What can you expect at IMPACT Proud?
- Your training program starts with a community agreement so that you can be sure all your IMPACT Proud teammates have made a commitment to inclusion and belonging.
- We'll show you that you have everything it takes to confidently take up space in the gym and explore what your body can do. If you've never been to the gym, no sweat (pun intended), we will meet you each week and take you to the training space.
- You'll learn all the basics of training in a weight room and experience workouts that will help you progress safely and effectively.
- Classes are led by an expert coach in a small-group training environment (1:8 coach-to-participant ratio) so you can train in a supportive team atmosphere.
- This program is open to those of all levels and no previous experience is necessary. All equipment is provided.
