New Strength Training Research (ACSM 2026) the 1st published evidence based in 17 years.

The American College of Sports Medicine has released new strength training research based on 30,000+ people and it reinforces......

You don’t need complicated workouts to get stronger.

Here’s what this means for you:
Strength/Resistance training 2–3 times per week
Consistency beats doing loads one week and nothing the next.

You don’t need to lift heavy all the time. Strength can improve with moderate weights and good effort.

Short sessions still work 20–30 minutes of focused strength training can be enough.

Moving weights fast can help build power. This improves everyday strength, balance and resilience.

What could this look like in your sessions?

Include simple power-based movements like:
• Fast sit-to-stands
• Kettlebell swings
• Push press with dumbbells
• Step-ups performed with intent

Benefits for you:
• Improved strength for everyday life
• Better balance and coordination
• Reduced injury risk
• Increased confidence with movement
• More efficient workouts

The main takeaway:
You don’t need perfect training. You just need consistent, structured strength work and that’s exactly what we always focus on.

Power Sculpt 60 is now in Wheatley, Oxfordshire.

If you’re already fairly active and looking for a class that will properly challenge you, this could be just the thing.

Each one-hour session includes:
– 20 minutes of energising cardio
– 20 minutes of resistance & strength work
– 20 minutes of Pilates-inspired core

It’s a full-body workout designed to push you, build strength and improve overall fitness. I keep the sessions supportive and encouraging, but this isn’t a beginner class — you’ll need a reasonable base level of fitness.

£10 per class.

Please bring a mat and water, and wear trainers and comfortable workout clothes.

Spaces are limited so I can keep it personal. If you’d like to join me on Thursday 12th March, message me or email [email protected] to book your place.

See you Thursday.
