Learn to lift with confidence in our inclusive, supportive community

Starting your fitness journey can feel intimidating — especially when you’re new to lifting weights. At Sound Fitness Studios, we make it simple, safe, and enjoyable with BASE — our beginners weightlifting class in Forest Hill and Kent House. 

This is a class designed for people new to strength training who want to learn the right technique, build confidence, and get stronger in a friendly, inclusive setting. You’ll train in small groups of 4–6 people, led by experienced personal trainers who guide you through every movement — from squats and presses to deadlifts — ensuring you progress safely and steadily. Each session is designed to help you build a solid BASE of strength and confidence — the perfect foundation to progress into our more advanced sessions like LIFT and FORGE. 

Small group training with personal attention

Our BASE beginners weightlifting classes in Forest Hill and Kent House combine the best of personal training and group energy. You’ll still receive plenty of one-to-one attention — we keep groups deliberately small so that every lift, posture, and adjustment gets noticed. 

At Sound Fitness, you’ll never feel lost in a crowd. All BASE classes take place in fully equipped strength studios, designed to give you everything you need to build strength, confidence, and train at your own pace. 

Both our private personal training studios in Forest Hill and Kent House are clean, modern, and welcoming — no intimidating gym floor, no waiting for equipment, and no pressure to keep up. Just expert coaching and steady, enjoyable progress. 

An inclusive approach to strength training

We’re proud to be a gay-owned personal training studio, welcoming everyone into a space that’s encouraging, inclusive, and free from judgment. Whether you join one of our LGBTQ friendly fitness classes in Forest Hill or Kent House, you’ll find a community that supports you at every step. 

If you’re looking to build strength, increase confidence, or simply find a supportive local private personal training studio, Sound Fitness Studios offers training you can trust.

Our BASE classes are structured to help you understand your body better, lift safely, and feel empowered — whether it’s your first time in a gym or your first time back in years.

Lift heavier. Train smarter. Build lasting strength.

If you’re ready to take your strength training to the next level, our advanced weightlifting classes in Forest Hill and Kent House are built for you. LIFT is designed to help you move better, lift heavier, and track real progress in a supportive, small-group environment. 

Each class is limited to just four members, combining the focus of personal training with the motivation of training alongside others. You’ll work closely with our expert coaches, who provide hands-on guidance to perfect your technique and push you toward your next personal best. 

What to expect in a LIFT session

Our strength training classes in Forest Hill and Kent House are all about progression and performance. Every session focuses on compound lifts — think squats, presses, deadlifts — helping you build total-body strength and confidence. 

• Rounds 1 & 2: Two key strength exercises with rest between sets. Use the rest to adjust weights, recover, and prepare for your next lift. 
  

• Round 3: A conditioning finisher — either EMOM (Every Minute On the Minute) or interval training — designed to build endurance and resilience. 

This structured approach ensures you see consistent improvements week after week, whether that means lifting heavier, refining your form, or simply feeling stronger.
