New to the gym and have no idea where to start? start here.
Get Built Basic is my 8-week beginner gym program for girls who want to get stronger, build muscle and actually feel confident walking into the gym.
You’ll train across 5 days each week, with 3 structured full-body strength sessions and 2 active recovery days focused on abs and cardio.
The program is designed to help you learn the basics properly, build confidence with your exercises and start progressing without feeling overwhelmed. You won’t be thrown into complicated workouts or random exercises every week. You’ll repeat the key movements, learn them properly and gradually get stronger over the 8 weeks.
Everything is already laid out for you in the app, including your exercises, sets, reps and demonstrations. You can log your weights and reps as you go so you can actually see yourself progressing.
You don’t need to know everything before you start. You just need a plan to follow.

You don’t need to know everything before you start. You just need a plan you can follow. Spend the next 8 weeks learning the basics, getting stronger and becoming the girl who actually knows what she’s doing in the gym.
