Free workshop

You've been squatting for two years. Do you know if your technique’s right?

Most people never get properly taught the big 3 lifts. They copy what they've seen online and hope for the best.

This is a practical session on Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift, run by the whole Habitat coaching team.

Sunday 25 October, 9:30–11:00am at Habitat Gym, Prestons NSW.

Free. Limited to 25 spots.

I agree to terms & conditions and to receive text messages and emails from Habitat Gym.

Not just another workshop

Most people never get taught this

Most people can squat, bench and deadlift. Fewer know why their coach programs it the way they do, or the difference between a hard set and a risky one.

This workshop covers:

Proper technique for squat, bench press and deadlift
Breathing and bracing, so you're lifting safely under load
What strength means, and how you train for it specifically
What RPE and RIR mean, and how to use them to judge your own intensity
Putting all of it together on the big 3, live, with a coach watching

Two things people ask before they REGISTER

You won't be the only one

still figuring this out

Nobody gets left behind

Most people who come to Big Lifts have never had a coach watch their squat before. That's normal, and it's exactly why we cap it at 25 and bring five coaches. Whatever your starting point, nobody gets left working it out alone in the corner.

It's not a sales pitch

This isn't 90 minutes of coaching followed by a pitch. No upsell in the room, no pressure. If there's anything for attendees at the end, it's a genuine thank you for showing up, not a hard sell.

BEHIND HABITAT GYM

Built by a husband and wife who wanted more for their community

Habitat Gym was founded in 2023 by Jeannie and Ben, a husband wife duo. With 2 decades of personal training and exercise physiology experience between them, they knew they could create a gym, a space, a third place for their surrounding community to feel empowered, comfortable and supported.

Habitat was born out of wanting to share their tried and tested training programs to the wider community. Since its opening, Habitat quickly evolved into a thriving community of over 100 like-minded individuals that have built lasting strong habits.

When you become a Habitat Member, you're not just joining workout sessions, you're joining our community.

BEFORE YOU REGISTER

Questions people ask

Is this actually free?

Yes. No card details needed to register.

I've never touched a barbell. Can I still come?

Yes. We'd rather teach you from scratch than have you guess your way through it, and with five coaches on the floor you won't be left to work it out alone.

What should I bring?

Comfortable training gear and closed shoes. We'll have everything else.

What if I can't lift the standard barbell weight?

Every lift gets adjusted to suit you on the day. This is coaching, not a competition.
