Strength training is for EVERY body! You may have heard about strength training before, but have you heard of size-inclusive strength training? This way of training benefits everyone, all body sizes, because it encourages listening to your body and moving away from society’s messages that we should always be unhappy with our bodies. Ready to […]

In past articles, I’ve talked about which exercises to do and the benefits of them, but the missing link is how you’re doing these exercises. This is where strength training goals come in! Now, these goals are different than your greater goal (or your why) for working out. Your greater goal might be something like […]

“Should I lift weights?” I’ve heard this question many times. I’m a little biased (hey, strength coach here), but my answer is yes! You should start lifting weights!

We’re going deep today! Instead of talking about reps or specific exercises, we’re going to talk about about a strength training system. The […]

I’m going to take us back to the end of last year, December 27th, 2023. I was in Asheville, North Carolina at a week-long lindy hop event. Aside from seeing lots of friends, my main goals were to 1) check out Asheville because I’d never been before, and 2) dance as much as possible with […]

I wanted to start off this new blog with the story of how I became a strength coach! It’s been a bit of a journey, as I only got certified as a personal trainer in November 2020 when I was 28. Moral of the story: Anyone, and I mean anyone, can start strength training and […]
