Want to try it? DM me to set up a 5 minute free demo that’ll send you wobbling out the door wondering if you’ve ever actually trained your legs properly.

Ours is one of the first Avengers ever built — medical-grade precision from the creators of

One set. Full depth. Controlled tempo.
You’ll understand why my clients only need 30 minutes twice a week.

A proper warm-up shouldn’t feel easy - it should prepare you to perform.

Squat-to-press hits everything: quads, glutes, shoulders, triceps, core. It builds heat, coordination, and focus in one move.

Work smarter, not longer.

Dips are one of the best upper-body movements you can do: chest, shoulders, triceps, and core all working together. 💥
They’re often called the upper-body squat for a reason.

And as a woman there’s nothing like feeling your own strength. Knowing you can push, pull, and move your body with power.

Start with assisted reps, stay consistent and do them 1-2x a week.

Pilates body? Cute marketing. 🤨. Strong body? That’s science. Pilates makes you bendy (it’s a benefit to add it with strength training!) but strength training makes you capable 💪🏻.

If you want muscle, stronger bones, and a body that carries you through life - Lifting is the absolute non-negotiable. Everything else is just bonus.

When I told my favorite world champion powerlifter I’d done deadlifts last week, his response wasn’t what you’d expect.

“Why you doin’ that? Just don’t.”

Not exactly the hype I thought I’d get. But he’s right.

Even I forget my own advice sometimes — as a trainer, there’s this pressure to “do the big lifts” because it looks legit. But really…

👉 Your muscles don’t care if it’s a squat, trap bar, or leg press.

👉 Safer alternatives can build the same strength.

👉 Progress comes from consistency and effort, not chasing someone else’s standard.

Strong doesn’t have to mean “at any cost”. Find the lifts that let you train hard and keep moving forward.

💬 Do you feel pressure to squat/deadlift, or do you stick with what works for you?

If your plan doesn’t work with kids, bills, and chaos… it doesn’t work. Period. The real flex is getting strong & fit without burning down your actual life. 💪🏻✨

Tomorrow’s the day you actually lift instead of “going to the gym.”

If you show up to my group class tomorrow, you might just leave with arms poppin’ like this. 💪🏻

📍 9:00–9:30 AM
🔥 30 minutes
🏋🏻‍♀️ Full-body strength
💵 $12

Beginner? I got you.
Advanced? I’ll push you.

Either way, you’ll get more done in 30 minutes than you did in those two hours you spent at the gym earlier this week… scrolling Instagram for a “shoulder day” routine you never found.

(And yeah, I know you just ended up doing treadmill and abs. Again.)

See you in the morning?

Some of y’all spend a lot of time arguing about which tool is “best”…

Tires. Sleds. Indian clubs. Olympic lifts. Barbells. Machines. Chains. Atlas stones.

But here’s the thing: No tool matters if you don’t know how and when to use it. 🗣️

Literally anything can build strength if it’s applied with purpose.

So when people ask, “What’s better?” My first question is: “Better for what?”

Quality training can get repetitive. Adding some variety to the foundation keeps things interesting, challenges new patterns, and gives people room to grow … physically and mentally.

Being a good coach is about applying principles that work … safely, progressively, and with purpose.

I’ve had the privilege of learning from and training with world record-holding lifters and world-class coaches… 🥇

And you know what they all have in common? They stay open. They keep learning. They coach the person - not the ego.

I’m not here to be the best at being loud. I’m here to be the best at coaching real people into real results without breaking their body or spirit.

It’s easy to look like a good trainer when your clients already move like athletes. 👀

You know what’s actually impressive?

Helping someone who feels awkward, uncoordinated, and afraid of the gym… turn into someone who feels powerful, confident, and strong as hell.

That’s the kind of coaching I care about. And that’s what I do best. ♥️

And that just might include the occasional “car pushes in the parking lot” as a finisher that’ll challenge your strength, endurance and grit.

Or maybe you’ll catch me deadlifting in a pirate costume….being strong AF and unserious at the same time. ✨

Grateful to coach people who are out here doing the work - and proving that strength comes in a lot of forms. 💪🏻

“Mom, we look like two teenagers!”

First of all… My daughter is my biggest hype girl and I love that 😍

Second of all… That doesn’t happen by accident.

▫️ I strength train twice a week for 30 minutes.
▫️ I walk.
▫️ I stay active.
▫️ I do a spin class 3 to 4 times a month.
▫️ I dance.
▫️ I do breath work and things to keep my stress in check.
▫️ I eat a common sense diet about 80% of the time

Fitness is my profession, but it’s not my whole life. It’s just one of the ways I honor my life.

And you don’t need a 6-pack, 2-hour workouts, or to obsess over every bite to feel strong, confident, and good in your skin.

You just need a real plan that fits your life….and someone in your corner who actually gets it.

📲 If you want that1 Message me “STRONG” and I’ll send you the easiest way to get started.

No extremes. No BS. Just results that last.

💪🏻
