BERWICK’S FEMALE ONLY GYM

We take pride in the clean and safe space we’ve created at HQ. You’ll find plenty of room to train because we keep numbers limited. 

Plus, we’ve got the tunes pumping and we’re cheering each other on. You won’t see people avoiding eye contact or never cleaning down equipment. At Lioness HQ, we work as a team. 

Oh and did we mention we’ve got a sauna? 

Yep, Lioness HQ has everything you need for optimal training.

leTS GET REAL FOR A MOMENT

There’s a ridiculous amount of trash information about lifting weights out there.

So we want to bust some myths for you.

STRENGTH TRAINING WILL:

✔️ Boost your mood

✔️ Improve your brain health (goodbye brain fog)

✔️ Build your self-esteem

✔️ Improve your mobility and flexibility (yes, you can reach the top shelf!)

✔️improve your heart health (more room for big love)

✔️ Help you build lean muscle for weight loss

And of course, make you stronger! (Plus a whole other bunch of cool things.)

WHAT IT WON’T DO:

✖ Make you look like a man

✖ Damage your joints (if you want a strong body no matter your age, weight lifting is a must!)

✖ Burn less fat than cardio (you don’t need to run 5K every day to lose weight)

✖ Cause back injuries (as long as you nail your technique!)

✖ Make you lose all of your divine curves

OUT OF THE MOUTHES OF BABES… LITERALLY…

  • No words could describe how incredible my time with Lioness has been!

    “In one year, I’ve noticed the most immense, life-changing impacts I've had both physically and mentally! Before joining I was spiraling down into a negative mindset with limiting food, overtraining, disrupted sleep, and extremely low self-esteem!

    Since joining Lioness I’m eating more than ever, have actually lost weight whilst doing so, have gained muscle and feel stronger than ever. Not only this, I have found the positive influence goes across many facets of my life - I sleep better, have a better relationship with food and can live my life and go out with friends without the same guilt I used to hold, and have more energy and fulfillment in life and training!

    The sessions have so much variety and are always challenging and something I look forward to every day. For someone who gets bored easily, I’ve never found a session boring and feel like a kid in a candy shop with every new program that’s brought out. Every day of training with Lioness feels like Christmas! I’m so glad to be a part of this family, community, and lifelong journey" — Maddi

  • To say joining the Lioness family has changed my life would be an understatement.

    “It has changed my views on not only training but also nutrition. I didn’t have much knowledge about training and I found myself just running to keep fit because I thought lifting weights would make me look big and ‘man-like’, but the education Lioness has provided for both training and nutrition is unreal. The ladies guide me as soon as I need, whenever I need a hand. They support me 100% of the way and always help me stay on track towards my goals. I can’t thank Lioness enough for everything they’ve taught me and supported me with.

    I’ve never lifted so heavy in my life and I’m f**king loving it!!! I used to think of training as a chore but I can genuinely say that I actually look forward to training because of Bec’s programs! Joining the lioness family was easily the best decision I’ve ever made for my health and fitness journey, and we’re only just getting started. Lioness is the real MVP!!!!” — Taylah
