Want to work on a strong, muscular upper body? Then our Upper Body Strength session is the right addition to your week. This workout, a variant of our Small Group Training – is aimed entirely at building muscle in the upper body, with a firm focus on chest, abs, shoulders, upper back and arms.

In these sessions we push you to muscle failure, so expect hard sets, a real burn and results you can feel. The emphasis is on the upper body, but we certainly do not forget the legs and lower back – this is a complete, functional workout.

With a maximum of six people per group you get all the personal coaching you need, in a motivating and energetic setting.

A member's review

Why do you train?
I love sport: I do a lot of bouldering and I really enjoy padel too. I like the gym less, but I do it for my health, to keep my muscle mass up. Strong muscles also help me in the other sports I do!
Why at BerkSports?
Years ago, when Ricardo was still teaching Small Group Training at another gym, I got in touch with him. I was working out at that gym, but honestly found it pretty boring and regularly skipped a week. At Ricardo's Small Group Training I have a fixed slot in the schedule and I am expected every week. That helps me enormously.
What do you notice?
Since I started doing Upper Body Strength, I have noticed that my upper body has become genuinely stronger. My arms, shoulders and back are a lot stronger, and that helps me with climbing. That is really great.
