Fall 2026 Programs are LIVE!
I can’t believe next week is the last week of our summer programs! Our summer team has weathered heat waves, vacations (good and bad), relentless work schedules, and the occasional illness to practice consistency (imperfectly - the only way we can!) and invest in cultivating sustainable movement practices. I’m so excited to share some of their reflections with y’all once classes wrap up!
The main things I want you to know about this fall’s offerings before I lay them all out is that my goal is to support my clients in establishing and cultivating sustainable movement practices - that includes both strength training and walking/running (you can also do other cardio like biking or swimming if that works better for you, but as far as cardio goes I’m only able to directly support folks in training for beginner/intermediate walking and running at this time). Movement guidelines support a minimum of 75 minutes of vigorous activity or 150 minutes of moderate activity per week AND 2-3 strength training sessions and 2-3 cardio sessions. So my offerings are in support of building that habit, grounded in community and meeting you where you are.
As a reminder, sliding scale is available for all of my offerings. Go to the Services page for more info on that; the details are also written into every product description.

Here’s the run-down of what I will be offering this fall:
Strength Training (Starting Week of Aug 24)
Strength Training Foundations. Mon & Wed 7:45am OR 5:00pm. Want to get into strength training but not sure where to start? Look no further! This program is now 12 weeks long, but don’t worry if you need to miss a few sessions. The point is consistency, remember? So there are opportunities to make up workouts at home and you will pick right back up where you left off when you rejoin the group. Register here for morning session and here for evening session. Payment plans are available for this program - see event info pages for more info.
New times added! HIIT Strength Drop-In Classes. Sun 7:30am & 5:30pm, Tues 6:30am & 6:00pm, Thurs 6:30am & 6:00pm. Purchase a session pack, or a monthly Core membership for unlimited access to in-person classes and at-home workouts.
Powerlifting (Starting Week of Aug 24)
Powerlifting 101. Mon & Wed morning OR Tues & Thurs evening. Learn basic powerlifting movements in a supportive, small-group environment. Register here for M/W morning and here for T/Th evening. Sessions run late August to early October, and late October to early December. All sessions listed and open for registration on “Upcoming Events” page.
NEW! Powerlifting Party. Sun 9:00am, Wed 6:15pm. Monthly membership includes weekly 3-day training schedule including core and accessory work. For folks who have completed Powerlifting 101 (or a similar program elsewhere). Register here.
Walking/Running Accountabili-Buddy Groups (Starting this weekend!)
While I’m unfortunately not able to commit to coaching an in-person run club at this time, I can create training plans and put folks in touch with each other who share a common goal to make it happen! That’s the idea behind these Accountabili-Buddy Groups. (If you are interested in starting a slow run club, check out FrontRunners - an international organization of LGBTQ+ walking and running groups. We don’t currently have one in our area, but I would love to support whoever would like to start one!)

Training plan is for folks who can jog at least 20 minutes comfortably, but all are welcome to join the race - you have a luxurious four hours to complete the course!
