Beginner Strength Training – LV1 / LV2: learn the basics clearly, then move forward
Beyoung Training splits learning to lift into two stages, LV1 and LV2. Our studio is in the Wenshan area of Sanmin District, Kaohsiung, close to the Fengshan area. When most people first try weight training, what holds them back usually isn't fitness. It's not knowing where to start, which movement comes first, or where the body should be when applying force. That's exactly what these two classes deal with.
LV1 makes your squat and the way you apply force stable. LV2 then builds full-body loading ability with the deadlift. Once you understand how to stay stable, how force travels through your body, and where a movement should go, you'll have a clearer direction for whatever comes next: the Free-Weight Group Class, personal training, or training on your own at a gym.
We've seen many people at the studio who really want to train but never found a clear way to start. Their hands shake the first time they grip the bar, and after two squats they look up and ask, "Am I doing this right?" A solid start is what lets you keep going later, and that's what these two classes aim to give you first.
What you learn in LV1 and LV2
Both classes are about learning the basic movements clearly. The difference is the main lift and training focus.

want to make your squat and the way you apply force stable first

want to work on upper-body pushing and pulling and conditioning at the same time

Why we split the beginner stage into LV1 and LV2
When there's too much to remember at once, most people forget it and rush the movement. We split the beginner stage in two so each stage has enough time to make what you practice feel natural to your body, instead of understanding it in class and forgetting it the next week.
LV1 focuses on the squat and stability. Squatting isn't just about the legs. It's also about how you breathe, how you brace your core, and keeping your weight in the right place on your feet. We go through these details slowly in class, so you actually take them in instead of just following along.
LV2 adds the deadlift and brings in upper-body pushing and pulling and basic conditioning. By this point you know how to keep your body stable, and now you practice spreading force through the whole body, so you can handle more weight and keep going longer.
You can start with LV1, go straight to LV2 depending on your current level, or sign up for both to complete the whole beginner stage.

How Beginner Strength Training LV1 / LV2 works
This class is about building the fundamentals you need. You'll know what each movement does and why, and you'll learn how to choose a version and progress step by step. We follow a set structure, so every time you come you know exactly what you're working on.
Structure
Step 1 Get your body stable
We start with simple breathing and core stability drills, so your body doesn't shift around when you apply force. At this point most people start to feel the difference between "working hard" and "forcing it". They feel very different in your body.
Step 2 Make the basic movements smooth
LV1 spends more time learning the squat; LV2 spends more time on the deadlift and building conditioning. The coach first looks at the version you can do now, then adjusts the movement path bit by bit so it becomes more controlled, without changing too many things at once.
Step 3 Your next step At the end of the course, the coach will look at your movement basics and how you're learning, and help you decide whether the "Free-Weight Group Class" is a good next step, or whether "One-on-One Personal Training" is better for things that need more individual attention.
We care more about you training steadily than training a lot
Many people want to look perfect and lift heavy from the start, but if the start is messy, they often stop after a few sessions. LV1 / LV2 use clearer steps so you slowly build the feeling that "I can do this". Once you know what you're doing, training doesn't depend on willpower. You move forward one step at a time with a method.
What you'll learn in Beginner Strength Training LV1 / LV2
You don't need to know it before you come. This class is where you learn it.
It usually covers
Breathing and core stability, so it's easier to stay stable and apply force
Basic movement patterns, such as the squat, deadlift, push, and pull
Movement control and tempo, so your lifts become smoother and more consistent
Basic strength training to build full-body coordination
How to choose a version and progress step by step, so you know how to keep improving
These may look basic, but they decide how comfortable and confident you'll feel in training, and how long you'll keep going.
Is Beginner Strength Training LV1 / LV2 right for you?
If any of the following sounds like you, this class is a good fit
You haven't exercised in a long time, or don't have a regular exercise habit
Equipment and lifting make you nervous, and you don't know where to start
You want to learn solid basics before moving on to the Free-Weight Group Class
You want someone to guide you, but still like the pace of a group
You want to start in a controlled way rather than by forcing it
If right now you only want to chase heavier weights and intensity, lifting heavy and doing a lot from the start,
this class may feel too slow.
But if you want a start that lasts and gives you more confidence the more you train, this class is worth it.

FAQ
Here are the most common questions about Beginner Strength Training LV1 / LV2,
including how to start with no experience, what happens in the first class, and what to do after the course.
Can I start with no experience? I have no experience at all. Is that OK? Yes. You'll start from a version you can do, get the movement stable, and then add more gradually. You don't need to be good at it before you come. Will I fall behind everyone else? No. The purpose of this class is to make starting clear. The coach adjusts the version and pace to suit you; you just focus on making your own movement stable.
What happens in the first class? We start with breathing and core stability, then learn the basic movement patterns clearly, so you know how to stay in control and what comes next. What does this class cover? It covers breathing and core work, plus basic movement patterns such as the squat, push, and pull. We'll also help you understand how to choose a version and progress step by step, so you can keep improving afterwards.
What comes after the class? At the end of the course, the coach will talk with you about the next step based on your movement basics, how you're learning, and the support you need. If you have basic movement skills and can commit to a fixed class time, you can consider the Free-Weight Group Class. If you still need more individual attention, you can keep building your foundation with one-on-one training.
Our group classes are currently designed for adults aged 20–59. If you're 60 or older, we suggest starting with a One-on-One Trial, so the coach can understand your current condition and movement basics before suggesting a suitable way to train.
