Strong for Life

A 10-week course to build strength, confidence & capability

You know you need to be increasing your bone density, but the gym has never felt like your place.

Maybe you’ve tried classes, followed online workouts, or done nothing for a while. Either way, you’re ready to feel stronger and more confident again, but you want to do it your way.

The Strong for Life Course gives you the knowledge, skills, and support to get there, in a way that feels approachable, adaptable, and sustainable.

Starts Tuesday 30th September
Weekly live coaching + Q&A, expert guests, and pre-recorded workouts

 “I’ve been lifting more in my 50s than I ever did in my 20s, and I’ve never felt better.”

Maggie, WildStrong Member

What is the Strong for Life Course?

It’s a 10-week live online course that teaches you how to strength train safely and effectively, even if you’ve never lifted before, so you can build bone density, muscle mass, and real-life strength.

You’ll train alongside others, with clear instruction, progressive workouts, and live support every week - so you can ask all the questions you need to!

And because strength training is just one part of a healthy, active life, you’ll also learn how to fit it into everything else you love to do.

Why we made this course

The internet is full of conflicting advice and quick fixes.

Most gym programmes are designed for aesthetics or competition, not for the long-term strength and resilience you actually need. Most online programmes are pre-recorded which means a lot of us sign up and never complete them!

We wanted to create something different:

  • Clear, evidence-based guidance for midlife

  • A supportive community that keeps you accountable

  • Skills and confidence you can carry into every part of your life

What you’ll learn

Step-by-step introduction to medium-to-heavy strength training that builds both confidence and capability — and helps you understand why each movement matters.

And you’ll come away with knowledge that lasts far beyond the final week.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Build bone density with safe, progressive loading through essential lifts like squats, deadlifts, presses, and pulls

  • Develop whole-body strength that makes everyday life easier — from carrying shopping to climbing stairs without effort

  • Integrate impact training (like safe jumping and landing) to help stimulate bone growth and improve coordination

  • Adapt every exercise for where you’re at right now, so you can start lighter if you’re new, or challenge yourself if you’ve been training for a while

What happens each week?

Starting 8pm Tuesday 30th September, we’ll be with you every week for 10 weeks, with:

  • Live coaching call or Guest Workshops (Tuesdays 8pm) + Q&A

  • Two progressive pre-recorded follow along workouts you can do at home or outdoors.

  • Access to the pre-recorded movement library - Why each movement matters and how to scale it to work for you.

  • 20 minute pre-recorded follow along mobility session - to use as a warm up or on the days where you don’t have time to workout.

  • Support in the private online forum (to share your wins, your wobbles and ask any questions between the calls)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • It’s for you if:

    • You’re 40–65+ and want to feel stronger without joining a gym

    • You want to improve bone density safely

    • You value clear, simple guidance over fitness fads

    • You want long-term strength, not just short-term results

    It’s not for you if:

    • You’re looking for high-intensity bootcamps or quick fixes

    • You don’t want to commit to two–three sessions a week

    • You’re not interested in learning why as well as how

  • That’s exactly who this course is for. We’ll start with the fundamentals, teach you each movement step-by-step, and provide regressions (easier versions) and progressions (harder versions) so you can move at your own pace.

    You’ll have follow-along videos, clear written guidance, and ongoing support (weekly live Q&As and the online forum) so you always know what to do next.

  • We meet live on Zoom at 8:00 pm UK time every Tuesday for a coaching and Q&A session - plus guest expert weeks with Alison and Wendy. 

    You’ll also get two pre-recorded strength workouts each week as well as a 20 mobility session you can use as a warm up or do anytime. 

    If you can fit in two workouts a week, you’ll be doing brilliantly. Three is even better.

    Don’t forgot, you have lifetime access so if life throws a spanner in the way, you can start back up when things calm down.

  • We’ve designed this program with regressions and alternatives for a wide range of needs - from recently diagnosed osteoporosis to post-surgery recovery (like hip replacement), chronic back pain, or mobility challenges.

    If you have any medical concerns, please check with your healthcare provider or physiotherapist first, then email us for a chat before you book - info@wildstrong.co

  • We’ll send you a full kit list before the course starts - with budget-friendly options and suggestions for using what you already have. You don’t need a home gym. 

    Most people will use the following:

    • a kettlebell,

    • a strongman sandbag, a

    • a suspension trainer

    We’ll give alternatives so you can get started without spending a fortune.

  • You’re right, we usually teach a wide variety of movement skills, from climbing to crawling to playful partner challenges.

    But strength training is a vital part of that bigger picture. It’s one piece of the pie that supports everything else - helping you build the bone density, muscle mass, and joint stability that make everyday movement (and play!) easier and safer. Plus, it’s the part that a lot of us find scary to start, so we’re here to help with that part.

    This course focuses on strength because it’s one of the most effective ways to protect your body as you age, so you can keep enjoying all the other movement and play for years to come.


  • We get it, it’s easy to start strong and then lose momentum. That’s why this course is built around connection and accountability.

    You’ll join a live call every Tuesday evening at 8pm (including guest sessions), get access to a private student forum, and have ongoing support between sessions.

    This isn’t a “buy it and disappear” programme, we’ll be learning, training, and checking in together every week.
