LEVEL 01
The Lab
Semi private group classes · Open enrolment · Entry point into the system
"I want to get strong and learn this properly."
The Lab is where every BWB athlete starts. It’s our semi private training program run in 8-12 week training blocks. It’s designed to help women build strength, learn skills and make consistent progress in bodyweight training.
Most women come to us after spending years working out, doing classes and sessions that didn’t give them the progress they wanted. They were given scaled exercises instead, when what they need is a progression map that connected to a specific goal.
Whether that goal is your first chin up, a freestanding handstand, more upper body strength or simply feeling stronger and more capable in your body, The Lab is designed to develop the strength, movement quality and foundational skills that make those goals possible.
What you're building in The Lab:
Strength: functional, transferable strength built specifically for bodyweight strength / calisthenics progression
Skills: hand balances, chin ups, levers and other calisthenics skills developed through clear progressions
Foundations: the positions, movement capacity and physical prerequisites that advanced skills are built on
Progression Maps: a strategic map of where you are, where you’re going, and what needs to be built next
why everyone starts at Level 01:
Every woman arrives with a different goal, training history and starting point.
The Lab gives us the opportunity to identify what needs to be built first, what is already in place and what the fastest path towards your goal looks like. View the timetable here

LEVEL 02
The PROGRAM
next level · Customised program · Invite only
"I've been training. Now i’m ready for the next level."
The The Program is where Axis Theory™ starts working at an individual level. You've built the base in The Lab. Now your training becomes more targeted, more specific and more closely aligned with the goal you're working towards.
Whether it’s a press handstand, muscle up or any of the advanced bodyweight strength skills, every athlete receives an individual training program built around her goals, strengths, limitations and training history.
Between one on one reviews, video feedback, direct messaging and face to face coaching, support is always within reach. Our highest touch training option outside of private coaching.
Can’t make the coached group times? Train independently at BWB with gym access.
What changes at Level 02:
Training becomes more individualised. Your program is built around your specific goals, strengths, limitations and training history, with ongoing support through one on one reviews, video feedback, direct messaging and face to face coaching. Progress is measured against clear markers, and skill development becomes far more precise. Nothing vague like "work towards a handstand", but understanding exactly where you are, what's missing and what comes next.
Entry:
Invitation from your coach following assessment in The Lab. We will tell you when you're ready.

LEVEL 03
The INTENSIVE
mastery · 1:1 coaching · Invite only
"I have a specific goal. I want the full system behind me to get there."
The Intensive is the highest level of support Bodyweight Brigade offers. You are here because you have a specific outcome - a skill, a strength standard, a competition goal, a performance target, injury rehab - and you need everything the system has to offer pointed directly at it.
At this level, your coach is working with you 1:1. Every session has a clear purpose within a longer arc. Every training decision is made with the full picture of your data, your history inside the system, and your specific goal in view.
The Intensive is about the system operating at its highest resolution with razor sharp focus.
What The Intensive includes:
Fully customised programming designed around a single goal (or 3)
Regular one on one coaching sessions
Ongoing coach communication and feedback between sessions
Full gym access for independent training
Progress tracked against clearly defined performance markers
Entry:
Invite only. Available to women who have progressed through The Lab and Program Track and are ready to uplevel.

THE TRIAL
The easiest way in
Not sure where you fit? Start here.
The 1 week trial is the entry point for every new BWB member. It gives you full access to The Lab - classes, coaching and the actual system - before you commit to anything.
By the end of the week, you'll know exactly where you sit in the Axis Theory progression and what the right next step is for your body. We'll tell you. That's part of what the trial is for.

FAQs
The things people ask.
-
Because instead of a program, we’re offering you a system. A system that helps you take control of your training until you eventually don’t need us anymore.
And this is how we do it:
The levels, the skill pathway and the competition series all run on the same engine that is continuously developing you as a bodyweight athlete. That means regardless of where you are in the system, you are building something the next stage of your training requires.
The three levels help you avoid gaps that appear later in your training journey as plateaus, compensation patterns or injuries.
-
-
Yes.
The system has specific markers that we establish in The Lab. You may not need to stay at this level for long, but it's still an important step because it allows our coaches to determine where you fit within the system and what your next stage should be.
-
On our schedule, you’ll see Lab 1, 2 and 3. These are progressive sessions that work together to develop your strength, skill and mobility across a cycle.
This is where you begin regardless of your level.
Don’t worry about the other classes for now.
-
If your goal is to move into the MatriarX track, we recommend training three or more times per week.
If your goal is simply to get stronger at your own pace, two sessions per week is absolutely fine.
-
You don't have to do anything.
Our goal is to move you into MatriarX when you're ready because we've already mapped out the training journey for you.
You will make progress in The Lab, but we also know from 1.5 decades of coaching women, that your body adapts. Eventually it needs a different stimulus and a different level of training to keep progressing.
MatriarX is the next adaptation phase, designed for the seasoned athlete who wants to continue progressing.
Still have questions?
We'd expect that. We don't run a typical gym and the system takes a minute to understand properly. Send us a message and we'll answer everything.
