Most of the stories my clients tell me about getting stronger have almost nothing to do with how they look.

It’s stuff like…

“I moved all that equipment by myself.”

“I went on this hike and everyone else was dying and I was fine.”

“I danced all night and never got tired.”

Or someone being truly surprised by what they can lift, carry, move or handle.

And maybe my favorite… they stop automatically assuming they can’t do something.

Of course we care how we look. Building muscle changes your body and it’s pretty damn fun to see.

But after doing this for a long time, I think one of the coolest things about getting strong is how much ✨bigger your world gets✨.

You can do more.
You trust your body more.
You stop hesitating before you try something hard.

That’s the stuff people tell me about between sets.

And as a trainer, that’s the stuff I never get tired of hearing.

Oh yeah… and Hilary got her FIRST CHIN-UP this week. 🔥 (and then went for another!)

Parents… don’t get distracted by the flashy stuff.

I know all the sport-specific drills look cool on Instagram…. but most young athletes don’t need complicated workouts.

They need to get stronger.

Before we add banded throws, fancy drills, and all the sport-specific stuff, I want kids to learn how to move well, control their bodies, and build real strength.

Because stronger athletes are usually faster, more powerful, more resilient and less prone to injury.

The goal isn’t to make the workout look like the sport.

The goal is to build a stronger athlete FOR the sport.

The boring ol’ basics are what make everything else better.

What’s your favorite?

What if you worked your ass off for 30m twice a week with full body, high effort, efficient training?

You’d realize you didn’t need more workouts. You needed smarter, efficient strength training that fits your life and gets better results.

Pair that with:
- Common sense nutrition
- Being active

A decade later, you’re still strong

That’s what I care about 👌🏻💪🏻

2x/week full body training works if you’re willing to work your ass off for 30 minutes. Ladies- you with me?

Train hard. Recover outside. Live fully.

60. 46.
Birthday reps. ✨

A challenge, yes.
But also a privilege.

Not everyone gets to celebrate another year by proving what their body can still do.

These women do. 💪💫

Strong women age differently.
