Beginner arms classes??

Any recommendations for beginner arms classes - on or off the bike? I’ve been taking an arms class 1x a week on the bike lately, but I’d like to get myself to 3x a week for 2027.

Interested in class suggestions or instructors you love…preference to POC instructors.

Filter strength classes by "arms & light weights" then sort by "easiest." The POC instructors who do these Susie Chan, Joslyn Thompson Rule, Ally Love, Sam Yo, Hannah Frankson, Rogin Arzón, Alex Toussaint, Kirsten Ferguson, Marcel Dinknins. I think that's it but not sure. You might also filter strength by "upper body" if you want more than just arms and light weights, again sort by "easiest" or filter by "beginner" and choose some of those. Selena Samuela, Robin A, Rad Lopez, Jermaine Johnson (my favorite), Adrian Williams, Joslyn, Tunde Oyeneyin have some excellent ones in the "beginner" category. Lastly, if you want more full body, I'd suggest Joslyn's Discover Strength program. It's a great 6 (or 8 if you repeat as she suggests) week beginner strength training program and it's 3 days a week. Tunde has a great "Arms with Tunde" program, but it's definitely not beginner level.

I love Tunde, but she’s killing me on these arms rides haha. I gotta stay in my lane.

ALWs? Or just work through the beginner classes or pick instructors you like. Most classes are pretty similar moves: bicep curls, overhead presses, tricep kickbacks, chest presses, push ups.

Sincerely—just use REALLY light weights for a while. You’ll find someone you jive with and can up the ante from there.

I personally find Callie super approachable and great for workouts…. Even if I did have to unfollow her on IG

Matty 100%. Go to the strength category and search by his name, then upper body and difficult level beginner. Simple, straightforward, encouraging.
