Together we will celebrate small wins and accept setbacks as learning opportunities!
😭You`re not seeing results with your training because 🔻
⚡️You`re not training with enough INTENSITY (junk volume doesn`t cut it love)
😤You`re not training with enough intensity (likely) because 🔻
⚡️You don`t have the confidence to push your sets
😩You don`t have the confidence to push your sets because 🔻
⚡️You don`t have the FOUNDATION of proper form and TECHNIQUE
_
💥 FORM will ensure that you have the confidence to train intelligently and effectively, without injuring yourself
💥 TECHNIQUE is strongly key for hypertrophy (muscle growth) style of lifting (which FYI is NOT powerlifting lol)
Technique ensures that you are creating the greatest amount of effective TENSION possible to stimulate isolated muscle growth for a SCULPTED physique
Bonus bit of info: just because you`re getting stronger doesn`t ensure physique results 😘
_
ONE of my areas of GENIUS: technique baby 😎
I take women from wandering around the gym, guessing their way through form---> to self assured CONFIDENT GYM BADDIES
--> My program will leave you with more hypertrophy training knowledgeable and confidence than most personal trainers out there have
💗 Badass program design
💗 Genius technique training
💗 A coach who cares and will PUSH YOU to your greatest potential
That`s the recipe right there 😘

11 years into lifting and I`m more on fire than ever for the woman it fuels me to be. The way it up-levels EVERY other AREA of my life. The confidence, resilience and drive it gives me.
IM DETERMINED to be the most wild, SEXY, authentic, badassss, wealthy, loving, unapologetic and successful version of me I could ever dream.
I have big plans for 2026- for myself and my community- and nothing is stopping me.
Fuck average 🔪

🦋 In my program- I am committed to offering a portion dedicated to identity work. Refining the vision over and over. And the stripping away of anything in your way of that vision.
This is the lasting change that will ultimately transform your life
I`m so passionate about this work because I`ve walked it.

Let`s claim it ALL baby 💅❤️🔥🔪💗

Ladies: take it from my years of plateaus and trial and error... And my years of GROWTH and experience:
Here`s what you need to lock down for that juicy toned booty 🔻
🍑 FORM AND TECHNIQUE: Your mechanics are the foundation of progressive overload. Most women are very unconfident in this area. This leads to potential injury, lack of INTENSITY, and lack of growth. Focus on dialing in your technique and perfecting the basics
🍑 PROGRAMMING: there`s a science to this. Wandering around the gym, guessing your exercise selection is never going to cut it. Glute programming takes a specific template with the proper combination of volume, rest and intelligent exercise selection
🍑 TENSION: your main goal when you walk into that gym should be getting more proficient at training. Exercising doesn`t equal training! Ditch the apple watch and start setting performance goals.
STRENGTH >>> calorie burn (bonus that protein muscle synthesis burns more fat around the clock than cardio will)
🍑 NUTRITION: I too use to be terrified of food and "gaining weight". Weight lifting 1000% was key to healing my relationship with food 🥹
Even if you`re in a fat loss phase, you still need to be fueling your lifts and eating ENOUGH to grow... prolonged deficits lead to a trashed metabolism...
EAT YOUR CARBS, make sure your nutrition matches your training goals, and have a long term body recomposition roadmap so this is done strategically!

I can sure be a dick to myself. We all can 🔻
And every time I start beating myself up for where I`m not- I remember all the past versions of me that got me where I am. She fought so hard to believe in us, she`s come so far.
And I feel convicted.
And I apologize to her ☹️

Consistency is a love language to your future self
It feels like nothing is happening.
Until one day you look hard in the mirror and realize, you barely recognize yourself.
And if you slow down and stop the race for a minute, you`ll notice there`s at least a few answered prayers that you`re living 💘
_
✨ Keep going ✨
You go to the gym. You don`t see change.
You write a journal entry. You don`t see change
You eat a salad instead of french fries. You don`t see change
But over time..... TIME..... your identity will shift
You`ll realize
You responded differently
You broke a pattern
You`re walking confidently into the gym
You`re wearing a crop top
Your body`s reshaping
You`re not craving foods you use to
You crushed a PR
You`re setting boundaries
You`re attracting a higher vibration
You`ll look back and realize-
You conquered the void
✨ Keep going :))) ✨

She`s failed more times than you`ve tried
Failure is just a bullshit construct people use to excuse self sabotage
And it`s not what should be feared-
Stagnancy is
"Failure" is movement. It`s means you`re actively in pursuit of your dreams.
🧨 In fact, failure is your most important and critical training ground for growth
This is why people who never allow themselves to fail - also never win
Your capacity to succeed is directly proportional to your willingness to fail
_
My success in my fitness journey isn`t defined as much by my muscle or physical strength
To me my success is defined by the fact that I have screamed in the face of every discouragement and every odd stacked against me (and ya I`ve had a shit ton)
I have used the lows to dig deeper roots and renew my mind and my vision over and over again
Failure isn`t in my vocabulary
Everything is for my greatest expansion.
✨ Everything ✨

Happy Monday 🫶
You have this one finite life
Go big or go home baby
Reminder- setting small ass goals and signing up for bullshit 30 day challenges isn`t "trying" .... get off the fkn fence and set goals that scare the shit outta you and run like a crazy person towards your literal endless potential
LOVE UUUUU XOXOXOXO

Gotta have your own back baby 👅🔪

Who`s ready to make September their bitch
🎀🎀

Girl how are you going to maximize your booty gains if you don`t know how to optimally booty bias your movements? 😩🫶
_
💥Glute bias vs hamstring bias RDL💥
⚡️ SIMILARITIES:
•Both are compounds that will work glutes and hams
•Both are hinges that start from the top--> down (as opposed to deadlifts starting from floor--> up)
•Both are too be initiated with the HIPS
•Both take a tremendous amount of skill and practice!!!
⚡️DIFFERENCES:
The primary difference is *KNEE FLEXION* that allows an increased LOAD on either the glutes or hams- however there`s definitely technique and internal cues that need to be applied to the hip hinge itself
🔑 THE KEY- is having a greater stretch on the muscle you want to load the most.
❗️More stretch = more muscle fiber recruitment baby
•Hamstring bias- lessss knee bend will = a straighter leg and more stretch on hammies
•GLUTE bias- more knee bend to allow hips to drive back further and lower = MORE STRETCH/LOAD ON THAT BOOTY BABYYYY.
_
Nuance to this as mobility allows woop!
I`m pretty damn committed to staying mobile and flexible so my "Hinge" might look different than yours-
👉 Pro tip reminder that MOBILITY HERE COUNTS and you need to do your mobility work like your gains depend on it. Because they do
_
✅ My coaching program includes dozenssss of trainings on specific techniques that OPTIMIZE growth (that you won`t find anywhere else I promise you)
Yes- booty growth techniques for sure 😈 but every training you could need to optimize your RESULTS
✅ All of my programming includes appropriate-to-the-lift mobility work, which my clients see AMAZING results with including reduction in pain and increase strength and ability
You`re not working with me why?? 🥰🥰
✅ Comment or DM "gains!" for more info on my high level 1:1 life-transforming program

"Who are you trying to impress??" 🙄...
My kids 😌🥲
Being fit is cool-
Being fit in motherhood? Fuckin savage
MUSCLE MOMMY. GETS. ME. GOING 😮💨👅
_
I got to lift with my 14 year old son yesterday- and you know my bicep vein had to come out and show him who`s still boss since he`s 9" taller than me now 😤😂
Hearing him say "DAMN" when I was doing curls definitely made 11 years of training all worth it haha 🥹
Gun is going into his freshman year of HS next week and mommy is his new trainer 😁🥲😈
THIS IS SO SPECIAL AND EXCITING OMG 😭😅
_
Be an EXAMPLE of health and fitness for your children
Take time to fill YOUR own cup, so that you can be your strongest self for them
Teach them about caring for their physical and mental health
Become so sovereign as a family that Big Pharma can`t profit off of you 🤢
Act like the world depends on it, bc it does 💖🥰🙏
