Small-Group Strength · Balla
Get stronger, together.
Strength-focused small-group training with expert coaching and structured sessions — whether you're new to lifting, returning, or already training.
6:15pm7:15pm
You'll fit right in
You don't need to be experienced. You just need to start.
These classes suit women at different levels — beginners welcome.
You might be:
- Completely new to strength training
- Returning to exercise after time away
- Already training but looking for more structure
- Looking for expert coaching without one-to-one personal training
Every station can be adapted to suit different ability levels. You won't be expected to keep up with the person beside you.
The goal is to progress from where you are.
Your 45 minutes
Strength training, without the guesswork.
Clear structure each week — different exercises, same purpose.

Finish
Close the session well
May include a short core or conditioning finish.

First time?
You won't be thrown in at the deep end.
If you've never done strength training before, that's absolutely fine. I'll show you each exercise, help you choose the right level, and give you easier or harder options where needed.
Come as you are. We'll work from there.
Questions
Frequently asked questions

What if I already lift weights?
That's fine too. Where appropriate, exercises can be progressed so you're still challenged at your own level.

How long is the class?
45 minutes.
What should I bring?
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in and bring water.
Do I have to book the full block?
No. You can drop in for €12 and choose 6:15pm or 7:15pm.
