Before
When we receive a referral to join one of our courses, an Uplifted worker will get in touch to offer you the opportunity to visit the gym and assign you a place on the most suitable course.
If we feel someone is not ready for a group training environment but they still want to access Uplifted courses, we may discuss the potential of some 1-1 sessions with a coach first. This will be decided on a case by case basis.

On completion of the 12 week strength course, participants will be able to come to open gym sessions to continue to work on their strength in a familiar environment.
The drop-ins will be limited to 6 people at a time.
If participants would like to move on to join a new gym or sports club, an Uplifted worker can support them to do this.
