Throughout August, team GAC were collecting for a big donation to Renfrewshire Foodbank

This support is vital in our community unfortunately, so it was great to see we managed to fill up a couple of boxes in the hope that it helps those out who need it.

It was delivered by our member Jo (current Weightlifting Club Champ as well 👀) who volunteers there every week.

Delighted to be able to support a vital service in our community and super grateful to every single one of the GAC community who donated something

We will be continuing this support on an ongoing basis with a donation box set up in the gym so if you're in for a session or even seeing Lucy for a massage, feel free to pop something in the box 👌

❤️ WHAT MAKES GAC DIFFERENT?

We're not trying to be the biggest gym (I wouldn't even say we are trying to be a gym!!)

We're trying to be a place where more people feel comfortable being active.

That means:

🏋️ Beginner-friendly strength training
😊 No judgement
👋 Coaches who know your name
🤝 A supportive community
💪 Progress at your own pace
❤️ A focus on health, not just appearance

And because Get Active Coaching is a Community Interest Company, we're also trying to create something that benefits the wider community.

Our goal is simple:

🎯 1,000 people active in our classes every week.

We're not there yet.

But we're working towards it every single week.

And every person who walks through our doors is another step closer ☺️

💪 HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU STRENGTH TRAIN?

You don't need to train every day

You don't even need to train 5 days a week.

For most beginners, 2–3 strength sessions per week is a fantastic place to start.

The important thing isn't doing as much as possible.

It's doing something you can actually stick with.

Think:

🏋️ Train
😴 Recover
📈 Get a little stronger
🔁 Repeat

Consistency beats perfection.

If you can train twice a week consistently for a year, that's far more valuable than training six times a week for three weeks and then giving up.

Start with what you can realistically maintain ✌️

🎙️ NEW EPISODE 🎉🎉

“I’m too unfit to start.”

Sound familiar?

You don't need to get fit before you start exercising.

You start where you are. You learn. You get stronger. 💪

This week on Everyday Strength, we're talking about taking that first step without feeling intimidated.

🏋️ HOW HEAVY SHOULD YOU LIFT?

One of the most common questions we get from beginners is:

"What weight should I use?"

The answer?

A weight that challenges you while allowing you to maintain good technique.

If you're finishing every set thinking "That was easy!" - you might be ready to increase it.

If your technique is falling apart before you finish, it's probably too heavy.

And if you're somewhere in between?

You're probably about right. 👍

You don't need to lift the heaviest weight in the gym (or stare at it like me in this image 😂)

You just need to find a weight that helps you get a little stronger over time.

That's how progress happens.
