Women's Weightlifting Class
$75 per month gets you three classes per week of women's weightlifting classes and a virtual program with exercise demonstrations
This class is currently taught at 1PM on Mondays (child care available), 6:45PM on Wednesdays, 3:30PM on Thursdays (child care available), and 2PM on Sundays. This class is designed to help women of all different levels. You can be a complete beginner, or an experienced weightlifter in this class. The idea behind this class is for women to help each other grow stronger and learn form.
Each class we will have a specific focus: upper-body or lower-body. For each exercise, proper instruction is given, then students perform the exercise for 3-4 sets with guidance from Ilana. She tries to get around to anyone who needs help fixing their form on each exercise. There is 6 months worth of unique workouts that are rotated on a weekly basis, then the workouts are cycled through again. Many of the workouts utilize similar exercises, but use different implements (barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells, and resistance bands), and in different orders. There are also portions of the class where students work on a warm-up, a core exercise, and stretching. During other days of the week, you will have access to an online program with demo videos to help you keep on track!
When you sign up for the class you will pay for the first month and set up your credit card to be automatically billed each month. If you would like to continue with the online program, even after you can no longer attend class, this can be arranged. Students can also go on hold for 1-2 months at a time. Every class participant will receive a free shirt, and sticker when they first sign up for the class!

Student Testimonials
Alyssa, 51
"Ilana’s women’s weightlifting classes and workshops have really helped me learn the foundations of strength-training with correct form and confidence. As a fitness educator, Ilana has excellent communication skills and is always professional and encouraging. She adapts exercises to different abilities, fitness levels, and body types with expert knowledge to meet each student where they’re at. After working with Ilana, I feel much more confident and motivated to work out on my own at the gym. Yet I am still excited every time to attend her classes and workshops to learn something new in a fun and supportive environment! "

"I would highly recommend taking Ilana’s Women's Weightlifting class. One of the standout aspects of the class was the expert guidance provided by Ilana. She not only emphasized proper form and technique but also fostered a positive and encouraging environment. The class proved to be a dynamic blend of strength and support. I feel much more equipped and confident to take on a gym routine by myself now. If you're looking for a space to challenge yourself, build strength, and connect with an amazing community of women, this class is an excellent choice."

"Aside from the classes being super affordable and unique exercise experiences,
each class provided individual attention and a wide variety of exercises. I also really appreciated the individual adjustments to exercises, as every body is different. After each class I felt more confident to lift weights in many different ways."
