[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - thanks for the recs so far. I’ve walked past fitness together a few times on my way to corepower. Looked very mellow, which is fine.

Any specific trainers at Training Ground you liked?

W/o getting into specifics, I really don’t have the space for kettlebells, etc. Just take that one at face value. [/quote]

Do you have space to unroll a yoga mat? Then you have space for kettlebells and bands. I’m looking at my kettlebells right now and they could literally fit on a cookie sheet. You can probably get away with even less to start out - 10, 15 and 20lb. They could also go on the bottom shelf of a bookshelf. [/quote]

You’re pretty insistent in a not at all helpful way. I should add that I’m already pretty fit and strong. 
I want to get into heavier weights. Little kettlebells are not what I’m looking for. [/quote]

Are you already deadlifting more than 100lbs? Seriously, kettlebells are small. You could use 2 50lb weights. I get preferring to workout in a gym, or with a bar (which takes up more space, yes). But since this is a public website,[b] I’d like women to know [/b]they can lift at home with kettlebells without needing much space at all. [/quote]
Then perhaps you should start your own thread to inform the women of the world? OP asked for a specific thing and specifically doesn't want to do what you keep advising her to do. Once is fine, but 3x is a bit much.[/quote]

I made 2 posts. The rest are all in response to people who would rather nitpick over imagined internet rules than actually have a conversation about women’s fitness. Ok you do you. [/quote]
NP. Thank you for explaining more about strength training at home! I can't afford the kind of specialized one-on-one training boutique gym that OP and PPs are low-key sockpupper promoting.  [/quote]
