About the club
Rua do Ouro 112, Lisbon
Oaken is a small training club in the centre of Lisbon. We coach strength, mobility and recovery in groups of eight, for people who want to stay capable for decades, not for a summer.
Every member starts with a one-to-one assessment and follows a plan their coach reviews every four weeks. No mirrors, no loud music, no leaderboard.
Your first 12 weeks
Step 01
·
Week 1
We see how you move
A one-to-one hour with your coach: posture, strength, mobility, old injuries and the life around your training. Nothing is guessed.
Step 02
·
Weeks 2 to 8
You build the base
Three sessions a week in groups of eight. Your coach adjusts load and exercises for you, inside every class, and logs what you lift.

Week 12
We review, then go again
We test again, compare with your first week and write the next block together. Most members are surprised by their own numbers.

Questions
What people ask before their first class.
I have never lifted. Can I start?
Yes. Most members start from zero. Your first session is a one-to-one assessment, and every class scales to your level.
How does the free week work?
Every plan starts with a free first week. It opens with an hour alone with a coach, then you join any class on the timetable.
Can I pause my membership?
Yes. Pauses last from two weeks to two months, up to twice a year. Set one up from your account or at the front desk.
What should I bring to my first class?
Clothes you can move in. Towels, lockers and showers are waiting at the club.
Do you have showers and lockers?
Yes. Towels, lockers and showers are part of every membership.
Can I train with an injury?
Usually, yes. Your first hour is alone with a coach, who looks at old injuries and plans your training around them.
