Unleash Your Inner Beast

weight lifting for every woman

Lioness Fitness isn’t like other gyms you’ve been to.

First, we believe that bodies are amazing. All of them. Including yours, right now.

We want to show you what it can do, and then watch that knowledge change your life.

It doesn’t matter how fit you are or aren’t when you walk in this door. You’ll feel like a badass when we hand you a barbell, a kettlebell, or some battle ropes.

And you’ll quickly realize that if you can do hard things here, you can do hard things anywhere.

We turn gym-haters into gym-junkies. We talk and laugh through every single class.

We dare you to NOT have fun here, even if you’ve never enjoyed a second of exercise in your life.

We teach women to move their bodies the way they’re meant to move, keeping you injury-free and strong in all the right ways as you navigate your daily life.

(If you wanna be playing tennis with your girlfriends in your 80’s before your afternoon Old Fashioned, the time to prepare is NOW, girl.)

Want to lose weight? Cool. Don’t? Also cool. We don’t assume, and we don’t obsess about it (trust us: it only makes the process worse.)

What we want for you, most of all, is to move better and feel better (physically and mentally), so you can enjoy life better, both now and later.

We’ve done our research, and we know what many fitness professionals are just starting to recognize: that every woman on earth would benefit from lifting weights, regardless of goals, lifestyles, and limitations.

We are proud to be a gym that cares deeply about women and strives to give them what they need to be the most energetic, functional, confident possible versions of themselves.

We believe that fitness has been underserving women for years. And we’re here to change that.

We’re tired of watching fitness programs work women into the ground, leaving them exhausted, injured, and ready to quit. (All current research clearly points to the fact that working smarter > harder.)

We’re tired of the assumption that all women are (or should be) trying to lose weight at all times. (Especially since all the fixation on weight loss is leading to less success in losing weight.)

We’re tired of watching fitness programs prey on postpartum moms during an unbelievably tender time in their lives, pushing the “pre-baby body” agenda rather than encouraging thoughtful, compassionate postpartum recovery.

And we’re just plain tired of watching the effects of all this pressure on our culture. All of the self-loathing and self-punishment is distracting us from being the strong, confident, compassionate LIONESSES we were meant to be.

This class is for anyone who's mastered the fundamentals of bench press, back squat and deadlift and is ready to explore how much weight they can really move! No minimum weight requirement, just a focus on proper technique and personal progress. Here, you'll ditch the timers and embrace the pure satisfaction of heavy weights, low reps, and an atmosphere filled with encouragement and celebration of strength – it's serious lifting with seriously good vibes!

Good for all ages with previous lifting experience.

A few variations on our strength classes…

  • Family strength

    Do you have a tween/teen who is interested in strength training? Bring them along! In this class our moms will work through our classic STRENGTH rotation while the ‘cubs’ learn some lifting basics, explore new equipment and burn off some energy. A great bonding opportunity for everyone!

  • strength & stretch

    Join Jordann for a 4 station heavy lifting session, followed by 30 minutes of breathing and stretching. This is the perfect way to unwind and reset before heading out to conquer the day!
