S&S101 is a 10-week course for gym-goers who are keen to get both bigger and stronger in the most effective way possible! With options for beginners and intermediates, the pre-planned program will teach you the fundamentals of how to leverage strength gains to kickstart muscle growth, and vice versa.
Everyone who signs up gains access to weekly one-on-one sessions lasting 60 minutes at PureGym Craigleith, with Personal Trainer Linus West. Each session will have its own dedicated focus in terms of the principles taught, while the workout will play its part in the wider plan to get you the best results possible by the end of the course!
Feeling up for the challenge? S&S101 runs from the week beginning June 22nd 2026 until the week ending August 30th, and is limited to only six spaces! Make sure to read all the relevant details below and get yourself signed on via the form linked at the bottom of the page – before applications close!
Beginners
For those who are new to the gym, every session will focus upon the ‘core’ movements of squat, bench, and deadlift. Via these three exercises you’ll learn vital principles around lifting technique, intensity, and so much more!
This will be achieved via splitting the 10 weeks into three separate ‘phases’, each with their own dedicated focus. The sequencing has also been specifically designed to peak both your strength and muscle growth by the end of the program!
| June 22nd – July 12th (3 Weeks) | July 13th – August 9th (4 Weeks) | August 10th – 30th (3 Weeks) |
| Technique | Muscle Growth | Strength |
By the end of these phases the guarantee is that you will both be far more confident under a barbell than you imagined you could be, and actively itching to keep going and realise more progress!
Intermediates
For those who have been a gym regular for a fair amount of time, the assumption will be made that you already have the basics figured out (including technique), and have hit a plateau in your progress you want to break through. You will be given the choice of focusing either on squat, bench, or deadlift – with the entire program and all of your sessions dedicated to that one lift!
To break through whatever plateau you have hit, the sessions will focus upon identifying and addressing whatever the limiting factor is – giving you the opportunity to learn principles around fatigue management, sticking points, and much more! To achieve this, the program will be divided into three distinct phases:
| June 22nd – 28th (1 Week) | June 29th – August 9th (6 Weeks) | August 10th – 30th (3 Weeks) |
| Technique & Strength Testing | Muscle Growth & Sticking Points | Strength & Recovery |
