# Lifting Ladies: Women's Strength Training Community in London
Lifting Ladies is a women-only strength training club with locations in Islington and London Fields, dedicated to empowering women through barbell training and community support. Founded on the principle that women deserve safe, inclusive spaces to lift heavy and build genuine strength, the business challenges conventional fitness culture by rejecting diet culture and celebrating every progression, regardless of scale or appearance.
The club serves women of all experience levels, from complete beginners to seasoned lifters, offering expert coaching in small, supportive groups. Their approach prioritises proper technique, sustainable progress, and the psychological benefits of strength training—confidence, empowerment, and belonging.
What sets Lifting Ladies apart is their unapologetic focus on women's specific needs in the weights room. Run entirely by women for women, they've created a counter-cultural fitness space where strength training isn't about shrinking or aesthetic goals, but about building power and community. Members repeatedly cite the transformation from feeling "completely lost in the weights area" to genuinely enjoying training.
The business offers several membership tiers including coached strength sessions, open gym access, recovery and rehab services, and regular community events. Their March welcome offer (3 sessions for £90) demonstrates accessibility and removes barriers to entry for curious newcomers.
By combining expert coaching, sisterhood, and a rejection of fitness industry toxicity, Lifting Ladies has carved out a distinctive niche within London's competitive fitness market.
