Strength that carries over into life — lifting your suitcase, your kid, yourself up a hill. We train outdoors in the park, with weights, bodyweight and whatever Lisbon’s weather brings.

Every session is scalable: Rui sets the structure, you set the load. New to strength work? Come anyway — the first class is about learning the movements, not surviving them.

How a class goes

A dynamic warm-up, then technique on one main lift — squat, hinge or press — followed by a circuit of carries, lunges and pulls. We finish with a short conditioning round and a stretch on the grass.

Good to know

• 60 minutes, groups of up to 10

• We meet at the park entrance — look for the kettlebells

• Bring water and shoes you don’t mind getting dusty

• If it rains, we move indoors and you’ll get a message

Never lifted before?

Perfect — no bad habits to fix. Rui teaches every movement from scratch, starts you light and progresses you week by week. Most people are surprised how quickly they get strong.
