Come get strong with other women.
We keep hearing that lifting heavy is what our bodies need, especially as we age.
Bone density, energy, muscle, mood, sleep. The science is solid. Wait, why should I be lifting? →
And lifting is simpler than people make it sound.
Somehow it's been made to feel overly complicated. There's too much confusing and conflicting information out there. It can actually be simple, fun, and empowering.
Start with the Foundation Series to learn the lifts, or come straight to Open Lift if you're already training.
Two Sundays to learn what to do. The patterns, the principles, and your own plan to take anywhere.
Come lift with a group of women - all levels. Coaching on the floor for cueing, form, or programming questions.
Our July popup is held in a private studio in Mountain View, CA, near El Camino & San Antonio. All sessions are in person. Full address + parking details in your confirmation email.
Hi, I'm Roxana 👋
I learned to lift in high school because a friend showed me how. In the past few years, I've gotten more serious about it (and recently became a NASM Certified Personal Trainer), but what I keep coming back to is how much those first few sessions mattered.
Now that women are hearing more and more that they should lift heavy, I also keep hearing the same thing: "I want to start, but the weight room feels intimidating."
Honestly, I think lifting has been made to look more complicated than it needs to be.
Over time, I've been finding ways to make it feel simpler and actually fun - and turned friends into lifters along the way - and I want more women to have that experience.
I've been immersed in the data and science of it all through my day jobs too - building fitness products at Peloton, diabetes and chronic disease products at Verily and Dexcom. I'm an engineer - turned product executive - turned strength advocate. Lately I've been deep in the science of how women's bodies adapt to lifting - it's its own thing, and most gyms don't account for it. The biggest thing I've learned is that behavior change is hard, and that nothing beats real community, in-person support, and the confidence that comes from genuine mastery.
Sunday Lifting Club is the first step toward building that. I hope to see you there!

Foundation is a two-Sunday cohort to learn the basics - squat, hinge, push, pull, with coaching on every rep. Open Lift is a weekly hour where you come do your own lifting with coaches on the floor for cueing and form checks. Foundation is the on-ramp; Open Lift is the ongoing thing.
Yes - that's the natural path for most women. Do the Foundation Series in June, then keep coming to Open Lift on Sundays.
You're exactly who the Foundation Series is for. We'll meet you where you are, and what we teach scales to any level. Start there and you'll walk out with a plan and the confidence to use it.
Open Lift is built for you. Drop in any Sunday starting July 12 - you don't need to start with Foundation.
It's more than a workout. You'll absolutely move and practice the lifts - and you'll also leave understanding why you're doing each move and how to keep doing it on your own. The goal is mastery, not exhaustion.
