Get active, learn the basics and have fun! Our free Learn to Lift sessions are open to all Heriot-Watt University students, whether you’re entering the gym for the first time or looking to build your confidence and skills.
9-week programme running from 23rd Sept - 18th Nov
Want to feel more confident lifting weights in the gym? Learn to Lift is a nine-week course designed to introduce you to three of the main compound lifts: the barbell squat, bench press and deadlift.
Whether you’re completely new to lifting or have some experience but want to improve your technique and confidence, this course will help you develop the skills to perform these exercises safely and effectively. You’ll spend three weeks focusing on each of the main lifts, alongside complementary accessory exercises to help build your strength, technique and understanding.
With just six spaces available, the course offers a supportive small-group environment with plenty of opportunity for individual coaching and feedback.
Sessions will be led by Oriam Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer Gregor McColl in the main Fitness Suite.
No previous experience is required — just bring yourself, some comfortable sportswear and a willingness to give it a go!
