Hi, I'm Anne
(She/Her)
I'm a middle-aged, mid-sized, mother, educator, public health worker, and certified personal trainer.
I'm tired of fitness fads that make you feel like you need to look a certain way, ignore your own instincts, or leave the gym feeling totally wrecked in order to be strong.
I want to help you build serious strength while honoring and loving the body you have now.
GENTLE STRENGTH IS FOR YOU IF...
You know that strength training has so many benefits, but you aren’t sure where to start.
You want to lift weights, but you feel intimidated or out of place in other gym settings.
You’ve tried boot camps or HIIT workouts with weights, but you’d like to slow down, improve your form, and increase your strength.
You have experience with strength training but are looking for structure, accountability, and a supportive group of people to get even stronger with.
You are returning to strength training or starting for the first time postpartum, post-injury, or later in life and are looking for personalized feedback and guidance to lift weights in a way that feels good in your current body.
You like to hike, run, garden, play pickleball/golf/softball, etc. and you want to improve your performance and avoid injury through strength training.
