Description
Hey dykes (and dyke-adjacent) 🫶
Welcome to BDE (Big Dyke Energy) Barbell Club - a social functional bodybuilding session for sapphics, focused on getting built and taking up space 🦖. We're not here to shrink, snatch waists or curve booties 🙅♀️🍑. Programming for capped shoulders, big backs, exposed abs, strong glutes, thick thighs and popping forearms 😮💨.
WHAT TO EXPECT
💪🏼 Masc/Andro-leaning body recomposition + a bit of sapphic-specific endurance 👀 (yes, unfortunately, there may be some cardio)
🏋️♀️ Bodybuilding, CrossFit and HYROX elements → predominantly functional bodybuilding focused
🔥 Rx (advanced) and Foundational (beginner) options programmed
⏰ 1.5hr session → expect AMRAPs, EMOMs and partner workouts + a Challenge
👭 A social session, not 1:1 coaching → we train alongside you and keep an eye on things
🤸 Worth having a little training experience first → total beginners can book a 30 or 60 min intensive with Sarah beforehand
🌈 Equal parts queer social event and lifting session → lax, respectful, and here to celebrate sapphics lifting heavy shit
☕️ Coffee at Sonny's Cafe after

FAQs
- Can I bring my Kids?
Yes, 100% they're welcome. However, they will need to be supervised at all times and kept off the gym floor during sessions where possible.
At Flava, we have an enclosed kids corner. But don't forget - your child, your responsibility 🫶
- If I am AFAB/ AMAB/ Trans/ Non-Binary can I still train with BDE?
Anyone can train with BDE, provided they identify with or are adjacent to the "Sapphic" umbrella.
We would love to know your pronouns; please don't hesitate to educate us.
- I have injuries/ health issues that may prevent me from training?
Sessions are run by an accredited exercise physiologist but are not facilitated to provide clinical supervision and modifications.
If you are concerned, please book with Sarah for an Exercise Physiology session, and she can show you how to manage and modify your impairments.If you choose to participate, and the programming is going to put you at risk - you are expected to understand your own alternative non-contraindicated modifications. We are 10/10 happy to help you with modifications though (we'd rather you tell us) - just hit us up beforehand.
- Are you holding BDE on any other day than Saturday?
Potentially - if there's a call for it, we may be able to do the occasional Sunday.
- Will you be holding any session North-Side?
Absolutely, as of 2027 - watch this space.
