a correct and safe way, each week they will master one of the key foundation weightlifting movements guided by our MINT coaching team.
At each session they will learn how to select and prepare the equipment and set safe loading limits for their personalised workout.
Our Learn to Lift Programme
Amelie went through the MINT Programme and is regularly complimented on her technique and variety of training by the PT where she now trains. She feels confident in knowing how to adapt her workout to how her body is feeling and more importantly staying injury free!

Five Weeks to Lift
All our facilities are fitted with top of the range equipment, the same as the professional athletes use
Over the five weeks they will learn how to put together personalised programmes that offer a full body workout (including warming up and mobility exercises) ensuring an emphasis on strength with technique to develop an athletic, robust body.
They will also be advised how to identify and adapt movements should they be carrying an injury and understand the importance of good hydration and nutrition.

Peace of Mind for Parents
All our facilities are fitted with top of the range equipment, the same as the professional athletes use
Creative coaching that breaks down and builds up movements using lightweight PVC pipes and lower weighted barbells allow the younger age groups to safely learn technique without adding significant load.
We will demonstrate all aspects of equipment usage - how to load/ unload bars and pick up barbells or weights from floor level and lifting racks. Week Six of this course will be asking your child to safely follow an hour long gym program to demonstrate what they have learnt so we can be sure they are capable of continuing on confidently in their own gym environment.
