Every person's needs are unique. Similarly, every person's areas of strength and opportunity are also unique. If you choose to work out in a group session, it's important to remember that what exercise works for you may not work for someone else - or vice versa! For that reason I encourage you to focus on your own progress and do your best not to compare yourself to the progress of those around you. I also encourage you to cheer on your peers as they get stronger and confident in their own bodies. Our time together is intended to be one of community and camaraderie, not comparison and unhealthy competition. I intentionally set my groups to be small and intimate, so that they foster a sense of belonging as you advance your skills in strength training.

No. Each session is individually coached within a shared workout that progresses over time: your form, your load, your pace, adjusted for you, alongside two other people doing the same workout.

Forever! As you get older, your bone density will thank you for it.

Permanent change doesn't happen overnight, nor does it happen in just a few weeks! 6-8 weeks is usually when your body starts to adapt to performing new movements through weight lifting.

A 3-month period is usually where you may start to actually feel different or notice transformation in your physique or energy levels. How long it will take to build a healthy lifestyle that consists of strength training will entirely depend on your consistency and your personal motivations behind training. Knowing your “why” will help you build the motivation to keep going.

Strength training 2-3x/week is ideal to help you get stronger and notice change. If you are new to strength training, training with a coach the entire time will expedite the learning process. However, you can also choose to strength train with your coach less often and train on your own the other days of the week. Regardless, it is important to make sure that you are following a program that advances your load, complexity, and intensity over time. This concept is called progressive overload and is a necessary component to getting stronger. Without a program of this kind, it will take you much longer to gain strength or only allow you to maintain (or lose relative strength) over time.

The answer is most likely no. "Bulking" takes extreme effort, specialized training, and a high-calorie diet—things most women don’t accidentally do. Unless you are specifically training for a body building competition, you are unlikely to get bulky when you strength train.

After several years of training and athletics, I have grown a deep value and appreciation for building strength from the ground up. This means working on our feet! While it is not required, I do encourage my clients to train barefoot when they are able. This means either completely bare, in socks, or using minimalist footwear. I am happy to recommend minimalist footwear when we begin working together.

No. Book whichever of the 5 weekly slots works for you that week. Some people settle into a regular rhythm naturally — that's welcome, just not required.

Cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your session, no questions asked. Inside that window, the session counts as used — it keeps things fair for the other two people who own that space with you.

This is exactly the space for that. Coaching is real-time and personal — you're not left to figure out the movement on your own.
