HOLD Strong
My brand new strength space in Ilkeston.
This is my small, personal, and built for folks who are ready to pick up a barbell studio. I’ve created a space free from any intimidation, individual plans, and no being left to figure it out alone.
HOLD Strong is for you if...
You've been meaning to sort your strength training out for a while. Maybe you've tried the gym and felt like you didn't belong there. Maybe you've been doing bits and pieces at home but you're not sure if you're doing it right and you’re not really feeling any difference. Maybe you just want someone to show you what to do, and then leave you to get on with it.
You're not looking for a 6 week transformation. You're not interested in before and after photos. You just want to feel stronger, move better, and stop putting yourself at the bottom of the list.
That's exactly what HOLD Strong is for.
What is HOLD Strong
HOLD Strong is a small, private strength studio at 170 Norman Street, Ilkeston, in the same building as Not Too Shabby by Charlotte and The Luna Shala. It's just me, you (and maybe a few friendly faces if that’s what you’ve booked), some barbells, and a great playlist.
I opened this studio in July because I need somewhere to do this properly. Somewhere that feels like it belongs to the women who use it. Somewhere that isn't intimidating, isn't generic, and that you felt welcomed to.
It's new. It's all mine. It’s what I’ve been looking for. And every session you book helps me make it a reality.

170 Norman Street, Ilkeston. It's in the same building as The Luna Shala but the entrance is different. If you're new: look for Not Too Shabby by Charlotte in the main church building, then go through the gate to the left. If you've been to The Luna Shala before: The Refectory is on the opposite side of the building, through the gate and doorway on the right.

Stapleton Road is a good option nearby.

Comfortable clothes you can move in, and flat-soled trainers. Converse are ideal. Anything without a chunky heel works well. For The Full Reset, you'll need to take your shoes off for the movement assessment, so bear that in mind.
-
Water and a small snack. That's it.
-
If you're new to working with me, or it's been more than six months since we last worked together, I'll send you a PAR-Q (a short health questionnaire) with your confirmation email. It takes about two minutes.

No. Everything is tailored to where you're at. The only thing you need to bring is yourself.

es, and this is genuinely my area. I'm a certified menopause specialist as well as a strength coach, so if hormones, fatigue, joint aches, or any of the other delightful side effects are part of your picture, I know how to work with that rather than around it.
