What is Bone Builders?

The first program of our new season begins with building a strong foundation, and what could be stronger than building resilient bones.

Bone Builders is a 10-week progressive program with the main focus of maintaining and building bone and muscle mass.

As we age past 30 we begin to lose muscle and bone at progressively rapid rates. Maintaining bone and mucsle is not about looking like a bodybuilder, it’s about slowing down the natural decline and maintaining strength as we age, and it starts earlier than we think!

This twice weekly program is ideal for participants interested in the foundations of weight and impact training. If you have osteoporosis or osteopenia this is a great program to start adding more strength to your weekly routine.

Options will be provided for different levels and Kathryn will be available during and after the live classes for Q&A if needed.

Building strong bones takes time, start with us

Bone and muscle start to decline in our late 30’s which means it’s never too early (or late) to begin this type of training.

Bone and muscle can be built at any age, but building bone requires specific training.

Swimming, cycling, and walking are great for exercise, but not great for the maintenance and resilience of strong bones.

“Thank you for the amazing classes, as always! I had a baby in April, and my body and capacities changed SO dramatically. It has been so great to take your classes as I started moving again — the emphasis on what you feel instead of what you do really helped me reconnect to a body that felt foreign to me.
