Barbell Foundation
Begin or perfect your barbell technique with Alanna - kinesiologist, personal/group trainer, registered massage therapist and prenatal/postpartum corrective exercise specialist!
Our 6 week series, offered in small groups focusing on one-on-one training and hands on technique education. Learn how to safely train with barbells with modifications for postpartum. The series will teach you proper barbell technique for your main lifts (back squat, deadlift, row, and chest press) and how to safely and sustainably build strength in your training programs. Use this training to take your strength training from “recovery” to “forever” programming!
