About Us
train like a girl body positive studio

Train Like a Girl is not just a gym, it’s a revolutionary act of radical self-acceptance and love through movement and community support. It is a space where you are encouraged to come as you are and is committed to helping women realize the power of being enough, just as they are.

 

Because we strive for diversity you won’t see a certain “type” of women at Train Like a Girl. We welcome the idea that everyone looks different, we have different lives and struggles, we are at different places on our unique journey and we strive to be supportive in that. We, as a supportive community come together as one with wanting more, empowerment, confidence, strength, FUN and collaboration with other women.

Our Philosophy

I believe that together a strong group of supportive women is a force to reckoned with.

 

I believe that every woman, no matter her size or condition level has the potential to become her strongest, most mentally fit, most confident version of herself inside and outside of training sessions.

 

I believe that when a woman is authentic in her true self when she is able to share her strengths and weaknesses with others when she is able to break away from the social stigmatism of health and beauty she will be unstoppable.

 

I believe that with a knowledgeable coach, an empowering program, and a safe training environment a woman should push herself beyond any mental boundaries to become physically stronger in the gym if it’s for the right reasons. The goals set and her coach should leave her feeling powerful. Allowing her to discover a potential in herself she never knew existed.

 

I believe that strength and mental grit can be developed through training. The physical strength a woman builds in the gym transfer into life. Allowing her the transformation she is truly seeking, confidence in herself, strength in her relationships, career, & ability to handle mental & emotionally stressors more clearly.

 

I believe women should be encouraged to share their unique stories and they should celebrate that uniqueness. Women should embrace each other. They should choose to love and respect one another no matter how different they may seem.

 

I believe training should be a beautiful, empowering experience with a community where women are free to be unique and thrive in their own version of strength.

 

I believe all women are capable of training fiercely if they are willing to work hard and have a positive attitude. If they are willing to invest energy in themselves. If they are willing to understand that it’s not selfish but completely necessary to make time for themselves.
