Ana is a total game-changer! I came in as a complete beginner to resistance training, feeling a bit out of my element. I’ve always wanted to build strength and tone up my frame, but I didn't know where to start. Ana made everything feel so approachable that I committed to a 10-session package immediately after our first workout. I’m officially excited to get strong, and I couldn't ask for a better partner to help me hit my goals for 2026.

Thank you so much, Rebecca. I truly appreciate your trust and commitment from day one. It’s been a pleasure supporting you as you start your strength journey, and I’m excited to keep building toward your 2026 goals together.

I recently started working out with Ana and I’m really enjoying it so far. Her sessions are clear, structured, and easy to follow, even for someone like me who’s still getting comfortable with strength training. I already feel more confident in my form and can tell I’m getting stronger each week. I appreciate her calm, supportive approach, and I’m looking forward to continuing the progress.

Ana and I have been doing strength training together for about a year and a half, and I can genuinely say my glute development has improved a lot. My lower body feels stronger and more toned, and I’ve noticed my overall energy levels going up as well. I’m excited to keep training with her and continue seeing my strength and physique improve.

Thank you, Angela. It’s been great to see your consistency and the progress you’ve made over the past year. Your strength, energy, and glute development are the result of your hard work, and I’m glad you’re feeling the benefits. I’m looking forward to continuing our training and building on everything you’ve achieved.

Ana is absolutely wonderful! She’s kind and warm - it’s like having your friend helping get you in shape. She pushes you in a way that is encouraging and motivating. I have a lot of health issues and she modifies on the spot, as needed. And she warns me when something is going to be hard! If you are in the market for a trainer, consider your search complete. She’s truly the best!

Thank you, Laura! ❤️ I always have so much fun training with you. I love seeing you get stronger and more confident every week and yes, I’ll always warn you when the hard part is coming 😂

I met Ana through Toastmasters, and I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to attend her Women’s Strength & Hormones Workshop. As a woman approaching 54 and navigating menopause, I learned so much about menopause, its many symptoms, hormone replacement therapy, and the importance of being proactive about my health during this stage of life.
The workshop gave me more than just information—it gave me the knowledge and confidence to take the next step and schedule an appointment with a menopause specialist. Although I haven’t had my appointment yet, I now feel much better equipped to ask informed questions, advocate for myself, and have meaningful conversations about what I may need to support my health and well-being now and in the future.
I’m truly grateful to Ana for creating a workshop that was informative, empowering, and so relevant to women at this stage of life.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
During your first session, your Women’s Strength Academy coach will assess your goals, training history, movement quality, current strength, and fitness level. You’ll go through a tailored full-body workout while your coach evaluates technique, mobility, exercise tolerance, and appropriate training intensity.
From there, your coach will build a progressive approach around your goals, abilities, and schedule. The goal is not simply to give you a workout — it’s to teach you how to strength train effectively, build confidence, and make measurable progress over time.
