Lift and Learn teaches young people to train their body and focus their mind through strength & conditioning gym-based training and learn how to support this through healthy behaviours. It is not just about working on and conditioning the body; this programme aims to support with young people’s mindset and help them implement behavioural change. We will have a nonphysical part to each day where we discuss risk; choices and consequences; exploitation; discipline; resilience; healthy relationships; aspirations and much more. Through implementation of structured training and coaching the project aims to create behavioural change by instilling ideas relating to determination; discipline; and commitment. The programme consists of 1-hour gym-based session and then 1-hour interactive group work session where we discuss topical conversations; using lived experiences to offer support and guidance; this is where we have our most important conversations- light refreshments will also be provided.
