 A strength training program designed to help you build a stacked booty without burning out

$75/MONTH

Heyyy, burnt-out gym babe…

I see you out here, putting in those reps, lifting heavy sh*t, doing the most.

You’re strong. You have an amazing squad. You’re a great partner/parent/plant mom. Your career is career-ing. 

…And DAMN are you tired. 😵

The gym is the place you go to feel strong and powerful. Your lifts remind you to keep discovering what *else* you’re capable of; what *other* heavy sh*t you can handle. 

But lately, something feels off.

The workouts and recovery cycles that worked in your 20s aren’t cutting it anymore. Things hurt that didn’t used to hurt. And it’s been a minute since you PR’d. 🤨 

TikTok bro’s, adding volume, upping your weights, and “you can rest when you’re dead”—that ain’t it. 

You’re smart 😉 so you know there’s a way to design a tailored, badass lifting schedule that leaves you energized and present in your life—AND gives you a poppin’ booty. 

👀

Well, you’re right! 

I’ve been where you are. And I might not be able to do anything about the existential dread, the burnout of “having it all,” or the young folks coming for our ankle socks…

But, I can help you get your cakes back.

ARE YOUR WORKOUTS BURNING YOU OUT?

Maybe you’re plateauing, so you’ve tried adding more cardio or an extra crossfit or hyrox class—but all that’s doing is making you more tired.

Or maybe you’ve tried one of those massage guns, PT, or yoga to address that nagging hip/shoulder/back pain—but even though it feels nice in the moment, it’s not really getting the job done.

I get it.

I’ve been there too, babe, and it sucks. When I first started strength training and crossfit, it was all about pushing your limits over and over again. We rested the way an 8-year-old brushes their teeth—badly, and for not enough time. 🤦‍♀️

Also, all those programs—not to mention the constantly varied workouts and technique we were taught—were designed by men, for male bodies.

Your body is not a machine, and what you do in the gym doesn’t exist in a vacuum. If you’re stressed about something in your life, or your sleep is messed up, or it’s been too long since you gave yourself a break—your body isn’t always going to benefit from a super intense lifting sesh.

Plus, you have curves. 😉

What all that means is that you deserve a regimen designed for your body, at this age, at this phase of your life.

Designed by someone who gets it (that’s me 👋).

It also means you get to rest a LOT more than you think. :)
