Lift Like A Girl: Building Confidence in the Gym
Sunday, 12 July 2026
8:00am - 10:00am
Science of Fitness, Burleigh Heads
Join Dr Gabi Gildea for an empowering workshop designed to help young women feel confident capable, and strong in the gym.
For many women, stepping into the gym can feel intimidating. Whether it’s not knowing where to start, feeling out of place in male-dominated spaces, or second-guessing your technique — these barriers are common, and they’re valid.
At the same time, this stage of life is critical for building lifelong health habits. Strength training plays a key role in supporting physical health, mental wellbeing, confidence and long-term outcomes like bone density, muscle mass and injury resilience.
This session is designed to bridge the gap between wanting to train and actually feeling confident enough to do it.
Led in a supportive and welcoming environment, Lift Like A Girl will give you the knowledge, structure and hands-on experience you need to start strength training with confidence.
This isn’t about chasing a certain look. It’s about building strength and learning how to train with purpose.
What to expect:
A practical, evidence-based education session on strength training for women
Breaking down common myths
Learning how to structure effective gym sessions
A guided, beginner-friendly strength workout
Coaching on technique, equipment use and how to train independently
A take-home strength program template to support your next steps
Parents and guardians are welcome to stay for the duration of the event.
