LIFT for Women is a women’s-only strength and conditioning program with one purpose: To build confidence through strength. The style of training and the numerous tools and methods we use in LIFT create strong, capable women who are ready for any task.  

LIFT for Women began as a way to rebuild the minds and bodies of women. In the seven years as Head Coach of this program, I've seen an unmatched community of empowered, confident, and truly strong women flourish under my guidance. LIFT for Women unites mothers, grandmothers, college students, young professionals, and competitive athletes under the common goal of constantly testing and surpassing their limits. There are no levels; there is only effort, group motivation, and progress.

I’m not interested in working toward the goals society pushes on women--outdated and fragile versions of beauty, avoiding getting dirty, having muscles, or having a voice and opinion. My coaching is geared toward showing women that their power is already within them. All it takes is hard work, a supportive community of peers sweating alongside them, and some helpful guidance to come into their own strength. Every woman has this potential, no matter her age or experience.

What I ask is that you show up ready to work, willing to fail, and excited to cheer others on. My goal is to help women find their confidence and discover what they’re truly capable of--body and mind, inside and outside the gym.

LIFT is a welcome space for all women wanting to become pregnant, who are pregnant, or who just had a baby. I have coached fourteen women and fifteen pregnancies in the past seven years. Moms are welcome with open arms. 

Pregnant does not mean handicapped.

As an expecting or post-partum mom at LIFT, you will find that you're doing all the same movements as everyone else. You are a working athlete. You might be doing less, or a decreased range of motion, but you will be keeping your fitness level high throughout your pregnancy. You are preparing for the most intense workout of your life! 

In LIFT you will be surrounded by years of experince when it comes to working out while pregnant, and all of the emotion and changes that come with it. This is a special group of women who make it their daily goal while in class to lift you up and support you. 

I've dedicated the past ten years to working exclusively with women. I've learned that it's different and more rewarding than coaching in any other arena. I'm continuously reading and engaging with doulas and chiropractors to provide the best and safest pre- and post-natal fitness experience possible.
