💡 TRAINER TIP TUESDAY: Don’t forget the muscles you CAN’T see working! 💪

When you’re focused on a squat, deadlift, or heavy lift, it’s easy to think only about the main muscles doing the work. But two things can make a BIG difference in your strength and control:

👉 YOUR GRIP: Squeeze the bar with intention. A strong grip helps create tension and stability throughout your entire body.

👉 YOUR BREATH: Take a deep breath and brace your core before the lift. Think about creating 360° pressure around your midsection to help keep your torso stable and strong.

Next time you lift, remember:

GRIP. BREATHE. BRACE. LIFT. 🔥

The little details add up to stronger, more controlled movement — and that’s exactly why having a coach in your corner matters.

At 74 years young, she shows up ready to work, get stronger, and—of course—talk a little mess while she’s at it. 😂

Her energy is contagious, her sarcasm keeps us laughing, and she brings joy to the studio every time she walks through the door.
