Foundations Program in Brandon

Before coming to Deadset, I had been working out on my own either following an online program or a program made for me from a fitness professional. However, I was always working out alone and when you’re not sure if you’re doing things correctly it’s hard to stay motivated. It can be very easy to not go, quit half way through, rush through moves or stay at low weights you know you can control.

It can be scary, overwhelming and awkward starting somewhere new but I felt very welcomed in by everyone. I love going to the gym now! I soon found myself to be the 9am staple of the gym! LOL I love just showing up and being walked through the warm up and workout! I have more confidence in lifting more weight knowing I have someone there making sure I am doing things properly. My weights have significantly increased in just 9 months.

I do have to give credit for my quick improvements to the coaches of Deadset! I find there have been some mental barriers I have hit because I didn’t think I could physically do something. They have helped me see that I can do those things, I just maybe need a little nudge! Which sometimes comes in the form of pull up bar being moved mid workout, a plate missing off my pile for box jumps or them offering to “lower my weights when I start struggling” and then they never change them!

I find the classes have been so beneficial and I wish I had of started this years ago! If you are a beginner, I highly recommend coming to classes and if you aren’t come anyway because it’s fun! It’s also nice to be able to encourage others on their journey, whatever that journey may be or look like! The gym owners, staff and class takers have been an amazing support to help keep this journey so enjoyable!
