I’m brand new to strength training. Is the Booty Parlour right for me?

If you are brand new to strength training or cannot make it to our studio in Newport then check out our 6 week introductory course that you can take at home. Boss the Basics is a beginners strength training course for women, with weekly videos from me, your coach, demos, workbooks and bonus resources to help you get started on your journey.

If you want the 1:1 personal experience we will be more than happy to take you from brand new to strength training to pro at our studio in Newport, Sydney. Each of us started our strength training journey with no experience at one point in time. Our sessions are catered to each individual’s requirements through customised programs, and the positive and private environment means that you don’t have to feel intimidated or shy about your own experience level.

I don’t want to lift heavy - I just want to get stronger and fitter. Is the Booty Parlour for me?

Absolutely. We coach women with very different goals and levels of strength training experience. The shared goal amongst all of them is wanting to get stronger and more confident in their own bodies.

We have some women who are brand new to the gym environment, but then we have runners, surfers, dancers or pilates fans who just want to complement their existing regime with a session or two of weights, mums who want to regain their old core strength and body composition, right through to the fit ex-F45ers and group-fitness women who want to take their training to the next level.

I’ve been lifting weights for years but want to review my technique and take my training to the next level. Can you help?

Sure! Technique is at the forefront of what we do in all of our coaching sessions. Jess is a strength coach and is experienced with helping women improve their lifting. A large portion of women who come to Jess have some lifting experience but have either developed bad habits or injuries and want to gain confidence in the gym and in their lifts.Having lifted at the top level of powerlifting in national and international competitions herself, Jess is passionate about helping other women progress their technique, efficiency and experience in lifting, including coaching them into strength sport competitions; where this is of interest. We are absolutely keen to help you mix up the style and intensity of your training and love it even more!

What's better for me – personal or semi-private?

Our semi private program is perfect for you if:

• You love training with others and enjoying some good banter while you exercise
• You want the attention of a personal training session but want a cost effective option so that you can do a few sessions each week
• You love a group environment but still want to be able to ask questions, have your own personal program, have your form corrected and lifts spotted
• You feel more motivated while training with training buddies
• You want to book in to train with your friends

Our personal training 1:1 programs are for you if:

• You feel more comfortable working privately with your coach
• You work better in a 1:1 face to face environment
• You want to be able to hone in on your specific personal goals, program and exercises that will help get you there
• You want to take your training to the next level and learn more about the lifts and movements patterns
• You’re interested in doing a competition or have another major milestone approaching and so it’s time for a tailored plan of attack

What happens if I can’t find a time on the semi private training schedule that suits me?

If you would like to book in for a semi private training session but don’t see a time that works for you, then you can email us here: info@thebootyparlour.com.au We’d love to hear what sort of times/availability our members and future members have and are always looking to expand our session times.

At the moment, the team’s availability is mostly for mornings as this is when our girls love training. As we have new team members join the studio, we will hire 1 or 2 more coaches and will so many more time options available! So please let us know your preferences so that we can keep you in the loop as new session times become available.

How can I work strength training into my existing regime?

Many of our members have existing experience in other sports or training regimes and find that strength training supports them in these.

You may like to add 1 or 2 sessions into your existing week to see how your body responds and then add more when you want to take it up a notch, or have the availability to do so.

I’d recommend you using a weekly planner to draft your ideal week of exercise, and seeing how strength training fits in with your existing regime and commitments. Ideally, we’re aiming for some form of movement daily, whether that’s going for a walk or swim, getting to the gym for a training session, a game of soccer, a pilates class or even a mobility session on the foam roller at home after work.

If you’re already participating in a training regime, you will love seeing how strength training will help you:

• Feel stronger
• Move faster
• Feel more resilient and be less likely to injure yourself
• Feel far less out of breath
• Be leaner and more toned
• Feel more energetic
• Improve your sleep quality
• Relieve stress and anxiety
