What are our powerlifting classes like❓
Here are the nuts and bolts:
📈 Our coaches write your programming and plan your progression over the weeks and months, and provide you with targeted feedback on your lifts throughout your attendance. Our goal is for you to get as strong as you want to, and to help you in that journey.
More generally, this is what we are about:
🤝 Anchor is an INCLUSIVE place to train and a safe space for everyone. We are absolutely not into “diet culture,” and we are advocates for this as a sport for literally everyone. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone feels welcome to pursue their goals with a supportive community.
Tell other people that you think would fit well in our classes about this giveaway!
