Strength 101.

The class that built half the PRs in our community. Squat, bench, deadlift and press — done with intent, coached on every rep.

What is Strength at Pulse?

Strength at Pulse is exactly what it sounds like: an hour of progressive overload on the lifts that move the needle the most. We're not chasing soreness. We're not chasing sweat. We're chasing strength — measurable, weekly, on the bar.

Every block runs four weeks. Each week we add reps, weight or quality. By the end of the block you've added load to your top set. Simple, brutal, repeatable. Marcus runs the show, Tony backs him up on Saturdays. Both have spent enough time under heavy bars to know what works for an absolute beginner and what works for a 200kg deadlifter — and how to scale between the two.

The room never holds more than twelve people. That means we can actually watch every set, cue every rep, and load the bar correctly. No one is left wandering between machines wondering if they're doing it right.

60-minute breakdown

10m

Warm-up

Mobility flow, activation, light barbell drills. By the end you're hot and the bar feels light.

25m

Main lift

One big lift — squat, bench, deadlift or press — worked up to a heavy top set with coached form.

15m

Accessory

2-3 supplementary movements that fix weak points: rows, lunges, presses, posterior chain work.

10m

Cool-down

Decompress the spine, mobilise the hips, breathe. Walk out feeling better than you walked in.

Who it's for

You'll fit right in if…

  • You've never picked up a barbell — but you want to start properly.
  • You've been lifting for years and you're tired of guessing. You want structure.
  • You like the idea of being measurably stronger this month than last.
