WeGym In-Person Workshop: Beyond “Tighten Your Abs”

Practical coaching strategies for better core bracing during exercise “Brace your core” is one of the most common cues in fitness — but many clients don’t actually know what it means or how to do it. This workshop is designed to help fitness instructors break down core bracing in a clear, practical, and client-friendly way. You’ll learn what core bracing is, why it matters for spinal stability and exercise performance, and how to teach it using simple cues, drills, and progressions. Walk away with strategies you can immediately use in personal training sessions, group classes, and strength-based workouts.
