Start Strong Small Group Training Program

START STRONG SMALL GROUP TRAINING

You know you should be strength training. You just haven't found a way to stick with it.

A small-group personal training program designed to help women build confidence, learn proper form, and finally make strength training part of their routine.

What You’ll Get Inside

  • An individual movement assessment before the program begins to assess your movement, mobility, strength, and any limitations or injuries so I can help you train safely and confidently.
  • 8 weeks of expert coaching: Learn proper form, build confidence, and progress safely with guidance every step of the way.
  • Weekly live small-group training sessions: Train alongside just 3–4 other women in a supportive, non-intimidating environment.
  • Real-time form corrections and exercise modifications: No guessing if you're doing an exercise correctly. I'll coach you throughout each session and adjust movements to meet you where you are.
  • A simple plan for between sessions: Each week you'll receive an additional workout or assignment to help you build consistency without feeling overwhelmed.
  • Accountability that actually works: A scheduled workout, a coach who knows you, and a small group cheering you on make it much easier to stay consistent.
  • Progressions that grow with you: As your confidence and strength improve, your workouts will too, so you're always challenged at the right level.
  • The confidence to keep going on your own: The goal isn't just to complete eight weeks. It's to leave knowing how to strength train safely, effectively, and with confidence for years to come.

Why You Need This

  • Strength training is one of the best things you can do for your health, especially as you get older, but knowing that isn't enough.
  • You don't need another workout app. You need someone to show you exactly what to do for YOUR body and how to do it safely.
  • Learning proper form from the beginning helps you build confidence and reduces your risk of injury.
  • Having a coach watching your movement means you'll get immediate feedback, encouragement, and modifications when you need them.
  • A scheduled workout creates accountability, making it much easier to stay consistent than relying on motivation alone.
  • Training in a small group of women just like you creates a supportive, encouraging environment where you can learn without feeling intimidated.
  • Building strength isn't about being perfect. It's about showing up consistently and making progress one workout at a time.
  • The confidence you gain won't end after eight weeks. You'll leave knowing how to strength train safely and independently for years to come.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, add your name to the interest list. You'll get an email asking for your preferred training times (5:30am, between 7-9, noon) and days.

Once I have 3 women for your time frame, I will send out individual emails to set everything up!

For more than 20 years, I've helped women build strength, confidence, and healthier habits through evidence-based coaching that's designed for real life.

I know getting started can be the hardest part. Maybe you've never lifted weights before. Maybe it's been years. Or maybe you've tried following apps and YouTube workouts but never felt confident you were doing the exercises correctly. That's exactly why I created Start Strong.

My goal isn't to make you feel intimidated or overwhelmed. It's to help you learn proper technique, build confidence, and discover that strength training can become something you genuinely enjoy.

I'm a working mom of three boys, so I understand how busy life can be. I believe fitness should fit into your life, not take it over.
